best live DVDs?

Mike Stern's Live DVD with Richard Bona is great- lots of closeups and great quality.

The Yellowjackets "25" album comes with a great live DVD- I love me some Haslip

Lee Ritenour's "Overtime" is a fantastic double-DVD with Anthony Jackson and Melvin Lee Davis

If you can track it down, there's Pat Metheny's performance at Austin City Limits with a great uprighter (forgot his name) and Richard Bona taking up the electric for a track or two- the rest of the show he plays acoustic guitar and sings, both of which he excels at.

Also, if you can check out Studio Jams on BETJ, they have some fantastic bassists on that show- the scheduling of it is terrible, but some of the shows I've recorded included stuff with Oteil Burbridge, Jimmy Haslip, Victor Wooten, Chico Huff (fairly unknown but a MONSTER player), and many other top players.

I own the Joni Mitchell "Shadows and Light" - and while it's awesome listening to Jaco, there are a LOT of shots of "a wolf out in the snow" interspersed with the concert footage, frequently over top of Jaco's playing. He gets some screen time, but FAR less than he gets featured playing time. It was definitely not edited together by someone who was in awe of the all-star band backing Joni.

+1 on the Deepest End and Live at the Quick. The Derek Trucks Band "Songlines Live" (I think I got the title right) is also pretty cool.
