I was at BB today looking for something in the rock or electronic genre to watch. I was looking at DVDs from Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Moby and a couple of others - but I didn't buy any of them because I got the feeling that none of them were widescreen.. Bad enough that Tool's DVD video compilation wasn't, that still bums me out.

Anyone know of any that are?

Oasis: Familiar to Millions is widescreen (16x9)

Queen: We Will Rock You is also 16x9

The Freddie MErcury Tribute concert was broadcast in 4x3, but the DVD release has been cropped to 16x9 by the director.

Kylie : Live in Sydney is 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. Not a bad disc either. Review at my website :)

Cranberries Beneath The Skin: Live in Paris is anamorphic

The only problem is that there are some annoying sync issues and the menus are horrific. Supposedly a remaster is underway.

Otherwise it's a killer 5.1 track

Sprigsteen live in NYC... Sting "All this Time" Party ate the Palace, Queen's jubilee concert..
If ya get Queen "We Will..." make sure you get the NEW remastered version! Older DVD is fullscreen and awful!
New transfer is superb!

Do you have to perform in Paris for it to be widescreen? I sense a trend here.:D
