Live rock & roll music, what more could I ask. Twin Peaks got plenty of buzz over the years, but they always sounded way better to me live than on their studio albums, so this live album is just incredible. I've listened to it more than all of their other albums combined.

An official bootleg I'm very happy to own on CD. my favourite band of all time, and their energy in shows is beautiful always, but something about this recording is completely unmatched. It's probably my favourite live album ever. Their back-to-back sets Alivelectric and Aliveacoustic are also very good.
Also quite partial to STRFKR's Live from Brooklyn Steel, and Les Rallizes Dénudés only has live albums, but '77 LIVE is a great psych noise rock show. It just now occurred to me that you might be talking about concerts specifically and not just live albums, so I'll also throw in that I saw They Might Be Giants in Ithaca, NY for their Flood 30th anniversary tour and it was a real delight. They pull out so many tricks that I was just wowed by!

They are great and so underrated! There is something so magical about listening to music in the comfort of your home, but being transported to the effervescent atmosphere of a live show.

they weren't kidding when they called it "At Their Very Best"
also would have recommended Tedeschi Trucks Band - Layla Revisited (Live at LOCKN' 2019) if the whole set was available on Youtube and not just a few songs, but the live album is fantastic!

It's 20 minutes of shredding and lyrics about climate change anxiety, and I listen to the whole thing every time. Linked: the live performance I saw of it a month ago in Portland, fittingly, during a torrential downpour.

An incredible, genre-defying film from Johnnie To that uses Judo as the philosophical foundation for its story of three people looking for more out of life. You see them thrown to the ground repeatedly in its 95 mins, but more than anything, it's a film about the importance of getting back up. Over, and over, and over.
It features a deftly hidden twist and a couple incredibly dynamic sequences (the arcade scene and the night club centerpiece) that I had to rewind and watch again. Outstanding cinematography and inventive choreography in almost every scene, whether it's 4 conversations woven together at once or a 1-on-1 Judo match in the tall grass.
