Deep Purple - Made in Japan
The Allman Bros - Fillmore East
Cheap Trick - Budokan
The Who - Leeds

Lotta good selections here -- the Last Waltz, Stop Making Sense, Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East, and many more.

Another is from an underappreciated and extremely talented group and vocalist, Roxy Music and Brian Ferry, who had a reunion concert covering the span of their great careers, Live at the Apollo in 2001. It is musical and visual perfection, with styles from glam-punk to hard rock to crooner sexy ballads.

I'll just give you one taste, the title song from Avalon, Roxy Music's last LP, so damn visual, so damn sexy, so damn haunting, so damn Yanick Étienne. . . .
