    How could someone rip you for Rush in Rio? Fantastic! The R&R Hall of Fame will continue to be a complete and total joke until they are let in.

    Some DVDs I have and like:

    Springsteen Barcelona
    RATM Mexico
    PJ Live at the Garden (in my opinion their best overall DVD)

    Do you not like like "Live at the Garden"?

    Love that Rory Gallagher one.

    Cream reunion concert at the RAH 2005.

    Just a couple to live up to my name:

    The Concert for New York City
    (just The Who's part, ya can skip the rest)
    The Who at the London Coliseum
    (bonus disc w/ Kilburn 1977 DVD)

    The visual is sorta crappy on that Coliseum show but it's from December 1969 making it a Live at Leeds contemporary recording and really a kick to watch. The Kilburn show has its moments but seeing The Who live back when they were only known for being a live band is better IMHO.

    A documentary with great performances:
    Standing in the Shadows of Motown

    I'm sure I'll think of some others.

    i'll second the last waltz. even for someone who isn't a fan of the band yet. and it's got dylan and neil and van and so on. and it's scorsese.

    As I mentioned above, The Doors 30th anniversary collection:

    http://atlanticdvd.com.au/index_stuffer ... 21~content

    http://www.jbhifionline.com.au/Product/ ... -THE-DOORS

    Couldn't find this DVD anywhere on amazon or other websites until searching by title on google, not even Wikipedia has it listed.
    But it is awesome, from their Hollywood Bowl show, not to be confused with their other DVD Live At Hollywood Bowl which only has like six songs, this is more complete and has live tv studio performances.

    Yeah I picked it up for a bargain, $10-$15 AUD a few years ago.
    Great value for money.

    Interesting. I am blown away by the Garden DVD every time I watch it. I was super excited for Lost Dogs to come out and not that excited for the Garden DVD (if you remember they came out the same day). I liked and still like the DVD better. It might be because of my low expectations for it.

    I think I have the opposite reaction to Immagine because I had high expectations and I was let down. Granted there is some great stuff on there (Ed and Mike on the roof, Ed playing Immortality by himself, the camera angles)...I think I was hoping for more from the behind the scenes stuff. I could have used more Stone, and by more I mean any.

    Audioslave in Cuba is a great dvd

    The Led Zeppelin DVD released in 2003 is the definitive rock music DVD. Showcases them from the early days in Albert Hall 70 right up to Knebworth 1979, and demonstrates why they are the greatest rock and roll band of all times!

    This, along with "How the West Was Won" (I think that's the name of the cd live release they put out at the same time), are two that have been on my to get list since they came out. What am I waiting for?

    Yeah, I was the opposite. Lost Dogs blew me away... I loved it. The Garden dvd was cool, but it was my least watched dvd. I think I've just had an overkill of live PJ. I don't like when things are on 2-discs because I'm lazy and hate switching ;) Plus, I feel like there weren't any moments that particularly jumped out at me, unlike tb2k.

    That is a great dvd. My gf said she hated U2, so I made her watch that dvd. Bono is such a huge, over-the-top personality that it can be easy to forget that at heart these guys are just a great rock band. The politics and ego and sunglasses shadow their music too often. That dvd shows them in the light most people forget... an honest, incredibly genuine band that loves making music. If the intro to that dvd with 'Elevation' doesn't get to you, I don't know what will.
