I've been collecting concerts and documentaries on DVD lately, and I wonder what everyone's recommendations are. I really enjoyed the Beach Boys "Endless Harmony" documentary, hated the Paul Simon Rhino Records "Graceland" documentary (as well his concert in Paris - horrible). Musically the new Nine Inch Nails All That Could Have Been was great, but I thought Trent Reznor putting it together himself really showed.

Which DVDs have you thought were really good or bad?

Don't have a lot of music DVD's, but three good ones are:

Roy Orbison Black & White Night
Talking Heads Stop Making Sense
Buena Vista Social Club

Nine Inch Nails - And All That Could Have Been

I liked his use of hidden content, and thought that the footage was great because I am sick of the usual concert video style.

Tool's Salival is nifty too.

What Black Aspic said. (And not just because he said it, too, as soon as I saw this thread topic, that's the first one that came to mind.)

I remember seeing two music DVDs:

-Jeff Buckley (live in Chicago I think)
-Ben Folds Five (PBS recorded special performance)

I recommend both of those to fans or aspiring fans. I enjoyed them at least.

Agreed, it looked fantastic and the band was in top form!

I also enjoyed the Portishead PNYC dvd and Oasis ...there and then, although i wish they had the interviews in a separate menu.

Heavy Metal!

Do musicals count?

I recommend Hedwig & the Angry Inch. It will either entertain or offend you and if it offends you, you could probably stand to be offended more often.

I've been largely disappointed with the music stuff on DVD. I keep expecting to see stuff that was formally on LD or VHS that has still not made the leap to DVD. Guess I'm just not so excited about newer music.

Underworld Live.

"Baraka" & "Chronos". "Koyaaniquatsi" didn't do it for me. Went into an epileptic fit.

 

[Tuberoller]

Any of the "Jazz Casual" series.My favorite is the episode with John Coltrane.I also love "The World According to John Coltrane" which has very good sound quality.

 

[Jeff Guidry]

Archosman, I will agree that for some reason, Koyannisqatsi doesn't do it for me on DVD.

However, Powaqqatsi is perfect for me. Love the music, and I love the visuals. Eagerly awaiting Naqoyqatsi on DVD!

For me it is:
Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Eagles - Hell freezes over
