The best music DVDs

[Mr Badguy]

Did anyone get any DVD for Chrimbo?

I did.

I`m starting to get anice little collection now.

I think it is a good idea for anyone who gets DVD to tell others what they are like, seeing as it is a very new medium.

A good one that I got was Kiss "Kiss my ass", which I think was out on video before.

It is a must for any kiss fan as it contains a load of archive footage featuring the original band from the 70`s.

I had to get it when I saw it advertised.

Fuck it must have been a "Kiss" Christmas. I got "Kiss Symphony". I thought the Audio track could have been a bit better, video editing was a bit over the top, (crowd shots every few seconds). But I really enjoyed it. The only other crticism is that Ace Frehley was absent. But if you like Kiss, this would make a very worthy addition to the DVD collection.
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (led by David Campbell) actually did a great job. (All in Kiss Makeup) An example of how to do it properly as opposed to that shitty S&M effort of Metallica's where the orchestra drowned and killed the songs.
With the exception of maybe two songs the MSO complimented the band. They actually play three sets, one with just the band, then a kind of unplugged set with some minimal backing, then the finale with the full orchestra.

You watch these kiss fuckers (who would have to be older than VH), and it makes you realize what could and should be. (Even if they are money hungry fucks) What the hell, I enjoy the Rock and Roll side of it.

I also got "Live and Loud" from Ozzy but its a really old DVD, no 5.1 audio and its in 4:3 format. I have to squish Ozzy a bit to fit him on my 16:9 projector screen. Ignoring all that it was a good show. I thought Zakk did a reasonbly good job with the Randy stuff too. Not note perfect, but had a similar feel to the original solos.

I got Ted Nugent's new DVD and Dio's new DVD. Both quite good and filmed recently. The Nugent DVD has everything you could possibly want on here. Even an old music video for Journey to the Center of the Mind. He really opened the vaults for this one. I recommend both of them.

You dudes need to get the new Triumph DVD, "Live at the US Festival '83"....

Awesome....

[Troy]

Queen's new Wembly '86 2DVD set is awesome.

[Mr Badguy]

I`ve got Queensryche`s "Operation:Livecrime" and I highly recommend it.

It`s basically the video remastered into 5:1 digital sound.

It has a few real good extras:
1)The libretto that originally came with the box set is contained within the DVD and you can play the corresponding songs along with the story.
2)New interviews with Geoff Tate, covering the beginnings of Queensryche and explaining the evolution and recording of "Operation:Mindcrime".
3)Two live bonus tracks, "Roads to madness" and "The lady wore black", in 5:1 although strangely they are audio only tracks.
4)An excellent discography.

If you have the video, I suggest you replace it with this.

"Live evolution" is also excellent.

I like my Zeppelin DVD. I also heard some good stuff about Rush In Rio.

[Mr Badguy]

"Rush in rio" is really good.

A lot ( but nowhere near all ) of their best songs, a good documentary and the multi-angle stuff is interesting.

Neal peart`s drum solo has to be seen to be believed.

Great to hear "Cygnus X-1", although they only play half of it.

Another GRATE music DVD is Journey's GREATEST HITS 1978 - 1997. I bought Susie it for Christmas.

"Live evolution" is also excellent.

I downloaded it which I feel a bit guilty about.

I just assumed you wouldn't be able to buy it in the UK??

Cheers!
