      what are others for you? I’m thinking Metallica in Moscow, Depeche Mode 101, Maybe Jay-Z/Linkin Park?

        Heh Depeche Mode. One of the first singles I bought for the very short lived pirate radio station my friend and me had in my teenage years, was ‘I Just can’t get Enough’. We where on the same frequency as another pirate station, I think it was Radio Carolina or something, so we had some angry pirates at our doorstep very quickly as in the same day, but they cooled down quickly because our young age and operating broadcast equipment. We where pretty scared off though.

        Vince Clarke is an inspiration for what I was doing back in the days. Depeche Mode, Erasure, Alison Moyet. Bought an Amiga 500 for sampling because I could not afford the Fairlight though. That monstrosity was 200.000 dollars or something.

        I am into most genres of music really, left the snobbery of what reaI music supposed to be…I like people just enjoy music for the love of it.

        Last Waltz by The Band (directed by Martin Scorsese). Just fantastic folk rock with an amazing list of guest spots including Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, The Staples Family Singers, and Bob Dylan.

        Shut Up And Play The Hits by LCD Soundsystem. Like The Last Waltz, it’s interspersed with interviews, so it’s not pure concert, but it’s super interesting and a great look at James Murphy’s state of mind as the band says goodbye (temporarily, as it turns out, but still).

        Where the Lights Are by John Mayer. A really interesting concert, especially for people that are into Mayer’s modern blues guitar playing. He actually opens for himself twice, starting with an acoustic set, followed by the John Mayer Trio (where they just slay some amazing modern blues), and finally doing his standard full band pop-rock

        The last spot rotates a bit, but currently it’s probably either Khruangbin @ Villain, Windhand’s Levitation Sessions, or Jason Isbell at the Ryman, all fully available in YouTube and worth a watch, especially at the low, low price of free-ninety-nine.

        Other honorable mentions, Shine A Light by the Stones (also Scorsese), Rock and Roll Circus, especially the Who’s set, and anything by Neil Young and Crazy Horse. I like your suggestions for Depeche Mode and Metallica, although I’ve never really gotten into Depeche Mode and Metallica is mostly not my thing after Master of Puppets. I’ll have to give those concerts a watch.

          I am really into Robbie Robertson, I was attending Frank Zappa’s Broadway the Hard Way in Rotterdam back in the 80s and they where playing his Crazy River song before the concert…I only learned after about The Band and their music. The Weight plays in my head often.

          What I like about Neil Young 's album Harvest is as if you are there with them in the barn. Dry and dense, organic, direct and groove down to the basics. There’s a World might be a little off that description, but I love that one as well.
