How about a list of best live peformance DVDs? I mean ones where you can actually see the bassist play.

Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival

Definitely guitar-centric, not too many shots of the bassists, but there's a ton of great musicians featured (Clapton, BB King, Joe Walsh, James Taylor, Hubert Sumlin, Skunk Baxter, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy etc.) and it'll expose you to a lot of excellent bassists that you probably don't know. It did for me. It's a great DVD.

rush- R30 (rio and grace under pressure tour are also very good)

I've heard a queen live dvd at a party- think it might have been "live at the bowl" Not too many great bassist shots but some great musicand a stunning proformance

the police- i think its sychronicity II live, its a neat concert if your into them

Govt Mule: "The Deepest End"; GM lost their bassist, Allen Woody, so they had a concert with everyone who is anyone playing bass for them: Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, George Porter Jr, Will Lee, Jack Casady, Rob Wasserman, Roger Glover, Paul Jackson, Conrad Lozano, Jason Newsted, Greg Rzab, Dave Schools and on the CD that comes with it are others like Jack Bruce....

- Joanie Mitchell's "Shadow and Light" - Jaco in his heyday.

- Alain Caron Live at the Cabaret de Montréal - it's Jazz but very listenable and watchable because Alain can slap and work that fretless. And it all looks very effortless.

- Keb Mo's "Sessions at West 54th" with Reggie McBride laying down some blues.

Also, Pink Floyd Live In Pompeii, while not exactly a live DVD, has some fantastic footage.

Matthew Garrison's Live CD/DVD is great. Bass playing, up front.

Herbie Hancock's Future2Future DVD (w/ Matt G)

Duran Duran's Live From London.

These are some of the few that I own and recommend.
