Snubbing Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii as "stupid" and omitting The Song Remains The Same automatically makes this whole list null & void.

…Shadows and Light by Joni Mitchell – but it's probably the same category as Songs Remain The Same…

I'd add "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "U2 3D" (which has some of the best 3D I've ever seen. Multiple times I almost yelled "Down in front" only to realize it was coming from the film itself)

Fantastic article but what about 'Total Balalaika Show'? And why does 'Woodstock not count as a great movie?

How is The Concert For Bangledesh not on this list. It's the best concert film ever as far as reason for existing, the musicians the play, the music they play etc.

Surprised to see you brush aside Pink Floyd's Pompeii as simply 'stupid.' Try taking it off Mute next time!

They're not called The Band because they're generic. Just, the name stuck from when they where the backing band of other frontmen and especially Dylan for his tours in 65, 66, and also for The Basement Tapes. Music From the Big Pink is considered a masterpiece, (#34 in Rolling Stone's 500 best albums). Learn your history before trying to be smart.

"Generic" and "always on the verge of stardom"? From 1968 to about 1977 The Band were one of the biggest, most popular rock groups in the world. They didn't play "roots rock"; that didn't even exist then.

2. Meredith Hunter did NOT try to rush the stage and get stopped by a Hell's Angel. He was a black man attending the festival with an attractive, blonde, white girlfriend, and he was being hassled by the Angels and other members of the audience. He brandished the gun during an argument and an Angel ran up and stabbed him multiple times in the back. At least attempt to show some respect for the dead and get that right, okay?

3. The Last Waltz concert happened in 1976. Raging Bull was in 1979 and released in 1980.

Great list! "Liza with a Z" is pretty good too.

Check out Marilyn Manson\’s Dead to the World, and Madonna\’s Truth or Dare. Both incredibly fun experiences.

The Grateful Dead movie! it has everything a rock film should have that paints a picture of who they were as a band for the 10plus yrs they\’d put in by 76\’ when it cam out…Rock n roll circus – classic british rockers stoned for days under the big top, using TV cameras of the circa: 1968. Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii & The Cure (SHOW) hard to explain how perfect these 2 films are in shaping the craft of live concert film camera work and editing, AND hard to explain how they didn\’t make the lists at all?

the fact dat Queen Live at Wembley was the best rock performance of all time history and the fact that the masterpiece of their work to move crowds and shouts like that are not in this list makes this a retarded topic.
