Recommended Live Concert or Documentary Blu-Rays?

I just search for what I am looking for. I wanted a good Heilung concert blu-ray so I just searched for "Heilung blu-ray".

I just searched Amazon for "blu-ray concert videos" and it brought up a lot of them.

Thank you!
I guess that I was way too generic.
So, yes, being more specific works.
Again, thank you!
 
The Grateful Dead Closing of Winterland. One of the best shows they did. Shown on live TV and FM Broadcast. Its been released in DVD and re-released on Blu Ray. There is also a cd release. Again, an all time GD classic show.

Radiohead, The King Of Limbs live from the basement

The Pixies, Loud Quiet Loud
The Fog of War, a movie that appears to be about Robert McNamarra, but which is actually an unnerving documentary about the music of Philip Glass - mandatory viewing for US social studies students.
 
The only genre I really dislike is rap/hip hop. This morning I was listening to Megadeth and now I have a playlist with Erutan and Ashley Serena playing.
I could do without opera, too. I was exposed to it live when I was young & knew the language. I wanted to know "why are these people screaming to classical music"?
Still do!

I can't stand operas that have women singing in a very irritating voice. Worse than scratching a chalkboard.
 
Anathema - a sort of homecoming
Nightwish - showtime, story time
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize
Peter Gabriel - Secret World live
ACDC - live at river plate
Shine a light
Rish - snakes and arrows
All Blurays by the Danish national symphony orchestra
Wagners Ring by Mehta and La Furs dels Baus

A Concert for George - everybody who's anybody in George Harrisons life got together and sang his songs, 2nd DVD is all Ravi Shankar in orchestra.

The Who - Isle of White, remasters seem to be better.
Also The Who - Endless Wire, from when Pete and Roger got together and put out new stuff in the early 2000s. DVD available though they sorta lose energy after the first few songs. Geriatric windmills.

God causes us to have hearing loss as we get older to protect us from that noise. I am certainly not bringing it into my home.
 
I'll second the Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense", any of the Pink Floyd shows, "The Last Waltz" and Peter Gabriel's "Secret World Live". The list couldn't be complete without Jeff Beck "Live at Ronnie Scott's. May I also suggest the Eagles "Live At the Capital Center" (Hotel California live), "Hell Freezes Over" and "Farewell Tour" from Melbourne as well as Stevie Ray Vaugh "Live At the "El Mocambo" and "Live From Austin Texas". If you don't think they sound great, just ask my neighbors...

That is a very broad swath of musical tastes. Bravo.
 
An unusal concert blu ray to consider: Yello "Live in Berlin."

Most concert videos use the surround speakers to recreate the ambience of the concert hall. Not this disc, because Yello performed the concert in quad surround, thus there is considerable musical content to the surround speakers. This is faithfully reproduced in a superbly mixed and mastered dts MA HD 4.1 soundtrack (which, by the way, will upmix nicely via dts Neural:X if you want a center channel and up to 7.1.4.)

Edit-I should have mentioned, if you have a compatible processor, dts will automatically engage the surround back speakers together with the side surrounds giving a proper quad mix even if you have a 7.1 system without using Neural X for upmixing.

Note, Amazon in the U.S. has a warning that the disc is locked to Region B (Europe.) Not so - the disc is Region 0 (unlocked) and will playback on North America devices without any problem.

Kraftwerk - Minimum Maximum

I enjoy their music and it's high on my playlist. (being born in Austria, I understand their language)
Me, go to one of their concerts? Depends on the women that asks me to go, how much I like her & if she is paying for me to go with her to this. Because otherwise, NO.
Watch their videos, No, not for me.
On the other hand, the Blue Man Group fills what I am looking for in being entertained enough that I would offer to pay for a night out with a female friend that included seeing them.
And I own video's by them.
Different strokes for different folks.
