I recently became addicted to netflix as I really have no life outside work and riding. I have seen most movies and am impressed with their selection of obscure dvds, especially those showcasing live music or variances thereof. Just curious which some of you have seen and might recommend.
I go to a fair amount of concerts, but I really like seeing acts that you might not normally have the opportunity to see on a regular basis. Esp when you can kick back at home with a 5.1 surround with a HD LCD and your own beer selection. [drink]
My recent favorites are:
-Gorillaz- Demon Days live
-Daft Punk- Interstellar 5555 (anime film synched with Discovery)
-Daft Punk- A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes (vids from Home Work along with small live excerpt from Live 1997)
-Portishead- Roseland NY (w/ sypmh accomp)
-Jamiroquai Live at Montreaux-
-Queens of the Stoneage - Over the years and through the woods
-Primus - Hallucino-genetics live 2004
Any recommendations????
+1 on Demon Days Live
Completely different music styles, but..
Los Lonely Boys - Texican Style:Live From Austin
Allman Brothers Band - Live at The Beacon Theater
Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii
David Bowie - Reality
AC/DC - Family Jewels ;D
I think the NIN live DVDs are really well put together. "And All That Could Have Been" and "Beside You In Time"
Not really a music DVD but i've always loved "The Wall"
And "Tommy" by The Who. [thumbsup]
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Live at El Mocambo
Gov't Mule - Rising Low (a tribuite to the late Allen Woody)
Roger Waters - The Wall - Live in Berlin

Tool - Salival
Steely Dan - Two Against Nature (live concert at Sony Studios for a PBS broadcast)
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere
Anything by Fish
Anything by Marillion
Rush - R30
I've got about a hundred at this point, but that's a good recap of the ones I watch most often.

Do you mean Phish?
Mike Gordon, the bass player, was the producer and I think director too of the Gov't Mule DVD, Rising Low.
U2 Vertigo (Live in Chicago) is a good DVD
underworld live: everything, everything
Pixies Sellout tour DVD
Radiohead at the Astoria
Huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band DVDs. Stellar video/audio quality. Obviously high budget production. I have been to a couple of dave shows and I would say that the DVD audio on my H/K, Paradigm 5.1 setup is actually much better than the live concert in person. If you want proof, just ask my neighbors [bang] Video quality is also top notch. They are obviously running atleast 4 cameras at all times.
Forgot to add the
Pixies acoustic in Newport

No, actually I mean Fish. He's a Scottish singer that fronted Marillion in the '80's. Never been much of a fan of Phish, though I do like Gov't. Mule.
Thread Revival, but better than starting a new one on the same topic:
Just finished watching "Alicia Keys: Unplugged" dvd. Not much of a Alicia Keys fan, but man she can sing.
John Legend at The House of Blues was so-so, but he's got some great talent.
Any new music DVD/Blu-Rays to report on?
David Gilmour: Live at Royal Albert Hall
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds: Live at Radio City Music Hall
U2: Rattle and Hum
Pink Floyd: Pulse
Eric Clapton: Unplugged
Thank god my father introduced me to Floyd, Zeppelin, and Clapton.
The Clapton Unplugged is great, I loved the U2 R&H dvd as well.
I'll have to check out the DM/TR dvd next [thumbsup]

Timmy is a weird MoFo. But he can play that guitar like no one else.

That's no lie, dude plays a mean guitar. I absolutely love the DM/TR at Luther College cds.
Another State of Mind.... Social Distortion
Jimi Hendrix - Live at Woodstock
If you like Metallica check out
Cunning Stunts-really cool ending
&
S&M- The DVD really brings out the symphony in the music and there are lots of extras on how it all came together.
Quadrophenia by The Who.
Dispatch: Zimbabwe
Dispatch broke up after an album in 2002.
They got back together to do one last concert (so they thought) in 2004. They were expecting between 10,000 and 30,000 to attend Hatch Shell in Boston. Turns out they had an estimated 110,000 from all over the world putting it at probably the largest concert for an independent band EVER!
There's actually a DVD on that. Very good too. Called "The Last Dispatch"
Last year they wanted to do a fund raiser for the children of Zimbabwe so they put on a three night concert at Madison Square Garden.
No independent band had ever sold out Madison Square Garden, as the story goes.
Dispatch sold it out all three nights!
The Clash: Revolution Rock

I'm always impressed with them. Definitely a lot of sound out of such a minimal arrangement! [thumbsup]
Plus I've never actually seen a solo xylophone jam in concert before either. Wow. :o
Metallica has an awesome live DVD with the San Francisco Orchestra... and my other favorite... Tenacious D.
