Just watched The Last Waltz. What's your fav concert film?

[DrZeeLit]

I remember playing The Band on 8 track.
Yeah, I am old. I don't remember ever seeing this film, but I just might have. I admit... we all inhaled. And more.

Anyway... that led me to think (ooh, a bad sign).. .what other good concert films have I missed?

I do have the Springsteen concerts -- great, but can't beat Bruce live.

However... list on!

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

1. Woodstock.

[Bonhomme Richard]

2. You just watched it. n/t

[swag]

3. That's a good one.

Scorsese's hard to beat. I really liked "The Weight" studio sequence with the Staples in that fillum.

[otohara]

4. Rolling Stones @ IMAX

that was the only time I ever really saw the Stones, went to many concerts of theirs - this was by far the best

[JimmyJazz]

5. The Kids are Alright

[gmoney]

6. X - The Unheard Music

Most entertaining music movie ever (not strictly a concert film... more like a documentary).

[swag]

10. I'm so pleased that there is such good footage of X.

I still prize my Betamax copy of "The Decline of Western Civilization" by Penelope Spheeris, also not a concert film per se.

[Tikki]

19. Also, catch early footage of X in....

performance on film in the movie..."Urgh A Music War".

[Rjnerd]

7. Tout le Matins du Monde

All the mornings of the world. Not quite a concert film, but all about the music. The simulated playing by the male lead was badly done, but...

[Rjnerd]

9. In second place

This Is Spinal Tap.

Couldn't stop laughing...

[swag]

8. Talking Heads' "Stop Making Sense," Laurie Anderson's "Home of the Brave"

but I have wondered since these emerged if they were too much of their time.

I don't think so. I think both hold up, and are valent still.

11. The Last Waltz...

is my favorite concert film. I saw it in the theater when it came out, watched it about 20 times on HBO and own the DVD. I'm thinking that after I see the Vote For Change concert and documentary on Sundance this Saturday, I may have a new favorite. (I was at the finale in DC and it was amazing.)

[DrZeeLit]

17. Ooooh, I have concert envy. I watched on live feed... wow...

you are so lucky!
The energy seemed unreal.

Great!

I hope we get a chance to buy a dvd including conocert and documentary.




Kerry On!

12. The Kids Are Alright

[swag]

13. Massive personal touchstone for me, that one

Saw it several times at the Wilma Theatre in Missoula, MT in 1979.

Still watch it today, repeatedly.

Love "The Kids Are Alright."

[flamingyouth]

14. I used to see it at the Aurora Cinemas

It was often the midnight movie. Then they would play it at the Neptune on occasion, sometimes paired with Quadrophenia, if I was lucky. :D

[JimmyJazz]

16. i can recite scenes from that movie the way some people

do "Rocky Horror Picture Show" - Brandy on eht 'eel, brandy on the 'eel...

[Paul Hood]

27. You've been together for a decade

you haven't yet decayed.

[edbermac]

15. Stop Making Sense...and whatever happened to Let It Be?

Great music but all the infighting amongst the Beatles during the film has probably lead them and their representatives to suppress it...

[indigobusiness]

18. Concert for Bangladesh

Last Waltz wasn't bad. Van Morrison splitting his seams was worth the price of admission.

[greendog]

20. Home Of The Brave.....

......by Laurie Anderson

[Kire]

21. Britney Spears - Live at Las Vegas

NOT! The Last Waltz, I'd say.

[indigobusiness]

23. I'm waiting for "Britney Spears -Not Live at Las Vegas"

I would vote for that.

[Socialist Dem]

22. If they'd ever

put out "The Wall", that'd have to be it.

otherwise, it is "In the Flesh - Live"

[Red State Rebel]

24. George Harrison Tribute Concert

I loved it, his son looked so much like him when he was younger it made me want to cry. Just hearing all of the old songs reminded me of growing up with that music - very nostalgic.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

25. Yes, "The Concert for George." I can't believe I forgot that! I did cry!
