Best concert surround recording?

[Quad grant me serenity]

Hi, folks! Just want to pick your collective brain. What do you consider to be the best live/concert recording in 5.1 or 4.0? Does not need to be an audio release, video/DVD works fine for me.

all the best/serenity now

Hands down for me - Porcupine Tree's Arriving Somewhere..., first released on DVD and later on Bluray and CD. Drums and base on this is out of the world good.

 

[sjcorne]

Steven Wilson - Home Invasion: Live At The Royal Albert Hall
Loggins & Messina - Sittin' In Again: Live At The Santa Barbara Bowl
Eagles - Farewell I Tour: Live From Melbourne
Pineapple Thief - Nothing But The Truth
Big Big Train - Empire

 

[IMachine]

Steely Dan - Two against nature!!!

 

[JimHansonDC]

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

The mic work on Gavin Harrison's drums sounds better than the studio version
and the whole show is properly immersive

 

[privateuniverse]

Roy Orbison - Black & White Night (Make sure to get the original version with the Elliot Scheiner mix)
Pink Floyd - At Pompeii (version found in the Early Years and Obfusc/ation sets)

The following titles are all mixed by Elliot Scheiner and are quite nice:

Eagles - Farewell Tour
Eagles - Hell Freezes Over
Fleetwood Mac - The Dance
Electric Light Orchestra - Zoom Tour

Thanks, all of you! Keep ‘em coming! Gonna listen to all.

I think the Allman Brothers Band Live At Fillmore East is really good, only the DTS version.

Steely Dan - Two against nature!!!

I forgot about this one as a live concert Had to look it up...

Steely Dan – Two Against Nature (2000, DVD)

My latest ear worm. Great audio:

Lee Ritenour - Overtime (2011) BDV (5.1 DTS-HDMA)

Preview on YouTube is just a taster: You have to see this in HD and listen to 5.1 DTS-HDMA

Two of the better ones in my collection, Tull from 2003 and B.B. from 1993, both in Montreux.

Cannot go wrong generally with the Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson live bluray options.

The Roy Orbison Black and White Night bluray certainly is awesome.

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense, of course. David Byrne's American Utopia.

I personally like a range of live blurays but many underutilise the surrounds... eg. The Cure - Curation; Cold Chisel - The Live Tapes Volume 1; Midnight Oil - Armistice Day. That Sepultura one is interesting.

This is sending me back to the recordings... so many greats. Check the polls as well?

RPWL - A New Down (5.1 and Atmos)

 

[Beefalo]

A nice aggressive live surround mix for an excellent price:

KRAFTWERK // Minimum - Maximum (LIVE 2004) [DVD, VG] | eBay

KRAFTWERK // Minimum - Maximum (LIVE 2004).

[Scott M4]

The Kraftwerk is excellent but hard to get now - so grab that eBay copy!
Roy O’s B&W Nights is also great.
Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense has two different surround mixes!
Schiller concerts have very enjoyable surround mixes.

Really a very good discrete surround mix of a live concert. Not only ambience on the rears, but much of discrete sounds there!
I confirm that the audio quality is gorgeous

Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize

And, if you fully crank this title up, it will ROCK your walls. I mean that.....it's an experience to behold.

Pink Floyd - At Pompeii (version found in the Early Years and Obfusc/ation sets)

Electric Light Orchestra - Zoom Tour

Hell yes! Zoom Tour and The Dance. Old school, but a total blast. Just super....

The Guess Who "Live at the Paramount", could have, should have been the best concert surround recording. "The Best Of The Guess Who: Volume II" contains a quad mix of "Runnin' Back To Saskatoon". It's more of an on stage type mix rather than an in the audience mix and sounds fantastic! Wouldn't it be great if if the entire album had been done but just hadn't got released!

Sadly I think that to be unlikely as all/most tracks on that best of volume II were remixed separately and differently than the original quads.

I would like to add two with IMHO impressive discrete surround mix:

Scorpions.... Acoustica
Julieta Venegas...MTV Unplugged
