We can talk about best movies in another thread - there are so many but I'm into concert/music DVD's - I enjoy watching them a lot more often than the movies. Here are some I highly recommend:
* Standing in the Shadows of Motown - (The story of the Funk Brothers). This DVD has song after song of great Motown hits and the quality is wonderful. Joan Osborne's "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" has been praised as the "showstopping highlight" that "brings tears to one’s eyes" in this "soaring" rendition.
* Return of the Champions - Queen + Paul Rodgers (Paul Rodgers does not try and "be Freddy Mercury" - he handles the material beautifully).
* Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium (yes, I really like Queen) - the sound and video are above average and the concert is outstanding - over 120,000 rabid Queen fans watching Freddy and Brian and the boys rock out.
* Supernatural - Santana
* The Strat Pack - Live in Concert (lots of great talents here)
* Live at the Beacon Theater - James Taylor
* Rattle and Hum - U2
* Live from Slane Castle - U2
* One More Car, One More Rider - Eric Clapton (outstanding video and DTS sound)
* Hell Freezes Over - The Eagles (DTS reference recording)
* Live at Donington - AC/DC
* Serious Hits...Live! - Phil Collins

I too love music DVD's. My Favorites:
Billy Idol Storytellers (superb recording quality)
Eagles (of course)
I just get pissed when the sound quality is terrible.

Have a ton of them, usually stick to those that have DTS encoding and I play them very loud (Sunfire Cinema Grand, 425wpc x 5 channels)
Toto live in Amsterdam sounds great, both Eagles, Elton John, Matchbox 20 and of course Nickelback live if you can find it.

I was just about to add Alice in Chains till I reread the thread. Metallica S&M is another great one.

I picked up the 3 Doors Down "Away From The Sun Live" dvd. It's a Monster Music DVD and is THX encoded. Unbelievable.
I saw Motley Crue's Carnival of Sins concert on HD cable once and it hasn't been back on again. That was a great show and the HD concert footage was outstanding. Figure it would be even better on DVD.

The Motley dvd is pretty decent as far as quality, certainly not the best, but it is "The CREW" !! :)

If you are looking for very good quality sound, get into multichannel SACD or DVD-Audio, it blows away DTS, DD, and THX.

Sure but there's no video with it :rolleyes:
DVD concerts are the best buy - typically less than CD's with great sound and video (shows how overpriced CD's still are).

No they don't, but concert DVD's are taped, and not recorded on film like movies, so the video quality is really really poor when transfered over to DVD.

This is truely a musicians band, but try:
Dream Theater scenes from a memory, or live in Japan. These are Berkley school of music Honors grads and are amazing to see live. If you like Rush, Queensryche or any other progressive band, you'll enjoy this.
