A Concert for GeorgeA Concert for George
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $14.98
A year to the day after George Harrison's November 29, 2001 death, Eric Clapton assembled some musicians--people who had played with Harrison and known him intimately, including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston and Tom Petty--to perform his music at London's Royal Albert Hall. Sam Browne's version of "Horse to Water" on this DVD is fantastic!

Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $6.00
Filmed at Madison Square Garden in October 2000. I especially enjoyed the performances of "Club at the End of the Street" and "I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That."
Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition)Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $8.14
This Elvis Presley concert documentary filmed in 1970 shows rehersals and concert footage from several concerts in Las Vegas. These concerts marked the beginning of his return to live performances after the "movie" years. Although the "Aloha from Hawaii" dvd gets slightly better (4.5) reviews than the "That's the Way It Is" dvd (4.2), I like this one much better.
Have You Heard - Jim Croce LiveHave You Heard - Jim Croce Live
