Thanks: Gave 8, Got 43 | Best Music/concert films in Hi-Def
Thought I'd start a thread about music/concert films. I've just been reading reviews of the 'Dave Matthews - Live at Radio City' Blu_ray.
Its getting universal acclaim. HiDefDigest say '....the TrueHD is without a doubt the best audio presentation I've yet heard on a next-gen release. I mean it -- it's that good.'
Any other recommendations? NB this disc is region A locked on BD

Nine Inch Nails: Beside You In Time is everything a next-gen concert film should be. Stunning True HD audio and PQ. Can't recommend it enough.

It's still making its way through the postal system but I'm really looking forward to some Shakira: Blu-ray.com's review High-Def Digest's review

The "Concert for George" is my favourite. Wonderful, almost religious atmostphere to the whole concert. Some astonishing Indian sitar playing from the gorgeous Anoushka Shankar and a large Indian orchestra comprising some of the weirdest instruments you may never have seen. Rude Monty Python humour - and great rock music from Eric, Paul, Ringo, Jeff Lynne, Sam and Joe Brown, et al.
Superb High Definition camera work, 2 discs in DTS sound - perfection.
(The only problem is - it's not out in HD yet ! )
Come on people - release it on Blu Ray, please...!

Arrrgh
Just realised that Dave Matthews BD is region 1 locked. Come back HD-DVD all is forgiven :-(
Thanks for all the other recommendations, I'll be ordering a few of those :-)

One disc that blew me away, as a result of being showcased in the Sim2 demo at the What Hi-Fi Show was the Tony Bennet Blu-Ray disc. Unfortunately I think it's only available as a region-locked import.
I thought the Nine Inch Nails HD-DVD was one of the direst I've heard, having bought it based on endless rave reviews. But if you can cope with the monotonous, tuneless, noise thrash the picture quality is never less than amazing.
