Pompeii
Loved it! I was just watching it yesterday. I must admit I was initially very disappointed. The interviews that make up the director's cut are interesting, once, but they break up the music and turn it into a documentary with music instead of a music video.
However, when I explored the "extras" I found that one of them was the original without all the extra crap and much, much better.
btw - Although I love this video it's probably only my 3rd or 4th favourite.
At #1 and completely unassailed, head and shoulders above the rest is "Secret World" by Peter Gabriel. I like Gabriel's music, but not a huge fan, but this DVD defines what a concert video should be. Beuatiful playing, beautiful and imaginative staging, thoughtful and not hyperactive camera work, stage visuals nicely blended with video visuals, phenomenal musicianship, every song had it's own visual and audio signature.
Wonderful work on all levels. If you don't actually dislike PG you'll love that video.
