    Fearless Freaks-A Film On The Flaming Lips
    Dig-Brain Jonestown Massacre and Dandy Warhols
    Running Down A Dream-Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

    both are by far my favorite. I want to get the new Smashing Pumpkin one as well.

    Damn, I haven't seen any of these but I would love to see them all. I watched "Imagine" recently (Lennon). It was pretty good except for a little too much Yoko.

    What about That Last Waltz? That should be the first on any list as far as I'm concerned.

    Also, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Wilco).

    Hype! Goes into some pretty cool detail on the Seattle Music scene as Grunge was taking off. Even gives some bands that never made it as big some really cool exposure. I highly recommend.

    What about Gimme Shelter?

    Those said already: DiG!, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

    The Devil and Daniel Johnston - awesome. This is the guy who wrote Walking the Cow.
    Some Kind of Monster - talk about watching a trainwreck. pretty interesting though.

    Still haven't seen No Direction Home. Next time I have a spare four hours.

    I like DiG a lot too. I bought it because I was a fan of the Dandys and came out liking BJM even more!

    Metal: A Headbanger's Journey -- yes that's great...even if you don't like metal. I love metal.

    Pavement's Slow Century is very good

    The Kids are Alright is excellent

    Those were the first two to come to my mind as well. Though I'd rank the Wilco dvd higher... it's the best I've ever seen.

    I will say DIG for sure is one of the best I have seen. BJM are the bees knees.

    I have a Doors Live In Europe 1968 Doc that is cool.

    Gimme Shelter- Rolling Stones has to be considered as on of the best too. Captures the end of an era.

    Some Kinda Monster....just to see the disfunction in that band...wow
    End of the Century...good stuff
    Metal....wow

    The Last Waltz is the greatest
    Runnin' Down a Dream
    No Direction Home
    Shine a Light....I enjoy the hell out of this one

    I wouldn't say it is one of the greatest out there, but Bad Relgion's Live at the Palladium, which in the performance/interview style of Waltz and Shine a Light, is one of my favorites
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
