I'd love a DVD of the 1976 Boston Pops 4th of July concert. I remember watching it on TV during the Bicentennial celebration.

 

[Todd Stout]

I'd like to see:
The US Festival (I know the 1983 show was videotaped)
Moscow Music Peace Festival
Iron Maiden - Live After Death
Megadeth - Rusted Pieces (or better yet, a music video compilation that includes all of their videos)
Stryper - Live in Japan
Motley Crue - Uncensored
Dokken - Unchain the Night

It would be nice to see all encompassing music video compilations from:
LA Guns
Ratt
Lita Ford (with the Mercury era videos)

And the film:
The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years

Hello all---

Add the only official concert release by Crowded House, FAREWELL TO THE WORLD, to the list. The VHS release [mostly PAL format, though a very small amount of NTSC copies were made] included clips of interviews and pre-show rehearsals, but did NOT [!?!] include the complete final concert by this amazing band. The show was filmed before an audience of about 200,000 people at the steps of the Sydney Opera House.

Better yet, there has GOT to be some unreleased live footage of their other performances. As good as FAREWELL is, it's not really representative of a typical CH show in that there is very little between-song chatter and almost no busking or unexpected moments of brilliance. [Granted, those things aren't really appropriate for a final show.] Their concerts usually included some classic moments of band-crowd interaction and humor, some wild jams, odd cover tunes or unreleased songs.

I also enthusiastically agree about pushing up the release date for the Brian Wilson SMiLE DVD to "as soon as is possible without negatively impacting the quality of the DVD!" For those who are scratching their heads, SMiLE is the title of the legendary unreleased Beach Boys album. The album was never completed due to a variety of reasons [drugs, pressure from the record label and bandmates, and just about anything else you can think of], though several of its songs were released on subsequent albums ["Good Vibrations," "Heroes and Villains," "Surf's Up," etc.]. After decades of refusing to discuss---let alone perform---the album, former Beach Boys composer/producer/singer and his incredible new band [featuring members of The Wondermints] are currently touring and performing a reconstructed version of SMiLE. Some of the shows have been filmed and recorded for release, hopefully later this year. You can read a VERY detailed review of a recent show here:

I'm on board for the SIGN 'O' THE TIMES concert video, too. A classic from the days when Prince was making the best pop music around. I'd also buy a concert release from the LOVESEXY tour if anything exists in the Purple One's archives.

SEMI-RELATED PLUG: If you're a fan of classic pop music made by bands like The Beatles and Squeeze, do yourself a favor and check out Crowded House. Start with the best of collection, RECURRING DREAM, but I'd also recommend their two best albums, TEMPLE OF LOW MEN and TOGETHER ALONE. There is a LOT more to this band that their two US hits, "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong," both from their debut album. Their subsequent releases saw artistic growth in leaps and bounds.

Regards,
matt

Anything from Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana would be nice. Also a live Beastie Boys DVD couldn't hurt.

 

[MarkHastings]

Everytime one of these threads comes up, this is the one I mention.

Being from CT, I love when Sammy sings "I can't drive 55": - It took me 16 hours, to get to New Haven yesterday!!!!!"

 

[JohnTRU]

Not sure about other regions

 

[Byron_T]

There was talk at one time that Tool would put out a DVD with footage from the last four shows of their 2002 fall tour. I would love to see this come about. It would at least give me a good fix until their next album.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Actually, I think the debut album is the best place for newbies to start. It's their most accessible work and contains nary a dud...

 

[Robb H H]

I'll add another vote for Iron Maiden Live After Death !

 

[RobertM.Fleming]

Lou Reed - The New York Album
Pulp - The Park Is Mine


Something Velvet Underground would be pretty sweet too. I belive there was a video made for the reunion tour.

and who else here thinks that Austin City Limits needs to start releasing its concerts on DVD. They have a plethora of outstanding concerts in there library. And the HBO Reverb concert series should see the light of day too.

 

[John Kilduff]

If Chuck L can mention Expose', I have to toss my hat into the ring and give a nod to Samantha Fox.

I tell ya, she has a great pair of lungs in more ways than one, and a compilation of her music videos would kick.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Toss in that nude video she did in 1996 as well. BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNG!

 

[MatS]

John,

I didn't even think about Sam until you mentioned her. That would be a great comp. as well. After all, "naughty girls need love too..."

(Let's just totally go 80's retro and say Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam as well!)
