Mike Lindsey Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I'm sure this has been touched upon many times but I am just too lazy to check the archives. Anyhoo, I am looking to add to my DVD concerts and was wondering what was out there that is well recorded. Some that sound good that I currently own: Eagles - Hell Freezes Over (DTS... say no more... 12 years later and still the benchmark) Roger Waters - In The Flesh (DD but no center channel... outstanding nonetheless) James Taylor - Live At The Beacon Theater (DD... very well done with some nice bass) Fleetwood Mac - The Dance (DD... excellent, but not quite as good as the 2 above) Yes - Live At The House Of Blues (DD... another really good recording with some excellent bass) Peter Frampton - Live in Detroit (DTS... pretty darn good, and some great Frampton guitar work to boot) I have some pretty bad stuff as well (Rush Live in Rio comes to mind), but am interested in finding some new material. If you have something that sounds good to you please say it here. All music considerd. [] Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 More good ones: ELO- Zoom Eagles- Farewell Live 8- PINK FLOYD! Peter Gabriel- Secret World Live The above concerts really sound great on my system. I have too many that sound mediocre. Rush & Cheap Trick are a couple of the poor recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 ...I have some pretty bad stuff as well (Rush Live in Rio comes to mind), ... [] Mike I couldn't agree with you more! I gave that DVD away I was so disappointed. [:|] Off the top of my head and always on my rotation are: Sarah Mclachlan--Afterglow Live depeche mode--One night in Paris INXS--Live Baby Live To name a few...[Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I've got a nice collection of concert DVD's and I'll throw out a couple for your consideration . Alison Krauss + Union Station Live ,DTS/DD , This is by far my favorite ! Wonderfull sound and visuals , "the Belles never sounded so good" Incubus Alive at Red Rocks , DD , I love this one , maybe a tad on the bright side , but will knock your socks off ! The dual drums and bongos on track 10 are awe inspiring . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Rush - R30 was outstanding. Blue Man Group's - The Complex Rock Tour Live DVD is also an outstanding DVD if you're into something different. http://stores.musictoday.com/store/product.asp?band_id=430&dept_id=1060&pf_id=UEAM32&sfid=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkp Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have a couple recommendations for you. Eric Clapton's "Crossroads Guitar Festival" has some of the greats on it. Heart "Alive in Seattle" includes a couple of Led Zeppellin remakes-sweet. I also want to give a hearty second to the Sarah McLachlan "Afterglow Live" I picked this up last year and it is absolutely stunning.

sunburnwilly Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 You will be blown away by Alison Krauss on your LaScalas ! Promise !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikekid Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 "Heart "Alive in Seattle" includes a couple of Led Zeppellin remakes-sweet." I agree with that too! (Well mixed DVD) Eric Clapton- One more car, one more rider & the Crossroads as mentioned. I agree with the Sarah McLachlan Afterglow DVD as well. Don't laugh, but I have a Cyndi Lauper- Live at last dvd thats actually very good. Elton John- One Night Only-The Greatest Hits. Tom Petty- High Grass Dogs [] Roy Orbison- Black/White Night All of these sound GREAT to my ears............ Mike, let us know what you think............................... Have fun Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Mike, some pretty good prices, where did you order from? You ordered the Led Zep? On the second disc, there is some acoustic Zep that in my opinion, is worth the price of the disc, great stuff. Dave Mason, Bob Marley will not dissapoint, good sets, both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 OB, those prices are from http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/ The great thing about them is free shipping as well. Sometimes the cd/dvd can be cheaper at Amazon, but the free shipping generally makes it cheaper to shop Deep Discount. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flannj Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Keller Williams - Sight Recommended to me by my hairy, 16 year old, guitar playing son. Recorded at Mr. Small's theatre in Pittsburgh, PA in November 2004. Contains material from 2 shows. One of the most versatile and talented musicians I have ever seen. For the most part a one man show - with a definite jam-band feel to it. The guitar work is particularly amazing. DD 5.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepathlesstaken Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Another vote for: Roy Orbison - A Black & White Night (DTS) (1988) And probably one of the best overall bands to come out of the 80's (IMHO) Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense (1984) (DD 5.1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
