I am looking to buy some cool music DVDs but I really do not know what is out on DVD so if someone could guide me in the right direction, that would be great.  I like ELP, KC, Floyd, Eloy, Yes, and the sort.

I don't like ELP myself, but I believe they just released a DVD, I'm sure someone will provide you with the usefull information.

I like

Yes - Symphonic
DVD from their Magnification tour, recorded in Amsterdam, a great set, played with an Orchestra backing the band in a magistrale way. Really awsome, top songs: Ritual, Gates Of Delerium, Close To The Edge, Starship Trooper, and many more

You didn't mentioned them, but if you like Rush

Rush in Rio, a wonderfull concert, Rush plays songs from every era. Best song; YYZ, check out the audience participation, singing along with an instrumental, a very dynamic show

Also Recital For The Script from Marillion I find to be very good, but only for Marillion fans I suppose, If you like the Script album, you'll certainly enjoy that concert.

If your looking for a good Floyd DVD, go with Live at Pompeii, its better than any other of their dvd's because its the classic line up with, echoes, Saucerfull, Carefull with that axe, one of these days, and seamus, oh and set the controls.

these songs are 10x's better than anything they put on dvd during the 90's live tours like pulse.

Yes, and not only that, but the dvd has been upgraded with regard to earlier VHS versions. There's more on it. Very good!

My favorite DVD at the moment is the Yes Symphonic, but the Live Scenes from New York DVD is good, and so is the Opeth Lamentations DVD.

Agreed on Yes Symphonic but Keys to Ascension is AWFUL! The production on that DVD is jawdroppingly cheap and cheesey.

If you're a fan of Gentle Giant then "Giant on the Box" is an essential purchase.

Yes Symphonic is the way to go...

King Crimson's Eyes Wide Open is absolutely perfect if you even *remotely* appreciate their current-era material or their improv aspects...

Pain Of Salvation - BE Live is orgasmic

Arena's is great if you like 'em

If you like Threshold, their DVD couldn't be better.

The King Crimson CDs, Neal And Jack And Me and Eyes Wide Open, are both good, and really showcase the two different eras. The only problme is in NAJAM, there are some annoying effets that really mar the pictures up (and it at good spots when bruford is playin' it up). But still a good DVD nevertheless.

KC have a good DVD that contains two concerts, and Meet The Flower Kings is extraordinarily well done (but not everyone is into FK, so that depends). And if you like DT:

Live at Budokan!

Eh, these might not be helpful, but I, for one, always found them to be a great viewing.

Live at Budokan by Dream Theater,

and Live in America / Live in Europe by Transatlantic.

 I'm normally quite picky when buying DVD's in so much that they must be either 5.1 or DTS. That unfortuneatly ruled out 'Recital of the Script', 'Yessongs' & 'Scenes from a Memory' DVD's. I would recommend the 'Transatlantic' & Yes 'Symphonic' DVD's for both performance & sound. However, the Led Zep DVD is by far the best ever produced.

Talking about Led Zep. Did anyone see the Live Aid documentary last night on TV. They blamed Phil Collins drumming for wrecking their performance & the reason they refused to release that footage on the DVD!

Camel's "Pressure Points" may not be 5.1 or DTS, but, on the whole, it's an excellent prog DVD - one of the best, if you like Camel.

Pink Floyd's "Live At Pompeii" is fantastic too, IMO.

I honestly prefer those DVD's when the bands were in their prime. Like Time and a Word Promo, YesYears, Yessongs, Making of Going for the One, The Beat Club, and Live at the QPR 1975. Floyd has an excellent DVD of concert/studio footage from 1966-the wall tour. Wish I can see a full ealry Genesis concert when Peter Gabril dressed up, only saw clips. Own the Genesis songbook. Have Deep Purple Biography, as well as the making of Machine Head, I own the Strawbs Grave New World Movie with a video of Grace My Darling and a clip of Till the sun comes shining through again with a young Rick Wakeman on piano. Thats what I like.............
