Best Live Artist on DVD

[sab30]

With the nearing completion of my system I have been doing alot of thinking and asking opinions on this topic. I like Santana SuperNatural Live but U2 Rattle and Hum and the Eagles Live seems to get alot of thumbs up, any other thoughts?

I just picked up Dream Theater - Live at the Budokan recently. It's a good listen. I also enjoy my Coldplay Live dvd. I've only briefly heard that Santana Supernatural dvd, but I liked what I heard at the time.

Every time I'm at the local Best Buy or Circuit City, I always browse through the music DVD's to see if anything good has come out. It seems that the only stuff I find is that Britney Speared or Godsmack has a new DVD out, but nothing I actually listen to. I'd love to see a Chevelle or Incubus live dvd hit the shelves.

I fella I talked to today suggested U2 Live at Slane Castle is supoose to be awesome and also Sting has good audio. I have an e-bay bid on the US Slane CD for $12 I will give you my take once I get it..your right about the Britney crap..bring on the quality artists.

Live concerts on a good HT system are a great way to spend an evening with friends...throw in a few adult beverages and common appreciation of the artist and you are all set. Four of my favorites are:

Eric Clapton - One More Car, One More Rider.

U2 - go Home live in Ireland. I haven't seen Rattle and Hum but if you like U2 you should like this one

Sting - All This Time. Performed on 9/11....a very good (if understated as warranted by the events of the day) show performed at his home in Tuscany Italy. backed by some very good musicians/singers

The Dave Matthews Band - The Central Park Concert

Oooh forgot about DMB..thanks Red..is that the best one Live you have seen (ie Live in Central Park) ??

 

[Red]

yes....and typical DMB, its long....2 DVD set

 

[Quig]

yes....and typical DMB, its long....2 DVD set

I'd second(or is it third?) this one. Dave is great live...

I've got quite a few Music/Concert DVD's. I look for them more than I do movies...

To add to the list...

1. James Taylor; Both "Pull Over" and "Live at the Beacon Theater". The audio quality is unmatched in my opinion. Really good stuff...
2. Eagles; "Hell Freezes Over"
3. NIN Live; "And all That Could Have Been". Outstanding!!
4. Metallica; Both "Cunning Stunts" and "S&M" are very, very good.
5. Roger Waters; "In the Flesh" Very, very, very good.
6. Dave Matthews... As stated above.
7. Don Henley; "Inside Job" in DTS.

I've got many others but I think those are the highlights.

I picked up Blue Man Group's, "The Complex Rock Tour Live" DVD yesterday and I gotta tell ya, it's damn good!

 

[sab30]

Actually I heard that..when I first saw it at Futureshop I started laughing thinking who would buy that the more people I told the stupider I looked. I think I will have to put that on the list. Man I got too many live concerts to watch I wont get to any movies..ohh well I like concerts better..next best thing to being there is on a 106" screen

U2 Elevation tour. It has a very loud sound track and a nice video transfer. But it's not widescreen. I attended a concert during the tour so it brings back fond memories. I really like the tribute to Joey Ramone.

The Dave Matthews Band - The Central Park Concert

I got the EC disc and it was abit slow but ok. The blues concert he did in SF i think that was on PBS blows one more out of the water. Its clapton at his best with the best band i've seen him with. Thats Blues.

 

[rolski]

Peter Gabriel - Growing Up
Roger Waters - In the Flesh
Coldplay - Live 2003
Underworld - Everything Everything
The Eagles - Hell Freezes Over

Surely this is the top 5....?!

Is this show out on disc? if so, looks like I'm on a new search

 

[shokhead]

I'm not sure if its out yet,look on pbs website. To tell you how good it is,i belive Martin Scorsese directed it.

 

[Red]

Is this part of the "Martin Scorsese Presents: The Blues" that was on PBS a short time ago? Found that on the PBS website - $100 for the DVD

Try these DVDs in DTS 5.1:

Steely Dan - Two Against Nature
Yes - Symphonic Live
Led Zeppelin (2003 - 2 DVDs)

 

[Bullit67]

How about Fleetwood Mac The dance

 

[runschmidt]

I have some of the music DVD's some of the lists. Diane Krall live in Paris is also excellent jazz performace

 

[dloweman]

Getting back to Dave Matthews, I have 3 of his dvd's with the central park being the best, but his first one called listener supported is also very good. I am not a real big fan of boulder colorado for some reason. Eagles DVD is also great as you all know. I am thinking about getting the blue man group dvd as well.

my personal favorite is Nine Inch Nails: And All That Could Have Been.
