What's your favorite concert movie?

[TriStone 1724]

Miguelito's Van Morrison thread started with a clip from one of the greatest concert movies ever made, The Last Waltz.  It's too bad that more bands didn't/don't commission recordings of their shows with this level of quality.  What are some favorites of my fellow former shagsters/current Surlies?

Shamelessly boosting post count.

Tie between Stop Making Sense and this one...

 

[dcbc 14465]

Stop Making Sense for me.

[veritas aequitas 442]

The Song Remains the Same

It might the be the first concert movie I saw and is certainly the first that stood out and still seems to be epic.

[CTC2 2791]

Gimmie Shelter.  

[TexArcher 37761]

Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at Austin City Limits.

[Grandioso 2592]

I'm a Stop Making Sense guy.

The Last Waltz and Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii come next. I've seen the latter at least 25 times.

Some of my other favorites: Rattle and Hum, A Poem is a Naked Person, Woodstock (though they definitely needed to cut that movie down in time), Alice in Chains Unplugged, The Song Remains the Same, Heartworn Highways (not quite a concert movie though).

Queen Live at Wembley

The Band and Talking Heads are 1 and 2 for me.  I also had the VHS of SRV's Austin City Limits and wore that shit out.  I'm also partial to this one:

This one is right up there for me. I loved U2 when I was younger, and this movie captures them at what was arguably their peak.

Loved the AiC unplugged show, but watching Layne sing Nutshell while clearly circling the drain is still a gut punch to this day.  Such a waste.

Ziggy Stardust and it's not close.

Monterey Pop.

I know the most famous thing about that festival/movie is Jimi setting his guitar on fire, but Otis Redding and Booker T and the MGs stole that show.

I’d go with this, right after the Last Waltz. Madison Square shows, Muscle Shoals, Altamont. Pretty good time capsule, on top of the music 

[hobbs 243]

U2 Go Home is a pretty damn good one too.

[oSuJeff97 3435]

Stop Making Sense is the gold standard, IMO.

I also love Wilco's "Ashes of American Flags" because the opening portion was at Cain's, and I was present for my first Wilco show ever.  And the opening credits sound check version of "Ashes of American Flags" inter-cutting between them playing in an empty Cain's and the bus driving toward Tulsa is fantastic:

Probably right about Otis,  but Janis put on a pretty good act herself.
