Best Concert Film

I never seem to tire of Talking Heads great concert film, "Stop Making Sense". Never ceases to get the adrenaline pumping, the foot taping, and a smile from ear-to-ear. I used to have a VHS tape of it long ago.

Any other nominations for "Best Concert Film" of all time? I couldn't find any threads in the archives on the subject.

Strange that nobody mentioned Live Aid(1985).
Poor sound and picture quality , but the atmosphere is incredible.
Especially the performance of Queen and U2.

Just wanted to add the Los Lobos Filmore dvd. The sound is great and the production has that live feel without a lot of unnecessary editing to add excitement. Format to fill widescreen. This was their 30th anniversary concert, what a great live band!
