I own about 50 concert DVDs and am always looking for recommendations on more to buy. Which are some you guy's favorites? Which new ones are great?

As of now I'll be buying:

-Jimi Hendrix Live at Monterey
-Led Zeppelin Mothership (2 CD set with free concert DVD ==== anybody know what the free DVD is like?)
-Planet Earth series HD-DVD

Drifter those 2 are some of my favorites too. I already own them both. I give the edge to The Last Waltz though.

I was just thinking. I'd love to own some videos of early Fleetwood Mac on DVD. With Spencer, Kirwan, and Green. Anybody know anything about the DVD, Fleetwood Mac - The Early Years?

I really like a Paul Simon one that was filmed in Paris. I think it's called "You're the One" - it certainly was done around the time of that album. I don't have super hi-fi tech stuff, but the picture and sound on that release really blew me away - felt like I was there. And though I'm a Simon fan, I'm certainly not a fanatic, so it's that unique video that really impressed me...

Indispensable!

I'll add:

Otis Redding: Live at Monterrey
The Who: Isle of Wight
Amy Winehouse: I told you I was trouble (Bush Empire, not her best concert, but the only one available on dvd)
The Beatles: Live at Shea complete ... just joking.

I have about 20 or so, and I find that I either never watch them or watch only short portions of them. so I've pretty much stopped buying concert dvd's. They just don't keep my interest.

Two exceptions that I think are very good:

Concert for George
Bangladesh
