Top 10 Concert Films to See Before You Die

1. The Band - The Last Waltz

Hands-down the greatest concert film made, Scorsese captures the group's final shows at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving 1976. In addition to guest appearances by Neil Young, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton and long-time collaborator Bob Dylan, the movie takes a look at the quintet's history and is shot unlike any other rock movie. When you combine those elements and an amazing send-off, you have the recipe for the greatest concert film of all time.

Seriously, how did "Shine a Light" win out over "Gimme Shelter" (which should be near the top of the list...)?
