Opeth - Damnation & Deliverance at the Shepherds Bush Empire.
Opeth - Live at the Roundhouse
Opeth - Royal Albert Hall.
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Dio - Holy Diver Live
B52's - With The Wild Crowd

I know that's a lot of Opeth :embarrassed:..but just shows what a fantastic live band they can be.
 
The Last Waltz

Those hippie festival ones are all pretty good.

Woodstock
Isle of Wight
Monterrey Pop
 
Venom - Live at The Hammersmith, 7th Date of Hell 1984
Motorhead - anything at all :grin:
Twisted Sister - Live at The Astoria 2004
anything from Johnny Cash, too
 
Not a "movie", technically - but for my money, one of THE best concert performances ever caught on tape:




Performance-wise, it's easily better than "Stop Making Sense".

The Cars - Live in Houston 1984 is pretty killer

Porcupine Tree: Arriving Somewhere

David Gilmour: The live BluRay from his "On an Island" tour.

Rush: The BluRay from their Time Machine Tour - although it's ironic in that new standards in video clarity happen with all band members rapidly approaching retirement age. Yow.

Thought Roger Waters's In the Flesh tour and concert film were a lot stronger.

MY wife saw them on that tour, though not at a venue in which the show was recorded. As far as In The Flesh, it has Roger waters in it, so I won't be watching.
 
Rust Never Sleeps and Secret World Live are fun. Shadows & Light is mostly great but suffers from a couple of interspersed non-concert footage, much like The Song Remains the Same, only not as bad. Still, it's Joni backed by Jaco, Metheny, Brecker, and Don Alias, playing songs from Hejira, so...

Most of the concert films I buy are classical and opera, these days.
