I enjoy a good concert movie, but until recently, I've had a narrow definition of a concert film. In my heart, I have always thought of a concert film as something released in movie theaters. But technology has made it possible to put that kind of quality together and bypass the older channels. This is important especially for fans of lesser-known bands, who could never have their concert films released for the movie-going public, and every band with a dedicated following now has concert DVDs (or digital downloads) available for its fans. So I'm loosening up my definition, although I don't really have the criteria in place yet. For example, should an MTV Unplugged video count as a concert movie?

What are some of the concert movies you most enjoyed? Here are some of mine.
- Rattle and Hum (U2) -- I saw this on opening night at Waikiki 1 or 2, and received a free poster. It was a fun show. I know a lot of people think it's a dumb movie, but I like it.
- The Song Remains the Same (Led Zep)
- Yessongs (Yes) -- one of my favorites. Such great music. and a great performance.
- The Last Waltz (The Band)
- Stop Making Sense (Talking Heads)
- Woodstock -- of course.
- The Concert for Bangladesh
- Iron Maiden: Flight 666 -- this is really more of a tour documentary, but songs at each stop are shown in their entirety, so I think it counts as a concert film.
