My kick over the last two years has been picking up music DVD’s. Nothing goes better with solo drinking than a live show from the comfort of a couch. Of everything I’ve seen so far I’ve come up with my top five. Please recommend some other good ones and list your own top five.
Secret Chiefs 3 – Live at the Great American Music Hall
Primus - Hallucino Genetics
Ministry - Sphinctour
King Crimson - Neal and Jack and Me
Faith No More - Live at the Brixton Academy/You Fat Bastards
It was tough after the top three. I had to pick out of about 5 or so to fill out the remaining 2.
I have the same KC DVD, great stuff. I’ve been ramping up on music DVDs myself. Here’s 5 from my own collection that I’d recommend:
New Order - 511
Siouxsie & The Banshees - Nocturne (Robert Smith lineup)
Talk Talk - Live At Montreux 1986
The Chameleons - Singing Rule Brittania (2 shows)
URGH! A Music War (Warner Archive sells a DVD-R now with all of the acts except Splodgenessabounds, great picture and sound)
Pantera 3,
either of the 2 Type O negative dvds,
the dvd that came w/the RHCP’s greatest hits
does spinal tap count since they DO play live shows?
uhm if not either kmfdm beat by beat or the beastie boys anthology…
there’s a hell of alot more i like but those are the ones i’ve probably watched the most (mostly from when i was younger)
And All That Could Have Been - NIN
Beside You In Time - NIN
Trilogy - The Cure
Festival - The Cure
ADIOS PUTA MADRES…not really…
I don’t really own many band dvds to be honest. I have a manson one laying around somewhere to, but it’s not much worth listing these days. Almost bought the ministry one, but ended up having a conscious. Schintour seems like it could be awesome, but i’ve never got around to owning, or even watching.
Prolly get laughed at but the Metallica S&M dvd is pretty nice. Especially when you can get rid of Metallica and just listen to the symphony.

Back when I was still in my hating-metallica phase, that was actually the only thing I liked. I remember when they played the entire thing on TV.

1002
Nice! I’d throw in a Nick Cave documentry as well.
Plus, The Chameleons “Resurrection” video"
David Bowie - Best of
Roy Orbison - Black and White Night
Beastie Boys - Video Anthology
Faith No More - Who Cares a Lot
Butthole Surfers - Blind Eye Sees All
Does Velvet Goldmine count?
Good call on Scratch. That movie made me want run out and buy a nice turntable to geek out on.
both were good… i thought this was just bands dvd’s. otherwise i’d say repo the gentic opera, rocky horror, hedwick and the angry inch, and probably a bunch more i am forgetting.
