What are your favorite concert videos?

I do most of my listening on my 2ch rig, but lately I've enjoyed the occasional concert video in the HT. The problem with concert videos, is that most of them sound terrible - from poor recording quality, no bass, ridiculous abuse of the surround channels (Guitars coming from behind you), and so on.
I sincerely want to know what you all have come across that you can recommend. I'm not necessarily looking for the best SHOW, but more the best quality SOUND - If both can be had, so much the better.
One that I played the other night that fits the bill is Toto's Falling In Between from 2007 in Paris France. The sound is fantastic - great staging, the surrounds are used for ambiance to put you in the arena, the bass is tight and room-filling, and the clarity is a thing of beauty. The special rendition of Rosanna is killer, and Hydra with the opening drum solo is incredible. I also enjoyed the interviews with the band members.
I have the BluRay version, and listened in DTS HD - Highly recommend! What have you seen that you would recommend?

I just bought all the 40th anniversary CD's Friday. 2112, Farewell to kings, Moving pictures, Hemispheres and Spirit of Radio. Each one has live concert concert CD of that tour that supposedly has not been released. Looking forward to them. -
Another one I've come across lately is Alison Krauss, A Hundred Miles Or More, Live From the Tracking Room. While not exactly a concert, it is a set of live takes from the studio. The sound is superb, even for DVD, and the duet with James Taylor is worth the $15 price in and of itself. Some great interviews, with some touching and humorous stories as well. Highly recommend.

Sade 2011 concert Tour on Bluray, I've had this for awhile, but I played it for a few neighbors on my backyard system (6.2) using a Epson 1060 HT projector on a 180" screen played it in DTS highres and its very very good both visually & sound quality.

Jeff Beck Live at Ronnie Scott's. I think it's only on DVD rather than Blu Ray but for audio quality that doesn't matter that much.

I saw Jackson Browne at the Royal Albert Hall. World class venue and, as a musician, you know you've made it when you play there.Mike Reeter wrote: »

I've had the VHS of these since back in the day, haven't watched them in years but I do have a VCR in the closet.

The 1972/74 remastered versions.
This one is awesome too. 2017 I believe.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
With my closest friends, I usually love SSSniperwolf concerts when I have spare time. These days, I never skip. Every weekend, I go to SSSniperwolf gigs.

Love the atmosphere of this performance, excellent choice!
Hard to pic a favorite but you can't go wrong with Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live at Radio City -

Great rendition of stairway to heaven in front of the masters themselves.

Not a concert but great jam sessions. Search "Live from Daryl's House" Lots of different artists and genre's covered.

I've just bought this on blu-ray, excited to see it in it's entirety. I've seen parts here and there. If they did a tour it would break records! -
Eagles Hell Freezes Over DTS is fantastic
Some of the Pat Metheny Group DVDs are ok in 2 channel. Speaking of Now Live is the best audio quality of all they have done live.
Los Lonley Boys Live From Austin is pretty well done.
Norah Jones Live In New Orleans
Dont waste your money on the Sting Brand New Day tour. The audio is terrible.
