Better off not being seen

I enjoy music DVD's and if they're well recorded, find them the most realistic form of music reproduction. That being said, I recently come across some dreadful DVD's that might be enough to sway anyone off the concept if they were the first ones they saw. My take -

Diana Krall - Live in Paris - my first exposure to her. Assumedly my last. I trust the CD's are better, or else I don't understand the attraction.

Eagles - Farewell Tour. As good as the first DVD was, this one should be called "Once more without any effort". Yes the production is excellent, but the performance is like sleepwalking, and Joe Walsh unfortunately makes a complete buffoon of himself, with Don Henley as smarmy as ever. Yuck. For absolute diehard fans ONLY.

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance - Great production, but Stevie Nicks and her one-octave, fingernails-on-the-blackboard voice makes the off button the only safe place on the remote. The quicker the better.

Any other DVD's to avoid like the plague before I invest $25?

Speaking of Eagles, there was a Don Henley concert that was so bad we cried. Not only did he phone it in, he used a tin can to do so! We shut off after 2 songs.
Thankfully I have forgotten the name of that miscreation.

Also have to admit I shut off Coldplay's concert after about 5 minutes. That camerawork was suitable for a kindergarten project, no more.

OTOH, Peter Gabriel's Secret World, wow. Now THAT's the way to put on a show.

Forgot to mention, speaking of the Krall... try watching her in DeLovely. OMG, what a fright!
