Best DVD's (Page 1 of 2)

I am a DVD music junkie!  Here are some of my faves in no particular order:

Joe's Rockpalast DVD
Joe's ANDY Live
Lightening in a Bottle
10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads
Albert Collins: The Iceman at Mount Fuji
Eric Clapton: Sessions for Robert Johnson
Blues Summit: B. B. King
Crossroads Guitar Festival
Ana Popovich: Ana!
Susan Tedeschi: Live from Austin Texas

oh  . . . and anything SRV or Hendrix and I also enjoy documentaries.

Right now, I'm about to watch Robin Trower: Living Out of Time Live.

Here's a few Antone's Home of the Blues a documentary with great footage and interviews. The Derek Trucks Band, Songlines Live; Live from Bonnaroo 2004: Peter Gabriel Still growing up, Live and Unwrapped: and U2 Rattle and Hum......my taste, my opinion!

Led Zeppelin DVD - Best selling concert DVD ever

Gary Moore Live Montreux

Allman Brothers Beacon

Rush Live In Rio (Crowd energy second to none)

Woodstock (the original of course)

Roger Waters

I agree.  Thanks for this starting this topic.  I'll have to look into some of these DVDs everyone else has mentioned.  After all, we all like Joe, so it's obvious we have good taste in music.  Whenever I watch my Joe DVDs or Sessions for Robert Johnson by Eric Clapton I completely zone out into another world.  The house could catch fire and I wouldn't know it . . . and it provides my "fix" until the next live show.

First of all I must say that I still prefer CD over DVD. I am more a listener than a TV watcher.                                                                                        When  I put on a CD I often close my eyes, have a wine and make my own images. Sometimes I lay down on the floor to listen in complete darkness!! Sounds crazy but I assure you I'm not!                                                          A real eardoctor from a hospital , who is a musiclover himself, told me that when you lie the fluid in the ear is at the best position for concentrate listening. If it is proven I don't know but I have the idea it works! Maybe you all should try!!

I don't have many DVD's but these I like very much :

-Both Joe DVD's
-Allman brothers band- Live at the Beacon Theatre
-Dickey Betts & Great southern- Back where it all begins
-Thin Lizzy - Inside 1971-1983
-Tony Joe White- In concert. Ohne Filter, Musik Pur.( like Rockpalast, german)
-J.J. Cale- On tour with A film: To Tulsa and back.
-Frank Zappa- Does humor belong in music? (Live In San Fransisco 1984)-
-Alquin- One more night. Legendary Dutch 70's band, made a reunion 3 years   ago and this live DVD.

I also make DVD's myself from live music programs on TV, mostly Rockpalast concerts.

Last ones - Stoney Curtis Band and the Eddie Turner band.

Dear cathy,

Zappa is one of my greatest heroes. I've seen him 8 times live in Holland.
he did a European tour every year and we went with our 5 men zappafan group.  I loved him from the album Uncle meat till now. Sad he passed away.                                                                                                                I must be honest to say that I don't like everything he made , but what I like and that's far the most is the best there has been and still is in music. His lyrics and music is outstanding and no one has ever done something equal in music!!!

One size fits all, Overnite sensation, Zoot Allures. Live in new York:  all Masterpieces!

Just Look at all the people who joined his band;
Lowell George, Simon Philips, Steve Vai, Ansley Dunbar, Jean Luc Ponty, Ian Underwood, terry bozzio, Ike Willis, Ray White, etc.

Enjoy him Cathy, I will.
Another proof: We all love good music!

Here's a few more which I would recommend :

Muddy Waters-Classic Concerts -excellent quality with the only footage available from the historic 1960 Newport Jazz Festival, a show from Copenhagen in '68, and from Norway's Molde Jazz Festival in '77. A "must have" for blues fans.

Deep Purple- Live in California 74 -worth it if only for seeing Ritchie Blackmore at the end of the show taking revenge on one of the tv cameras, exploding the amps and destroying several guitars...classic moment in rock history. Good performance too.

The Muggs-Live At The Magic Stick-Detroit blues rock at its finest.

Rainbow-Live in Munich 1977-great performance by the Dio led Rainbow, with Cozy Powell.

Jimi Plays Monterey/Shake! Otis at Monterey-Almost all of Jimi's historic Monterey performance(with the burning of the Strat), plus Otis Redding, a true classic.
