Recommended music/concert releases not available on Blu-ray

What are some concert or music releases that are not available on Blu-ray that you would recommend?

[slimdude]

There are many concert DVDs available to choose from. It depends on your personal favorite artist, and the genre of music you prefer. Other people's choice of music, may not be appeal to you, or you just don't like that particular artist.

On the DVD-Audio / Dual-disc side, I highly recommend the Talking Heads "Brick" box-set. Absolutely amazing set and a must have. Unfortunately, it is OOP and goes for a hefty price now.

Also, if you are a Beatles fan, I also highly recommend the DVD disc of the Beatles LOVE music in 5.1. Another must-have IMO.

Finally, another easy recommendation is "Queen: Greatest Video Hits" DVD, which has two DVD discs full of Queen music videos in 5.1.

What exactly is your taste in music, as we can help more knowing what you like. There are a lot of great concerts and music releases that have not been given the Blu-ray stamp of approval yet . The Paul McCartney you have listed above should be a great one .

With that caveat well said. Some artists/groups might have a single concert type release but it is not recommended or have multiple with one or only some that are worthwhile. Or an otherwise quality DVD only release that is largely redundant or surpassed by a different title available for them either on DVD or Blu-ray. The shared research and knowledge of the community recommending titles only available on DVD might make for a useful discussion.

I could try to update the first post from time to time to compile mentioned releases and aid in browsing to discover titles not on Blu-ray that might appeal to those reading the thread.

Myself, I know trying to discover concert/music type releases that are on DVD but not Blu-ray can be time consuming and cumbersome using something like Discogs.com (search #1 / search #2) or various Amazon searches (search #1, search #2, search #3). Personally, I find those to be both overwhelming and yet still difficult to tell which release might be worthwhile.

I have been using this search at FilmAf.com as a starting point and then trying to figure out from there what might be notable.

My mistake in not doing a good job articulating this in the first post. Though I am very much interested in discovering mentioned releases in this thread for myself personally, I was also hoping for the thread to serve as a discussion and recommendation thread in general for anyone browsing.

I am new to discovering concert releases on Blu-ray and that has lead to realizing that there are likely some very good releases on DVD only. I have found the process trying to find them tedious though. That sparked the idea that perhaps others would find this discussion beneficial also.

I don't know you, but everyone should love Thin Lizzy. No blu rays from them as far as I know. Also there's some great DVDs of Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest show. The ones with Doc Watson and Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee are musts for folk and blues fans.

U2 : Live in Boston, is awesome!

[jon angell]

there are ( I think ) only 2 blurays from Emerson Lake & Palmer
and the one I love is Beyond The Beginning ( it is now OOP ) on DVD

It's pretty uncommon for me to say that. Other than a few people here, I feel like I'm from another planet, in regards to musical taste.
Cheers Bro!

Some of these are not my favorite's, but other's may enjoy .

Are any of the DVD titles not released on Blu-ray from Dave Matthews Band, Led Zeppelin or U2 worth picking up over, or in addition to, the ones available from them on Blu-ray?

as far as U2 goes, most dvds are superior compared to what's available on blu ray. (apart from Rattle & Hum!)
Setlists and performances on many of the dvds are really good. Production wise though, it's a bit of a hit and miss. Source material/mixing etc is not always up to par. I would pick up these, though:

*Red Rocks - the moment they became huge
*Paris 1987 (only on the Joshua Tree box I believe?). Great to have this era in colours
* Boston 2000 (4:3 format, but still a good watch)
*Chicago 2005

Sydney 94 could have been so much more, but I find both the audio and picture to be very substandard. Mexico 97 I never bother with, as I'm no fan of this era at all. But again; the production is far from impressive, especially considering that it's a fairly new show

The coveted Led Zeppelin: Two Disc Special Edition/The Song Remain's The Same is a great DVD copy to own. Disc One is the movie......Disc two is the Extra's. It's Dolby 5.1/DTS 5.1 and Dolby 2.0 stereo. A worthy DVD purchase. I know nothing about U2 DVD's, but there is one Blu-ray release that's pretty good: U2- 360 degree's At The Rose Bowl is one to own .
