The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Used to watch them all the time. Youtube killed them.
I'd stay up late in junior high and high school watching old pj concerts on vhs.
The official releases always hit a sweet spot for me and ignited my concert imagination. Black keys one was great, stereophonics one i remember watching, 7 worlds collide, neil young....
I would also put them on the big screen tv at my parents house and run on the treadmill for the entirety.

The video that inspired this thread was this live stream of The Who in Brazil, which Spenno posted in the concerts thread
It got me thinking about how many "pro-shot" full concerts are on Youtube, and how -- by their very nature as live streams -- many of them are kind of crappy in how they're recorded and put together (very small crew, unmastered audio, slapdash or merely perfunctory editing). If the above video had been released as an official DVD in 2002, it would've been decried at lacking (unless you're Pearl Jam, whose Touring Band 2k was appealing in part because of how shoddy and unpolished it was). These live videos are bare-bones and lacking any sense of drama or artistry, just a plain, straightforward video document of a performance. But they are largely what has replaced those official live video releases.
I dunno. I don't really have a point here. I'm a little stoned and just thinking about DVDs.

I would still welcome a live concert dvd with added flare. Its great to be able to watch some pretty incredible performances that are proshot in such a way, but what makes a lot of the great concert documentaries special are the behind the scenes and storytelling added to it.
Honestly, thats why I enjoyed the lets play two documentary. THere are a million full PJ shows on youtube and this was able to stand on it's own.
R.E.M., Road Movie Nine Inch Nails, And All That Could Have Been (I also watched the fuck out of my VHS set of Closure back in the day) The Cure, Trilogy U2, Zoo TV Live From Sydney Depeche Mode, Devotional

Immagine in Cornice is the perfect example of this. More added flair than a waitress in Office Space. Love it.

But also, I went to see Tim Pope's The Cure Anniversary live show at the movie theater last year, and as fun as it was to see those performances on the big screen, it was also a somewhat deflating experience. It really just feel like a blown-up Youtube video.
the last waltz and stop making sense are both in regular rotation on my phone. i'm another one who makes the family listen to "the last waltz" on thanksgiving.
I really enjoyed Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers High Grass Dogs from them touring just before they released Echo, and Neil Young’s DVD at Red Rocks which just feels like a dude playing in a bar loudly with his friends.
