Thanks for the Phil Keaggy tip. I didn't know about that one, and I am a fan. I recently bought his Time 1 compilation CD and have been jamming to that for the last few days.

I'd suggest one more DVD for the list, Phil Keaggy's "Philly Live". It's a great document of his live acoustic show, with unbelievable performances of "True Believer" and "John The Revelator" as highlights. It's of course geared more towards Phil's religious audience, but the performance itself is phenomenal and it's hugely appealing. Phil of course is his usual warm, funny self on the performance. The show is pretty much the same lineup of songs I saw Phil perform about a year ago at one of his acoustic performances (minus the Beatles covers, unfortunately). The DVD's only available from Phil's site. Now if we could get him to do an electric DVD or even better a Glass Harp show....

Tom, I am a Marillion fan but for some reason all of their DVD's can only be found at import prices here in the U.S, which is about twice as much as a normal DVD. I'm not THAT big a fan. I did break down an get their "From Stoke Row to Ipanema" DVD an enjoyed it. Primus are definately an acquired taste. I'll eventually have to check out their DVD.

Primus' DVD is killer, but it just came not too long ago, so you might have missed it. And if you have access to it, the DVD documenting Marillion's performance of their new album, Marbles, is not to be missed (Marbes On The Road - be sure and get this from Marillion.com as you can get the full two-disc show ONLY from there.

Thanks Eric. I'm just glad I stumbled upon this great site. Amber, to be honest I have never even listened to the Pixies before--atleast that I knew of. I have read tons of rave reviews of their stuff though, so maybe I'll have to check out their DVD.
