Top 20 All-Time Concert Films

The folks at EarFarm have put together their list of the best of the currently out-of-favor live document. We don't completely agree--surprise! surprise!--especially with their #1 pick, but they've included some inspired selections and hit all the right notes, as well as giving props to two frequently overlooked and underrated classics: 1972's Wattstax (aka "the black Woodstock"; left) and the out of print Urgh! A Music War from 1981.

But the list is solid--it also includes links and video clips from each selection--and, plus, somebody's gotta show the kids (both filmmakers and musicians alike) how it was/should be done.
