yromj Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 My favorite isn't on this list: "Norah Jones: Live in New Orleans". The video is pretty good but the sound is really good. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmar Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I bought the Dave Mathews Bands Live in Central Park, which I grew to like allot especially when they introduced Warren Haynes. He started off with Cortez the Killer, by Neil Young, amazing guitar player! Someone lent me Govt Mule: The Deepest End and I watched it a few times and it was ok, but I never watched the last half, I finally listened to the Politician by Cream, and the next six songs blew me away! You bass lovers will like Thorazine Shuffle when FOUR bass players are on stage! There are many different guest players in the 2 CD one DVD package and over 6 hours music, including 13 bass players. Also Bela Fleck, Karl Denson, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band Horns. I went out and bought my own copy of the Deepest End tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eq_shadimar Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Ok I have most of the ones mentioned so I will add: Blue Man Group - The Complex Rock Tour Live Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense The Complete Monterey Pop Festival Doobie Brothers - Rockin Down the Highway Simon and Garfunkel - Concert in Central Park I have many others but that would be a short list of the new ones I have picked up and some old favs that I really like.

Audible Nectar Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 You can add "The Last Waltz" to the list - a chronicle of The Band's final performance at Winterland. Speaking of Winterland, allow me to recommend again "Grateful Dead - The Closing of Winterland". This is the best Grateful Dead available on DVD. And Jerry just cooks here.....

Mikekid Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi. I just picked up Eric Clapton "One more car, one more rider". It is live concert footage while on tour in 2001 (in Los Angeles) and is mixed in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Excellent concert! Great sound........

kenratboy Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I have to second that Peter Gabriel ("Growing Up") disc. At Best Buy, we have that as the demo disc on a Pioneer HTiB system on a end cap. People come up to me after watching it for 30 seconds and ask for the DVD. It is really good. I will probably buy it when we get more in.

baseballfan Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'll second (third? fourth?) Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Live" - excellent sound and an interesting show visually. Blue Man Group is OK although I tire of their schtick after awhile. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Santana's "Supernatural Live" yet. Supernatural was not one of my favorite Santana albums, but this is a great DVD. The sound is superb, the kick drum of Rodney Holmes will give your speakers a workout (the guy is an amazing drummer, he does great rock/jazz fusion work with Steve Kimock's band). This DVD is almost impossible to sit still to. For the more jazz/fusion oriented, two DVDs with Pat Metheny are notable. "Dejohnette, Hancock, Holland, Metheny in Concert" is a real treat - recorded in 1990 it is (surprisingly) in 16X9 format with an excellent PCM track in addition to DD5.1. And last year's Metheny Group tour is doumented nicely on "Speaking of Now Live". A great DTS track and smokin' performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Yes I must say the Peter Gabriel "Growing Up Live" is excellent as well as secret world. I think the best one though is Pulse. I happen to have Pink Floyd's Pulse on Laserdisc wich is very rare and it is outstanding. Both video and audio are top notch but only digital stereo. Can't wait for that to come out on DVD in 5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I love the Saturday Nite Live 25 years of music DVD. There is so much great music on there. We should have a debate sometime on who thinks who gives the best performance. Neil Young's "Rockin' in The Free World" is just smoking!

ez8947 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'm am amazed not to see Eric Clapton Unplugged, this is a wonderful acoustic set. Another good one is James Taylor Live at the Beacon Theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauRus Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I agree with most of the discs mentioned in this thread. Would like to second ELO "ZOOM" - a fantastic trip back to 70s. Very professional performance, in many ways I like the way their song sound now compared to the original recordings. They sound a bit more mature. And the hot chick n the stage - oh la la ... Also, I would like to mention a couple DVD-A discs - I know they are not DVD concerts - both are by Queen - A Night at The Opera and The Game. I wish they released the rest of Queen's albums in DVD-A or SACD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOOTERDOG Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 TauRus, I have both those DVD-A by queen and I agree, they sound outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I'm not sure if this was mentioned but the Doobie Bros.(Rockin' down the highway) dvd has really good audio quality and a great set list.Some of the best sound wise, Bad co,Steely Dan,Fogerty,New Animals,Cult,BOC,Frampton,Weird Al,lots more but there are some poor recordings that make Klipsch mad.

TauRus Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Btw, does anyone know if Dire Straits ever released a SACD/DVD-A/DTS/DVD Concert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas42 Posted May 15, 2004 Share Posted May 15, 2004 I finally got my hands on Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD concert. You have to buy this from overseas and it is somewhat expensive but worth it. If anyone is interested in the VCD version of this, I can let mine go since I have the DVD. This is simply one of the best rock performances on DVD I have ever seen, if not the best...
