DVDs - Sugiro...

Gosto de assistir a concertos, até em casa. Proponho vários, alguns deles intemporais e que poderão figurar nas nossas coleções caseiras de música ao vivo...



 


<b>Nirvana, ‘MTV Unplugged In New York’.</b> <i>Recorded Nov 1993.</i> This live performance at NYC’s Sony Music Studio wasn’t actually released on DVD until 2007. It was worth the wait, though - packed with extra material, including originally unreleased live versions of ‘Something In The Way’ and ‘Oh Me’.

<b>Radiohead, ‘Meeting People Is Easy’.</b> <i>Recorded 1997.</i> Yes, it’s whiny and relentlessly downbeat, but there’s something about the sombre mood and fast-cut cinematography that makes it a perfect accompaniment to ‘OK Computer’.

<b>The Rolling Stones, ‘Gimme Shelter’.</b> <i>Recorded Dec 1969.</i> This one follows the band on the last weeks of their 1969 US tour, and was originally screened at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival. Fun fact: George Lucas was one of the camera operators at the Altamont Free Concert (which is included on this DVD).

<b>Oasis, 'Lord Don’t Slow Me Down'.</b> <i>Recorded May 2005-Mar 2006.</i> There’s some unique backstage access from their global tour, but the best parts are during the directors’ commentary. Noel and Liam’s verbal jousting is priceless. Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3lo3pg6" target="_blank">here</a> to buy the DVD.


 


<b>Muse, ‘HAARP’.</b> <i>Recorded June 2007.</i> A live DVD/CD combo, this was recorded at London’s Wembley Stadium for a crowd of about 180,000. Not too shabby. <i>NME</i> also ranked this one of the best live albums of all time. Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6dbxstb" target="_blank">here</a> to buy the DVD.


 


<b>Sigur Ros, ‘Heima’.</b> <i>Recorded 2006.</i> Not only does it take you to their big festival appearances and smaller-scale concerts, but there’s also footage of a small acoustic show for the band’s friends and family, live from a tiny coffee shop in Iceland. Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/3ksh7up" target="_blank">here</a> to buy the DVD.


 


<b>The White Stripes, ‘Under Blackpool Lights’.</b> <i>Recorded Jan 2004.</i> 26 songs recorded at The Empress Ballroom in Blackpool – including covers of Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton and Leadbelly. Apparently, Meg played a joke on director Dick Carruthers, switching the writing on Jack’s arm between songs. Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6c3cjgu" target="_blank">here</a> to buy the DVD.


 


<b>U2, ‘U2 360° at the Rose Bowl’.</b> <i>Recorded Oct 2009.</i> Remember that huge spider stage they built? You can see it in this live footage from the band’s Rose Bowl show in Pasadena, California. It was originally broadcast via YouTube – but you can watch it in better quality on this DVD.

<b>Blur, ‘No Distance Left To Run’.</b> <i>Recorded 2009.</i> OK, so it’s more of a documentary, but it’s got live footage, as well. It earned the band their first Grammy nomination (for “Best Long Form Music Video”). Click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/66lw2cj" target="_blank">here</a> to buy the DVD.


 


<b>Arcade Fire, ‘Miroir Noir’.</b> <i>Recorded Dec 2008.</i> The documentary about the making of their 2007 album ‘Neon Bible’ also includes footage shot by the band themselves while on tour. It was co-directed by Vincent Morisset (who also worked on the interactive ‘Neon Bible’ video).
