recommend me some music dvds.
 

so i just picked up pavement's slow century dvd today and am loving it
spent the most part of the day watching thru it.

just wondering if there are any other good music dvds out there i should check out.

iv just noticed this is basically asking 'recommend me a good band... that also has a dvd out' but meh...

oh and the multi angle concert thing on the pavement dvd worked really well. its almost like revolutionary or something.
so any with those would be even better.

Fugazi- Instrument

Moog- documentary about Robert Moog, the inventor of the Moog synthesizer. It's really cool.

Pink Floyd- Live at Pompeii -really brilliant performance by the band prior to DSOTM. Echoes and Saucerful of Secrets are simply amazing

I love the slow century DVD.

I of course also love the exhaustive sonic youth corporate ghost DVD

I like the Beastie Boys collection double DVD.

We've had this thread but oh well. I reccomend:

harry partch - enclosure 7
all the residents dvd's are worth picking up
man or astroman dvd
jesus lizard live
fugazi - instrument
devil and daniel johnston
all the jandek dvd's

The 'Work Of Director' series are great music DVDs too, each comes with a little book of photos and interviews with the director and people they've worked with. Tons of great bonuses too. My favourite is the Spike Jonze DVD, as it comes with optional Beastie Boys commentary.

Einstuerzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch
Sigur Ros - Harvf - Heim
The Doors - Live at the Hollywood Bowl
The Orb - Patterns & Textures

WarpVision - The Videos 1989-2004
Hexstatic - Master-View

two of my all time favs off the top of my head are the butthole surfers "blind eye sees all" and the angry samoans "true documentary". those are just two top 20 bands of mine who i adore the entire aesthetics of. the buttholes it half amazing performance circa locust and half intrview with whole band getting high, drinking, smoking cigs, and eating junk food in bed together. the angry samoans has so much stuff that id never be able to see otherwise.

i really like the "people who make noise" dvd that came out last year about the portland experimental scene. Especially for the Smegma (another top 20, maybe 30) and Argumentix (no one is doing industrial noise punk like this anymore, awesome) sections.

the people who make noise dvd has the superhot kitty midwife in it, so I reccomend that as well.

i love meth

I second the Blind Eye Sees All
I have the original VHS and it rocked me for decades. now I have the DVD and I put it on "karaoke" mode where the words apopear below as gibby sings and some of the lyrics I neve understood scare me

Latest Joy Division DVD is awesome.

which is that thrasher?

It was just called "Joy Division" I think. Had the cover of unknown pleasures on it. The dvd is really not that old so I'm guessing it's the latest release. Got it for my birthday but I FUCKING LOST THE DVD... I'm gonna hate myself forever for losing it...

That "Eye" where they go to Stapleton's place is fantastic.

I also really enjoyed the Andreas Martin one, but that will likely appeal most to fingerstyle guitar aficionados...

i think thrasher is talking about the joy division documentary dvd. its probably the best music related film ive ever seen.

how is her music/nonmusic? can't find anything to listen to, and only 3 plays on last.fm

i can't find the actual movie either, i looked for it when there was a thread made about it awhile ago

This probably goes without saying, but you need This Is Spinal Tap in your life.

I can't stand this fucking shit.
I bought it for insane price and all it was full of was 4 bearded shy people walking out in the windy pastures and talking quitely to the camera plus some occasional song here and there.
Boring to death.

Paik - Magnesium Fire
77 Boadrum

Lightning Bolt - Power Of Salad & Milkshakes

It's great alright. When I got it I watched it 2 times in a row and watched it again the day after. Great dvd indeed.

This and The Rutles: All You Need is Cash.

Agreed.

A lot of them can be downloaded for free, can't they?



Where was the bit where OP said he was a multi-millionaire? :D

If you're into jazz, Charles Mingus: Triumph of the Underdog is a fascinating documentary.

The Eye series looks interesting. Thanks for the tip.

awesome Devo ones

The Complete Truth about Devolution

The Men Who Make the Music, out of print since 81, but got it from a torrent some time back

Cure - Trilogy

X - Live in Los Angeles

polysics - pippikippippip P! in usa is a great dvd

Not seen the Zazen Boys one,have you seen asp?.

I may have seen it. When was it made? Because I saw one from a few years back that mainly covered the first album/first EP and it showed the band playing live and recording in the studio. The part where they all do vocal harmonies together really blew me away.

That reminds me.. there are TONS of excellent Number Girl dvd's..

Guess it could be the one you've seen as it came out 2005, and the back cover has them sitting at a mixing desk..wouldn't mind giving that a watch.

Yeah, I've seen that one then, got it off some dude on slsk, watched it once and deleted it... but it is really really good. It was around an hour long I think. Worth a watch definitely.

Pixies: sell out. has the multi camera thing too
primus: Hallucino Genetics
dinosaur jr: live middle east
bob dylan: don't look back
acid mothers temple: hardcore uncle meat
