Good DVD Concert?

I bought the U2 Live in Boston DVD awhile ago (when it first came out) and am impressed everytime I watch it.

Does anyone know of any similar DVD productions of single concerts (not compilations of many concerts or music videos) which are of such excellent quality? I bought the Yes: Symphonic Live concert DVD and was dissappointed in the lack of energy that I immediately put it on Ebay after I watched it. It makes me not even want to listen to my YES CD's.

I want something similar to the U2 DVD, high energy and emotion with excellent sound and video shots as well. Of course the music is important too! I like rock music (or otherwise upbeat stuff).

Thanks in advance.

I second the new Led Zeppelin DVD. Also:
Bonnie Raitt - "Road Tested" (unbelievable band and performance from Bonnie Raitt, produced by Don Was)
Peter Gabriel - "Secret World Live" (phenominal back-up/duet vocals by Paula Cole)
Bruce Springsteen - "Live in New York City"
Eric Clapton - "24 Nights" (with performances far superior to his latest DVD "One More Car, One More Rider")
Metallica - "S&M" with the San Francisco Symphony

These are all outstanding and "must haves" IMHO.

Santana-Supernatural Live, Eric Clapton & friends Live, new Led Zeppelin (must have). From a historical point Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps, Rod Stewart & Faces with Keith Richards, The Band the Last Waltz, Rolling Stones Gimme Shelter Eagles Hell Freezes Over. The best of the bunch is Santana & definitely the "compilation" of led zep material, several hours of material there. Good listening!
