What are Your Top 5 Music DVDs?
Not sure if this has been covered recently  - couldn't find it anyway, but someone will no doubt tell me if it has  .
To kick off mine, for which my criteria would be not necessarily the music content, but primarily the quality of the audio in the first instance, I would pick, in no particular order:
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Dixie Chicks - Live at the Kodak Theatre
Robbie Williams - Live at Knebworth
Elton John - Live at Ephesus
Queen - The Making of the Night at The Opera
What would be you picks??

There is a thread here...
Recommend me a good music dvd
...but AFAIK music DVDs haven't been discussed for a while so there may be some new ones people might want to mention, or just refresh a few of the old gems

A Concert for George - didn't see that mentioned in the other thread (might've missed it I just scanned). Beautiful, especially that Monty Python skit with Tom Hanks; and great sonics.
Rush in Rio
Fleetwood Mac the Dance
Queensryche Operation:Mindcrime
and Pulse, when it comes out :P

Ahhh yes I knew I had forgotten one Duran Duran Greatest. Rio still looks great even now, didn't the band blow half their earnings in the 80s on exotic videos like Wild Boys & using Anton Corbin????

Got to agree with these two......plus Noel Gallagher is actually quite funny.
Also got to include:
Therapy? - Scopophobia
Iron Maiden - Death On The Road

I've got to admit I haven't. Same guy who introduced me to HFO is same guy who gave me the hifi bug. Great memories. I might have to invest in Farewell I at end of month.
Hope to see the NIA concert pop up on DVD maybe.
Just love Tequila Sunrise, especially the live version. Eagles really are amazing Live performers
