Any suggestions for a a new (or relatively new) concert DVD?.  I'm having a few friends over and I'd like to get something that they may not have heard.  Last year I did Mutemath "Armistice" and that was a hit, so I'm trying to raise the bar. 

Thanks in Advance,

Here's a quote from a post I made a few years ago on another site of my concert "best ofs"
(Still can't find a smaller image of the "Crossroads" DVD cover. Sorry about that)

===================================================


For me, I've come to love the following discs for their superb quality in not only musicality, but also visual perfection.

- Chris Botti - In Boston (Blu-ray)
Great audio. Nice treats to see the the various "special guest" musicians play with Chris.




- David Gilmour - Live at the Royal Albert Hall (Blu-ray)
Audio is great, the video is everything a Bluray should be.



- Pink Floyd in Concert - PULSE (DVD)
Very well done, all around.


 
- Diana Krall - Live in Paris (DVD)
Can't go wrong here. Well done in all respects.



I'd put the Blue Man Group - "AUDIO" up there pretty high as a DVD, but it's a DVD-A, so the video is more of a slide show.
Visually, it's not much to look at, but acoustically it's amazing from a multichannel standpoint.



Fun to watch, with good audio and video is the Harry Connick Jr. "Live on Broadway" DVD



My most recent purchase might just be my most prized concert/musical video.
If you're into Bluray and Blues, this one is a two disc treat with 40 songs.
The 2010 "Crossroads Guitar Festival". Great ausio and video both. Plus, it's just a lot of fun to watch.
Check out this playlist (sorry it's so huge, but I know most audio guys are old and have poor vision)


(I had to kill the link, it made the screen twice as wide and hard to read the text)

For my money it's damn hard to beat Mike Keneally's 'Bakin' At The Potato' and from the same recording session is Bryan Beller's 'Wednesday Night Live'  Stellar musicians, stellar playing, terrific sound quality.  But don't take my word for it.

And unlike your Claptons or Gilmours, these guys aren't in the uberstrata of musician earning despite being totally world class so when you buy their products you're actually supporting the musicians rather than all the managerial machinery surrounding them.

I've not watched the Bluray, but have seen the videos on Youtube. Looks like a great concert.


By the way....I killed the link to the image of the Crossroads DVD.
The picture was simply too wide and made you have to scroll the page horizontally to read.
