Title: Post your favorite music dvd(s).
Post by: Jenno on 05 Dec 2006, 16:39: Having recently acquired I Am Trying to Break Your Heart - A Film About Wilco and Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem (Daft Punk); I'm interested in obtaining some more of these marvelous creations. So please post your favorite music dvds and why you like them. Perhaps we could even have a discussion of some kind...

Post by: kokeyjoe on 05 Dec 2006, 17:16: One of my favorite DVDs I've bought this year is Opeth's "Lamentations." One simple reason why: they play all (or close to all) or their "Damnation" album, which sounds great live. With mostly acoustic guitars, and just a light sound overall, everything stands out with amazing clarity in 5.1 surround sound. Long live the mellotron!

Absolutely fantastic, needs more flamethrower though.

Post by: Will on 05 Dec 2006, 22:22: Converge - The Long Road Home. ?On one side of the disc you have a compilation of old video footage spanning the first 12 years of the band's career, on the other side you have three different full sets. ?It's well worth the price; on the plus side, Deathwish was only charging $12 for it when it came out.

Relapse Records Contamination Festival dvd. ?The Mastodon and Neurosis sets alone were worth it, plus it's cool to see some old Pig Destroyer stuff live as well.

Dresden Dolls - Paradise
Ben Folds & WASO - Ben playing the piano accompanied by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra?!? ?WIN!!!

Even though the commentary lacks Rivers, it does have Pat, Brian, Scott, and Karl.

Post by: adara on 06 Dec 2006, 03:06: The Hives' "Tussles in Brussels:

Showcases the Hives doing what they do best: playing amazing rock music. Many people I know that haven't even heard of the Hives before have become huge Hives fans after watching this.

And I will have to second "Stop Making Sense," man that is a great movie.

Post by: Narr on 06 Dec 2006, 07:51: Audioslave: Live in Cuba.

First American rock band to ever play Cuba. The documentary on the band's trip to the country was pretty neat, and the concert itself was pretty awesome.

That's actually the only music DVD I've ever seen, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Post by: Will on 06 Dec 2006, 10:59: I forgot Zao's "The Lesser Lights Of Heaven," which is one of the best band-related DVD's I've ever seen. If you're a fan of the band, it's awesome to see this much history. The people who put the documentary portion of the dvd together did a fantastic job compiling it, and the extra live footage on the second disc is well worth watching also

Stop Making Sense

for the hilarity value, that Metallica video where it shows them in the studio with Bob Rock. Was that "Some Kind of Monster" or the other one? I don't remember.

A document of The Band's final concert, and an amazing film in its own right. See it.

Post by: the_tard on 07 Dec 2006, 09:03: ScrambledGregs - live at pompei = yes.

Also, someone has probably said this already, but even so it deserves to be said again - the Led Zeppelin 2 disk box set. Great stuff.

So, if it isn't The Who, then The Band's on first? What's on second?

Post by: KharBevNor on 07 Dec 2006, 18:55: Behemoth's Crush.Fukk.Create DVD s pretty fun, but that's about all I've seen, bar a few Nuclear Blast vid compilations I own, Metal: A Headbangers Journey (which is actually a pretty fair overview of the whole thing, though I only partially agree with the guys thesis. It's worth it for the interview with Gaahl alone.) From the clips on Youtube, I really want to see all of Current 93's 'Since Yesterday', except I'm pretty sure it's never been released on DVD and since World Serpent has sadly folded it probably never will.

Both, I thought. It's just that one didn't produce St. Anger.

Post by: AlexAttack on 08 Dec 2006, 07:31: Emperor's Emperial Live Ceremony has incredible sound for a metal live set.
Carpathian Forest's We're Going To Hollywood For This: Live Perversions is pretty cool. Nattefrost keeps calling the audience black metal dudes and the bass player has a very strange dress sense.

Post by: TynansAnger on 08 Dec 2006, 07:57: We Jam Econo is my favorite. An amazing documentary on the Minutemen, and an absolute must for 80s underground fans.

Post by: kokeyjoe on 08 Dec 2006, 17:09: On the way to work this morning, I remembered what is quite possibly my favorite music DVD of all-time.

Peter Gabriel's "Growing Up - Live" DVD.

Probably one of the best concerts I've ever seen on film, just so theatrical and inspired. The sound is phenominal, the visuals are brilliant, and the performances are moving.

It just doesn't get much better than that one, for me.

Post by: Mr. Square on 09 Dec 2006, 06:27: I recently bought Live at the Palladium by Bad Religion.

Yeah, I'm a Bad Religion bum-monkey, but this was a purchase for the fact that a lot of it consisted of stuff from Empire Strikes First, which is an awesome album, and the best new stuff they've released. I mean, listen to Sinister Rouge along with the overture. Punch in the face, anti-Papal bliss.
But, to be honest, its BR's first live DVD, and it was good, but not GREAT. The footage was strung together from two seperate shows, which I hate anyway, but you wouldve thought they would try to make it more subtle. One shot - Brett playing guitar with spiked hair and glasses - next shot his hair is instantly soaked and the glasses have gone. It's pieced together to be pulled off as one show, not like a patchwork, but done poorly.

Yay to the band, boo to the video engineers.

Oh, and the Gorillaz live vid is also good. Watch.

Hoo boy. I think we're thinking of either Classic Albums, or more than likely A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica.

Post by: Fiddler on 11 Dec 2006, 21:22: When I clicked this thread the first thought that popped into my head was I bet it starts with Wilco. Honestly when any of the rest of you watched that dvd what did you like about it? When I watched that I remember being far more interested in the girl next to me than what was going on in the DVD, I just felt like it wasnt very interesting, so what was entertaining about it?

And for the rest, in general do you think music dvd's are worth the price? Occassionally I enjoy one, but never enough that I'd want to buy it for myself.
Title: Re: Post your favorite music dvd(s).
Post by: Brian Majestic on 11 Dec 2006, 22:22: Blood On The Cats - a collection of great garage/trash/psychobilly/etc. You got live footage of the Milkshakes (proving Billy Childish has not always had a mustache!), Stingrays, Guana Batz, the Meteors, Demented Are Go, Long Tall Texans, and video clips of the Meteors, Sharks, Empress of Fur, Frenzy, even the Jazz Butcher (!) and more.

Post by: Scytale on 13 Dec 2006, 12:24: Samael's "Black Trip" and Paradise Lost's "Evolve" would be my two favorite DVD's. Bruce Dickinson's "Anthology" is very good as well
Title: Re: Post your favorite music dvd(s).
Post by: Freezey on 14 Dec 2006, 11:18: chalk up another for Fugazi's "Instrument". Wonderful stuff there.

I really like Sonic Youth's "Corporate Ghost"; just for the sheer amount of music video goodness on it- all the commentaries are pretty neat too. and the fan-made puppet video for "Drunken Butterfly" is just too funny.

the Ted Leo "Dirty Old Town" dvd is pretty sweet. "Parallel or Together?" is played like two times faster, and "Ballad of the Sin Eater" is on it so you know theres some good fun to be had.

lastly, the Burn to Shine series is awesome.

Post by: SpacemanSpiff on 14 Dec 2006, 19:55: A lot has been mentioned already. I feel the need to add the newly released 061502 by Botch.
The show is pretty good, even if the image quality is not so great at times. But the hilarious part is when Botch watch this live show and comment on it. You won't really find out a lot of stuff about the band or about the lyrics, but the way they constantly make fun of themselves is pretty entertaining. Also, a game where the person who fucked up during the live show takes a shot while watching it should be standard on every live DVD commentary from now on.
