Top 4 in no particular order

The Last Waltz (I can see coke on NY's nose on my blu-ray)
Decline of Western Civilization (LA punk is so weird and the Germs suck)
Stop Making Sense (Best and worst of the late 70s/early 80s)
New Order Perfect Kiss Video (Demme, man)

Honorable Mention
Ashes of American Flags (good gimmicky small town stuff. it aint no I Am Trying To Break Your Heart)
Burn to Shine 1 + 2 (more Brendan Canty)

I’m glad you mentioned the Wilco offerings. I love the band and regularly watch Ashes of American Flags and I am Trying to Break Your Heart.

I’m really looking forward to Solid Sound in June. Two years ago, the band opened with a beginning-to-end performance of Being There, and then capped it of with Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in its entirety. It was one of the best live shows I can remember, and I’ve seen a lot of shows.

She was pretty awful in Las Tres.

Urgh! A Music War is top ranking. So many awesome artists. That Cramps clip ****ed me up as a youth.

Concur on these:
Woodstock - Santana 'Soul Sacrifice'....WOW!
Monterey - Janis at her best.
Last Waltz - the end of an era.
Concert for George.

I guess you now know how old I am and which direction I vote, but I promised myself this would not be a political post....

This isn't a concert BUT was part of one.
I watch this video at least once a day.
It keeps me grounded.

Woodstock is the king rock concert film, the desert island one, the one that captured the culture best (along with Monterey Pop) while the rest are (some really excellent) tributes.


If one song is a concert, then this:

Never understood why the biggest fans of the Dead, the music and the experience, were frat boys. Makes you wonder about how our brains are wired.

Have to add The Doors, Live at the Bowl '68.

Morrison is likely high and/or drunk and a bit over the top, but worth the watch nevertheless. At the top of their game, and the video and audio quality is high.
