Okay guys, surprise discovery time!
I was randomly clicking around on Amazon when I stumbled on this review of a DVD set called, "Pure '80s: The Ultimate DVD Box":
Check out the track list:
Needless to say, I just bought one. Will post back here once I have it, but from other reviews that I've read (though none specifically pointed out anything else about the 5.1 mix), this should be a real treat.

REAL 5.1 remixes!
Can't believe nobody's mentioned yet that the songs on here are REAL 5.1 multi-channel remixes- none of that fake stuff where they just ran the 2-channel mix through a pro-logic decoder and turned the LFE track up all the way- this is the real deal! That's reason enough to get this, the videos are just a bonus on top of that! (There's also an uncompressed 2-channel PCM track for the purists.)
My only complaint is there should've been a LOT more videos on this 3-disc set- each one is single-sided and single-layer so there's barely 1 disc's worth of content here. And as has been mentioned, the "Headbangers" disc is mostly forgettable and obscure stuff (though the Scorpions' "Rock You Like A Hurriane" and Dio's "Holy Diver" sound great in multi-channel!)
