Oh, man, how could I forget - Metallica S&M...maybe their last good effort.

Hmm... you and I have divergent opinions on Metallica... unless S&M is also an alternate title for ...And Justice For All...




Heheh, reminds me of the old anecdote about an exchange between two music enthusiasts:

Music Fan: God, you're so self-centered! I bet the Replacements' last decent album was named after you!

Rock Snob: But my name's not Tim!

Probably not, AJFA is my favorite Metallica album. S&M only works so well because of the songs they played from ..And Justice For All - back...and maybe 1 or two other tunes.

AC/DC- Live at Donington
Blue Man Group- Complex Tour

These are two of my favs as well. They both make wonderful use of discrete 5.1 channel. i.e. On the AC/DC disc, Malcolm comes from left speaker, Brian from the center, and Angus from the right. On the Blue Man, the center is dedicated to just the percussion of the Blue Men with the rest of the band coming from the left and right. But on both discs it all blends very well.

Good picks so far, if a little prog and indie heavy, so I will add some that don't appear and would be unlikely to appear.

I get much more eclectic with concert DVD and will pick up a concert DVD for and artist that I don't even have a CD or record for. One of those is Shakira: Live and Of the Record. I got this on a whim. I'd generally liked what I heard of Shakira on the radio, but then while we were recently in Mexico, a cab driver played a whole mix CD during an hour long drive. It was the whip. This show is big and full of spectacle. The mix is great and the band is tight.


Gwen Stefani: Harijuku Lovers Live. Another big show full of spectacle, as far as I'm concerned Stefani can do no wrong, either solo or with No Doubt. Been a long time fan and I always look forward to new material. She strikes me a chick whose probabably got a super rad record collection.


Here is a more intimate show that is on of my all time favorites: Social Distortion: Live in Orange County. I am an admitted fanboy and sure it is not the classic line up, but what a great DVD. The rhythm section is just sick.
