DVD concert video recommendations?

While in a Frys one day I heard the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" live concert DVD playing in the HT demo room. The system in question was a Harmon/Kardon dvd player on a Harman/Kardon A/V receiver w/ some high end Polk HT mains and sub. The system actually sounded pretty good as the Polks have a warm sound to them at moderate volume. This pretty much kicked the HT project into action as I have been planning to get to it for about five years. Well after a visit to the local Good Guys and some spectacular luck I was the proud owner of a pair of RF5s and an RWS-10 (which was latter returned for an RSW-12). The audio and video quality of the Eagles DVD is just spectacular. Now that I am totally hooked on this DVD concert thing can anyone recommend some titles w/ as good a presentation as this DVD. I went out on a limb an purchased a Sade concert DVD as I am a fan of her music. Unfortunately the quality of this dvd is so poor it looks and sounds like a bootleg. As far as musical taste is concerned, I am all over the map so I am open to any suggestions and musical taste. Thanks for the advice.

These are probably listed someplace on gtDark's two threads:

Not in any particular order:

Led Zeppelin: DVD

Heart: Alive in Seattle

Peter Frampton: Live in Detroit

Peter Gabriel: Growing Up Live

Genesis (Phil Collins): The way we walk tour

Just a notch down from the above:

Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston (Christine McVie is missing from the group and a rather uninspired showing by Stevie Nicks)

Blue Man Group: The complex rock tour Live (The visual quality suffers at times due to all of the blue lighting).

Metallica S&M- It is amazing to me how well heavy metal transposes to all of the instruments in a full orchestra.

If you like that, look for Apocolyptica. This is four cellos playing Metallica, and a few classical pieces on occasion. 9.gif

Okay, this might just be me then...

I find that "Hell Freezes Over" in DTS has popping sounds on the Hotel California track. They are absent in Stereo, but the stereo mix has WAY more bass than the DTS and sounds un-natural. Has anyone else notices popping sounds on that track? I can't even listen to it anymore and play "New York Minute" as my favorite now.
