The El Mocambo SRV show is indeed a gem of a dvd. Stevie hardly missed a beat the entire show, and, as usual, was "in the moment" and not trying to nail the sound from the album. As a guitar player, it's probably my favorite of all time, with Vai's Live at the Astoria coming in a close second.
As a musician, I gotta give my vote to Queen Rock Montreal or Queen at Whimbley. Both shows caught the band when every member was at their peak (wondering if there ever was a time when they WEREN'T at their peak).
Now, when it comes to someone nailing the sound on their albums, there can be only one winner, and we all know who that is...... No, not Milli Vanilli. Exit Stage Left, A Show of Hands, Grace Under Pressure, ALL brilliant performances worthy of awe by any practicing musician no doubt. I did catch R30, but have not yet seen the DVD of Chronicles, Rush in Rio, and Snakes and Arrows, but I'm sure they all rock equally as hard.
And I gotta give credit to our local boys Collective Soul as well. Their 'Home' dvd was amazing. Gotta love it whenever a rock band gets an orchestra together to do all their popular tunes in grand fashion!
