Let me start by posing the question "What are the 10 Greatest Rock DVD's to date?" Please consider the following:
1. Performance
2. Audio and picture quality
3. Editing and camera work
4. Is the atmosphere captured? ( Does it give you goosebumps and are you part of that audience? )
5. Extra Features/Value for money.

This is not an easy task considering I run a video production business and I direct, do the camerawork and edit while my partner does the menus, audio and artwork layout. After much discussion and taking the 5 points into consideration this is our top 10 ( But they are not necessarily our Fav bands )
1. Whitesnake Live-In the Still of the Night
2. Anthrax- Music of Mass Destruction-Live in Chicago
3. Queensryche- Operation Livecrime ( Well done for it's time)
4. Red Hot Chilli Peppers-Live at Slane Castle
5. Aerosmith- You Gotta Move
6. Motley Crue- Carnival Of Sins
7. Scorpions-Acoustica-Live in Portugal
8. Collective Soul-Home with the Atlanta Youth Orchetsra
9. Metallica- S & M-Live in San Francisco with orchestra
10. Killswitch Engage- Set this World Ablaze

Other notable mentions are Incubus-Morning View Sessions, Kiss live in Melbourne with orchestra ( however the editing was too quick and did not allow you to focus on any particular thing ), Foo Fighters-Everywhere But Home, Thunder Live, Deep Purple California Jam in 74, Iron Maiden Rock in Rio, Greenday Live with a Bullet, AC/DC Stiff Upper Lip, Rage Against The Machine Live in Mexico- Have I missed any? I am sure i have.

RUSH In Rio gets my vote.

THis dvd is so great because it contains such variety:

1) All of their music videos (except Only Time Will Tell due to licensing). Contains the old classics plus two new songs.
2) Clips from previous concerts....including songs from the Heads or Tales tour which was Saga at their popularity height.
3) A Behind the Music Type Biography. Done in similar fashion to the VH1 Behind the Music show.

You get a lot on the DVD. Has the new and has the old. Great for those that would like to know more about them. And great for the old fans. All for about $15. They also have two dvds out that contain recent concert footage. The best one to start with is Silouette though.

Dream Theater's Live At Budokan is excellent...if you happen to like DT.

The Led Zeppelin DVD is my all-tiime favorite DVD, with the remastered and tweaked Pink Floyd "Live at Pompeii" coming in pretty close to that too.

ronbo is out here! Wow!

Here is a good one...Eric Johnson, Austin City Limits

Stones.
4 Flicks.

I'm agree for Whitesnake at position number one. I like also Rush R30

Anything by Queen, or The Who Boston 2002.

It has to be Dark Side of the Moon !!!

Seventh Key - Live in Atlanta. It just nudges out Journey-Live in Houston for me at the moment but I go back & forth.

AC/DC..LET THERE BE ROCK PARIS 1979
METALLICA-LIVE IN SAN DIEGO
DEEP PURPLE-LIVE DENMARK 1972 {MACHINE HEAD TOUR}
KISS- SYMPHONY
AEROSMITH-YOU GOTTA MOVE
MOTLEY CRUE-LEWD CRUED TATTOOED
DREAM THEATRE-LIVE AT BUDOKAN
PINK FLOYD-PULSE
LED ZEPPELIN-HOW THE WEST WAS WON
WHITESNAKE-STILL OF THE NIGHT


these are only what i think are the best

Gotthard - Made in Switzerland
