Best Concert DVD

Now that I finally have a pre/pro (Krell Showcase)that does justice to music, I have been snapping up concert dvd's.

Now I'm looking for recommendations. Which concert dvd's do you find exceptionally well done in terms audio and video fidelity? Which ones were the best in terms of the artist's performance?

The Grateful Dead - "Downhill From Here" Excellent sound, although 2ch Stereo. Some consider these shows to be the last truly Rockin' Dead shows. The DVD is from the first and third nights of the '89 Alpine Valley run. A must have for any Deadhead & others who appreciate good tunes.........

Well many of my favs are already mentioned.----However in classical there happens to be the best version of Beethoven's 9th there ever was.---Ok, they're all good this is just a little bit better. Claudio Abbado's version on DVD !!This has it all. Picture, sound, AND the performance; the soloists, the singers all top of the heap.I have about 8/10 recordings of this piece, to compare this, to.

I was never a fan of the BeeGees, but having said that "One night only" is a must see/listen.
I have to add Steely Dan's "Two against nature" to the list.
Treyhoss is right about laserdisc. Pink Floyd sounds geat as does Eagles Hell Freezes Over. I prefer the LD version to the DVD. The movie True Lies sounds better on lazerdisc than it does on DVD {analog anyone?}.
