10 - Doo Wop 50 Another PBS production by TJ Lubinsky. Amazing how many groups have one or more surviving members. Vital for any self-respecting Doo Wop fan!


Bonus, ours does 11.
11- Carpenters Live at Budokan 1972. Karen & Richard at their prime. photo from Image Producer.com

A few:

Beatles ANTHOLOGY...what's surprising is that I can actually go back and watch the history lesson again and again; the 5.1 is merely icing on the cake, and great icing at that!

Miles--ANY DVD, including the bios that are out there.....

Stax/Volt Live In London: amazing document of this portion of their European tour (where is the Paris gig?), and how great the label and its musicians truly were.

The McCartney Years: Chock full of 5.1, tons of vids, a few alternate versions, etc. You can get lost in it, from the best to the worst (and there's plenty o' both!)

Peter Gabriel: Play/The Videos. And programmable too!

The Beatles/Rolling Stones on Ed Sullivan. Full-length episodes for both, how can ya go wrong?

Phillip Glass: 12 Parts. A journey through his life and music. Endlessly fascinating.

The !!!! Beat Box: A 1966/67 syndicated R&B music show. In some ways low rent--there wasn't a big crossover audiencefor a black-only program at the time, so production money was very tight--but many name acts did appear in between the regular backup cast doing this and that. The show tended to be seen only in the major markets, so a lot of us didn't get to view it back in the day. But it looks good, is in color, and just watching some legends do their thing makes this one essential.

Lennon Legend: John in 5.1, all his best known hits and misses, in vintage or newly created vids.

Most of my favorites are not 5.1 unfortunatly but they are discs i keep pulling out time and time again:

AC/DC - Family Jewels the early and later years 2 discs of prime rock varialble sound quality, horrible authoring though.
John Martyn - At the BBC - a perfect collection (as good as a greatest hits but live) not one bad tune.
The Pretty Things - SF Sorrow Live at Abbey Road , original a web cast but scrubbs up reasonably well, great playing from all concerned including David Gilmour (Also has some lip sync issues) again great music
The Small faces - British Invasion DVD - a documentary where you can select just the songs variable picture quality nothing recorded after 1968 but included teh whole BBC recording of Ogdens nut in colour worth the price of the DVD alone
Neil Young - Greendale the Movie, same surround mix as the DVDA but in DTS and with a mental story that only Bernard Shakey could direct
No-Man - Mixtaped, love both discs the live show and the documentary
David Glimour - Live in Gdansk much better performance than the Albert Hall show shame its only a highlights show really but the big box is pretty exhaustive
David Bowie - Love you till Tuesday - guilty pleasure picture quality and sound a bit variable but a great summation of the man before fame really took hold, and a great accompanyment to the DECCA David Bowie deluxe album.
Peter Gabriel - Play the videos stunning surround mix great music
Led Zeppelin - DVD say no more
