Music DVDs - VGF

Koga · 12-13-2005, 07:53 AM

These are what really got me into Queen, and I own quite a lot of their music DVDs, but recently I also started to collect DVDs of other bands. I think it's a great medium. I love to see live performances of my favourite songs by my favourite artists, especially if they're also remixed in 5.1 surround. Video collections are also nice, but here 5.1 is really a requirement in my opinion. Otherwise the audio is exactly the same as on a CD.

Here's my current collection:
Queen - Greatest Video Hits I
Queen - Greatest Video Hits II
Queen - Live At Wembley Stadium
Queen On Fire - Live At The Bowl
Queen - We Will Rock You (a 1981 concert in Montreal, not the musical)
Queen + - The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert
Queen + Paul Rodgers - Return Of The Champions
Queen - A Night At The Opera 30th Anniversary Collector's Edition
Supertramp - The Story So Far
The Police - Synchronicity Concert
Toto - Live In Amsterdam
Cat Stevens - Majikat Earth Tour 1976

And I have ordered the following, which should arrive soon:
Dire Straits - On The Night
Alan Parsons - Live In Madrid

"Weird Al" Yankovic - The Ultimate Video Collection
Shakira - Live and Off the Record Bonus Disc

That's all I've got at the moment, and I don't have a particularly long wish list, unless you count The Monkees Season 1.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**L007 is Undecided** · 12-13-2005, 10:05 PM

I saw at Sam Goody that they have Return of the Champiions on DVD for $20 - The same price as the CD. So I may get that soon.

Otherwise, I just have my Live at Wembley DVD.

Koga · 12-14-2005, 05:04 AM

ROTC is very nice, but it is nothing compared to the DVDs with Freddie Mercury and John Deacon on them. If I were you, I'd get Live At The Bowl before ROTC (unless you are a Paul Rodgers fan).

**L007 is Undecided** · 12-14-2005, 07:06 PM

I'm sorry, Koga, but despite his awesome bass playing, John creeps me out slightly, like in his short shorts during Wembley. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Koga · 12-15-2005, 04:42 AM

Haha. Well, he keeps his trousers on during Live At The Bowl. Queen were really a four-man act, more so than most of the other bands, as they all wrote songs all played instruments and all but John sang lead vocals.

Queen + Paul Rodgers is really half of Queen plus Paul Rodgers. Still great, especially live, but not a shadow of the band it used to be.

Bomby · 12-15-2005, 08:57 PM

Jay-Z - Streets Is Watching
Jay-Z - Fade to Black
OutKast Video Collection
Ice Cube - Greatest Hits: The Videos
Nas - Video Anthology, Vol. 1

Koga · 12-25-2005, 05:25 AM

I always forget to list my Live Aid 4 DVD set.

The Dire Straits and Alan Parsons DVDs have also arrived. Both are a bit bare, with no extras and no surround sound, but they're the only live DVDs of those artists around.

**L007 is Undecided** · 12-25-2005, 10:10 PM

Depending on what may happen, I may end up getting Return of the Champions.

Oh, I got Journey Escape Live at Houstan. Pretty sweet.

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-15-2006, 09:42 PM

I just got The Polyphonic Spree's "The Adventure of Listening" free with Together We're Heavy.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Koga · 01-16-2006, 05:40 AM

I got 2 new ones recently.

Michael Jackson - Live In Buccharest: The Dangerous Tour
Billy Joel - The Ultimate Collection

Koga · 02-07-2006, 04:24 PM

I got another one today. Deep Purple - Live in Concert 1972/73. An really good concert with the classic Mark II lineup, and an amazing performance of one of my favourite songs of all time: Child In Time.

Tacitblade · 02-19-2006, 09:16 PM

I think They Might Be Giants' Venue Songs counts? I love those songs.

**Platinum** · 02-19-2006, 09:32 PM

Linkin Park-- Live in Texas

ShyGuy727 · 02-19-2006, 09:52 PM

Koga · 03-21-2006, 08:50 AM

I got a new DVD yesterday. The making of A Night At The Opera from the classic album series. It's a great DVD with in depth analyses of the songs, live riffs by Brian May, a drum lesson by Roger Taylor, and some of the backing tracks and vocals can be heard in isolation.

Koga · 04-13-2006, 06:30 AM

I got Led Zeppelin - DVD yesterday. I've only seen the first concert so far, but that was already very good.

Vinny · 04-13-2006, 06:28 PM

Right now I only have the 1970 Isle of Wight festival. I'd like a few more DVDs but I don't really have that much money availiable nowadays.

**Dylan** · 04-14-2006, 01:13 AM

AC/DC- Live At Donington
AC/DC- Family Jewels
AC/DC- Back In Black Dualdisc
Alien Ant Farm- Aliens Ain't Farmers
The Beatles- A Hard Day's Night
The Beatles- From Liverpool To San Francisco
Green Day- International Supervideos!
Green Day- Bullet In A Bible

Currently on my wishlist:
AC/DC- Let There Be Rock (Not on DVD yet, but I could definitely see it in the near future.)
AC/DC- Stiff Upper Lip Live
The Beatles- Let It Be (See Let There Be Rock.)
Pink Floyd The Wall (Yes, that definitely counts. Shut up.)
