I recently bought a new tv and bluray player. What are some good concert videos out there? Any suggestions?

pretty much every band has a cocert disc out so start with your favorites

Ladies and Gentlemen. The Rolling Stones. Prime footage from '72.

There's also a fine Traffic DVD, Live in Santa Monica, that features the Low Spark line up from '72.

And check out Remember That Night by David Gilmour. Great show at the Royal Albert Hall from his solo tour in '06.

Joe Cocker - Mad dogs and englishmen
Chris / Rich Robinson - Brothers of a Feather

The Woodstock Movie from the original Woodstock is a classic - and a great flick. The last Waltz is real good if you like the Band and guests such as Neil Young. Feastival Express is another enjoyable GD related Video.

The Grateful Dead's Truckin Up to Buffalo is quite nostalgic for those of us who've attended shows in the mid 80's early 90's. Lot's of cool shots of Jerry / Bobby and the band. I must admit I've had it for years and I haven't watched the entire dvd, just a piece here and there when I need it. It may not be their best. I had an unopened copy of "the closing of winterland" that I understand is a very good GD movie. Perhaps one day my buddy who borrowed it 5 years ago may return it so I can share a review (Hey, one man gathers what another man spills).

I don't really recommend "the last tour" - it's a tribute to Jerry...you can stream it free if you have netflix, but IMO it's not as good as some of the other movies and certainly not really a feel good movies.

I assume you've seen the GD movie (which was recently re-released at least in theaters). If not that's a classic.

Talking Heads, Stop Making Sense.

Garcia at Shoreline. It was the concert he played when the Dead canceled their tour when Mydland died. Nothing flashy, just great playing.

Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii

absolutely f***ing amazing

Live at Pompeii is one of my favorites of all time!
