I'm looking for some good concert DVD's...especially those encoded in DD & DTS. I use these to show off the HT setup, and makes great for when you have a party and just want something playing on the HT.
So far I have a Keith Urban concert, and my favorite: Yanni Live at the Acropolis. The Yanni DVD is awesome...simply great for showing off the HT setup.
I also have a pretty good Michael Jackson dvd, but the concert was recorded in Stereo mode only...

Definitely +1 there ^^^^!
AC/DC Stiff Upper Lip
SRV- Live at the El Mocambo (short, but very sweet, IMO)
Metallica S&MSo, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

Pink Floyd Pompeii
Godsmack (Changes)
Sting (Brand New Day)
Roger Waters (In the Flesh)
David Gilmour In Concert
Metallica (Binge and Purge) and Cunning Stunts
Chris Botti and Friends
3 Doors Down Live in Houston -
Santana - Supernatural Live
Nice collaboration with something for everyone
Soulive - 1999-2003
Not sure how to classify them...Progressive Jazz??? Anyways, great instrumental music.
Rush - A Show of Hands
For some reason, this DVD is still much better than the more recent Rush in Rio.
Incubus - Alive at Red Rocks
My favorite live DVD...well, today anyways.
I've also seen a Disturbed and Herbie Hancock DVD recently that made a buddies Best Buy setup sound impressive.
EDIT: Scratch the Disturbed. It was the Godsmack DVD Mr. Haens listed above. -
Led Zeppelin - How The West Was Won (I think that's what it's called, but I am not at home)
It's in DTS and DD. -
Also, Primus - Hallucio-Genetics DVD.
It's my favorite music DVD, probably because I was there for the filming. -
It's not really a concert per say....It is a documentary with lots of live music in a small concert setting....
The musicians are guys you have never heard of....but I guarantee you have heard THEM...
The DTS track is superb....
SQ, mixing, etc....of the concerts is BETTER than Hell Freezes Over - (And yes...HFO is one of my favorite concert DVDs). I am not a fan of Multichannel music....but this one is done right. The music in front, the reverb and crowd from the back...It is like you were there. No gimmicks...just music like you would hear at a concert....
If your rig is good....this one will show it.
Standing In The Shadows of Motown
A doumentary film about The Funk Brothers (the band behind many of Motown's greatest groups/hits). It can be had for $10 or less....Give it a try....

The Cure Trilogy
-- awesome concert pulling from three of their best albums
Dolby Digital 5.1 to boot......I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Fleetwood Mac The Dance. Pink Floyd's The Wall is not concert, but is the full movie/album with some cool, swirling surround. SRV DVD off the 4 disk box set that comes in book format (can't recall title.) It is from his Austin City Limits performances. His second set of concerts, recorded during his clean days, has much better fidelity. This disk is better than the other disk not found with the box set. A Tribute to George Harrison w/Clapton, Petty, Ravi Shankar's daughter on Sitar, Jeff Lynne and an amazing Indian orchestra. If you want a great sound, this is it.UNIVERA

Premonition, Stevie Ray Vaughan's Live at El Mocombo, Brian Wilson's
Smile 2004, and Floyd's Pulse are other favorites. Great sound on all of them.

No biggie, but the title How The West..... is the 3-disc cd set.
The DVD is aptly titled Led Zeppelin-DVD
Just didn't want anyone to pick up the wrong thing. You really should have both in your collection anyways
H9"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment.

Suprised nobody has mentioned Eric Clapton One More Car One More Rider, may have the best audio. Also , get to see the great Billy Preston.
Also, second the Eric Clapton Crossroads--very eclectic and audio is fantastic
Another that I particularly like is Aerosmith You Gotta Move--not recorded in DTS but still sounds good nonetheless. A lot of the classics with a touch of some blues off of Honkin on Bobo.
The only negative part of these conert videos is that I do not have a high end tubed DVD player:D

If you can find a copy of Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense DVD, grab it... It sits atop many concert movie lists.... including mine...
For historical reasons, Woodstock - The Director's Cut, should be in any collection. The sound track was cleaned up and sounds pretty darn good for its age. The Director's cut release doesn't really add any footage I'd call indespensable, but a nice Janis Joplin number was added. Besides, there was plenty of indespensable work in the original release.More later,
Tour...

Yes, that Clapton is very good. Billy Preston playing that instrument I can't recall that has him blowing air into a tube while playing keyboards. Damn, he was the man. Played with everyone. Sorely missed. Also, a second on The Who at Albert Hall. Big sound. You can really feel the openesss of that amazing place.UNIVERA
