Well done overall with some amazing highlights like U2, Keith Urban, Linkin Park and Jay-Z, Madonna, Green Day, Faithless, Robbie Williams and many others. And oh yeah, check out Pink Floyd. They are flawless.
The Concert for New York CityThe Concert for New York City
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.86
This was a time of terrible tragedy, but also a time of great unity. There are some wonderful highlights including an opening by David Bowie, as well as performances by Melissa Ethridge, Goo-Goo Dolls, John Mellencamp,The Who (with John E.)The Stones, and many others. There are also short films by and about New York and New Yorkers.
What We Did Last SummerWhat We Did Last Summer
Buy new: $31.49 / Used from: $15.84
Robbie Williams is not well known in the states but this is a great concert by an amazing performer. The dancers are over the top and frankly ridiculous (IMHO), but ignore them and watch him.
FlamencoFlamenco
Buy used from: $189.98
The passion in the DVD is awe inspiring. Makes me want to get on a plane to Spain today. Music and dancing of various types of Flamenco are performed. Not many people know much about this type of music, and seeing it live is beyond description. This is as close to that experience for many.
The Last Waltz (Special Edition)The Last Waltz (Special Edition)
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $1.49
I saw this the first time in a theater in NYC. At the Ziegfeld. It blew me away. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, The Staples etc. And Levon Helm is amazing. And of course directed by Scorsese.
The Old Grey Whistle Test, Vol. 1The Old Grey Whistle Test, Vol. 1
Buy used from: $13.36
Interesting DVD with footage from the early 70s of numerous performers. The ones that stand out are Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, The Police (check out the glasses!), Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley and the Wailers,Tom Waits and The Talking Heads.
Los Lobos - Live At The FillmoreLos Lobos - Live At The Fillmore
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $8.40
Thirty years is a long time to be making music together. They are tight and versatile. I prefer the latin stuff but Good Morning Azatlan and Mas y Mas will blow you away.
Madonna - Drowned World Tour 2001Madonna - Drowned World Tour 2001
Buy new: $19.99 / Used from: $10.99
I skip around alot on this one, but my personal favorites are Ray of Light, Human Nature and Music. She really is a well rounded performer who just seems to get better and better.
Peter Gabriel - Secret World LivePeter Gabriel - Secret World Live
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $9.99
Great music. Fun DVD. Growing Up Live is probably just as good.
Greendale (Bonus DVD)Greendale (Bonus DVD) by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $2.92
The bonus DVD has Neil doing an acoustic version in a bar in Ireland. I am not always a big fan, but this one is really good. Also check out Heart of Gold.

Do I need to say anything about this one? You should already own this. A classic.
The Confessions Tour - Live from London (CD+DVD)The Confessions Tour - Live from London (CD+DVD) by Madonna
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $13.72
Another great concert by Madonna. She is in amazing shape and her dancers are incredible. She gives them a lot of time to showcase their talents. I happen to think this is one if the best albums she has put out in some time.
