Now I have my HT up to speed with the inclusion of the DVD5 I'm looking for some more top quality music dvd's

I rate very highly:

Hell Freezes Over The Eagles
Growing Up Peter Gabriel
Jarre in China

Can anyone suggest others with the same quality and engineering.

Here's our list.....

U2 - Go Home: Live From Slane Castle [2001], Rattle and Hum [1988] and Vertigo [2005] - Live From Chicago....old/new and some of the best they've done!!

Portishead - PNYC - Live At The Roseland Theatre [1998]

Massive Attack - Massive Attack [2001]

Paul Simon - Graceland - The African Concert [2003]

Dido - Live At Brixton Academy [2004]

R.E.M. - In View - The Best Of R.E.M. 1988-2003

Amadeus -- Director's Cut 2-Disc Special Edition [1985] Ok, so it's a movie but I think it counts....
Then so would these.... The Doors, Moulin Rouge, The Phantom Of The Opera and Chicago....(told you it was OUR list... )

James - Getting Away With It...Live [2001]

Coldplay - Live 2003

Norah Jones - Live In New Orleans [2003]

Orbital - The Altogether

Morcheeba - From Brixton To Beijing [2002]

David Gray Live

The Chemical Brothers: Singles 93-03

Faithless - Forever Faithless

Jamiroquai - Live In Verona [2002]

Pink Floyd - the Wall

Moby - Play, and 18 (DVD+B sides)

Phew!! More than I thought then.....
Highlights/most played would have to be...any of the U2 ones, Paul Simon and James.....

Well, you did ask.......

Cheers,
Ali

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
REM - Perfect Square
Julia Fordham - That's Live
Depeche Mode - One Night in Paris

Fantastic.

Looks like my credit card is going to get a hammering.

Then there's also the 'oh for fucks sake it's delayed yet again' Pulse - Pink Floyd......due out later this year, we hope!!

DellBoyOne,

I use the digital output from the DVD5 into a Benchmark DAC1 - bloody brilliant to my ears. As a result I've spent effort on tracking down DVDs with PCM stereo soundtracks.

The DVD5 is pretty good at CD as it stands - it is worth doing the comparison between compressed soundtracks, such as DD & DTS, and PCM.

Martin

Roger Waters > In The Flesh - Live.

Peter Gabriel > Play the videos (Fantastic new surround mixes that have been done perfectly, wait till you see the colour range available on your screen with 'shaking the tree', truly remarkable)
These are 'must haves' in any collection.

I've just added

R.E.M. - In View - The Best Of R.E.M. 1988-2003

to my highly rated list.

The dts sound engineering is just first rate!!!

Keep the suggestions coming.

Three of more of the acoustic variety

Suzanne Vega - Live at Montreau

and (the best live music DVDs availble IMHO)

James Taylor - Pull over
James Taylor - Live at the Beacon theatre

The sound recording on the JT disks is simply stunning (great 5.1 recordings also). His guitar actually sounds something like an acoustic guitar, not like the Eagles live set which I have heard in many demo rooms as being the best music dvd on offer. (Horrible Pize pickups)
