	Concert film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A concert movie, or concert film, is a type of documentary movie whose subject is an extended live performance by a musician (or, more recently, by a comedian).
		Typically, concert films have simple, descriptive names such as "(performer) Live", "(performer) In Concert".
		Early concert films include Woodstock (1970, focusing on the Woodstock Festival), The Concert for Bangladesh (1972, focusing on the August 1, 1971 Madison Square Garden concert organized by George Harrison for the benefit of Bangladeshi refugees), and Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1973, focusing on David Bowie's July 3, 1973 concert).

	The Song Remains the Same (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The video of the film was released on October 25, 1990, and the DVD was released on December 31, 1999.
		The first attempt was the filming (by Peter Whitehead and Stanley Dorfman) of Led Zeppelin's Royal Albert Hall performance on January 9, 1970, but the lighting was judged to be mediocre, and the film was shelved (this footage was later remastered and featured on the 2003 release Led Zeppelin DVD).
		For all of its technical faults, today many view the film as an interesting historical document that captured the band at a particular point in time when its popularity was about to peak, and, on a more general level, as an accurate representation of the excesses of the music and show-business industries in the 1970s.

	New crop of concert films rock theaters - Boston.com
		The film, directed by Jonathan Demme, is part of a new batch of concert documentaries.
		For the eight-hour concert, Gondry instructed his nine camera crews not to necessarily always focus on the stage, but to shoot whatever was "the center of attention" in their area.
		The concert -- interwoven with the narratives of Chappelle, several audience members and the musicians -- adds up to a documentary beyond the normal conventions of a concert film.

	DVD Review: Free Tibet - The Concert
		There's a strange back and forth to the film; the concert is trying to educate this generation to what is going on in Tibet and the problems there - that's certainly good.
		The film is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and the audio again, varies from performance to performance, but never really rises to the level of "good".
		The three of them discuss their plans for the concert, and their ideas for what they wanted to show in the film in terms of the balance of concert footage and information.

	6/14/00: A Morriconoclastic Film Music Concert
		On June 9, 2000 Ennio Morricone was in Ghent, Belgium to give a unique concert just before the beginning of the Flanders International Film Festival (for which Hans Zimmer is to give a concert in October).
		The first part of the concert was a performance of a score composed by Morricone for the oldest American film available: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF KING RICHARD III (1912).
		While the film was screened for the audience, Morricone's score was vibrantly performed, under the composer's direction, by the National Belgian Orchestra.

	Film Review: 'Concert of Wills': The Art of Compromise
		If the documentary "Concert of Wills: Making the Getty Center" is any guide, the process of creation is prolonged and dogged by frustration and conflict.
		In the end, no matter what the visible result or how heady the plaudits, the art that may have done most to shape the outcome is the art of compromise and collaboration.
		"Concert of Wills" also records meetings of the center's design advisory committee and city planning commission sessions, visits the Italian quarry that produced the travertine used for the buildings' exteriors, and shows the transformation of the hillside from scrubland to the glowing site of the completed project.

	AMCTV.com - Celebrating the Concert Film
		But thanks largely to the Oscar-winning success of Woodstock (1970), (a film that did for documentaries what the original event had done for the American consciousness) the Seventies saw the rise of the concert film as a new tool in the musical and social arsenal of the rock 'n roll performer.
		It coincided with the emergence of a new breed of filmmaker who was able to capture not just the music, but the entire concert scene on film, and bring the immediacy and intimacy of a live concert experience to entirely new audiences.
		Though a shortened version of the concert film was broadcast on television in 1974, the full length theatrical version remained unseen until 1983.

	Coachella (2006) (V) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The only redeeming parts of this film are the clips of a couple of good bands they included in the final cut.
		This film spent too much time dealing with stoned hippies trying to set up tents and not enough time with the bands that made the festival enjoyable.
		Overall this festival is nothing like this film, mainly because as the festival changes year to year, this film makes it all seem as though it is all one year, one event.

	Sound for Wattstax Concert Film-Creating the Sound for Wattstax Concert Film
		Stuart wanted the film to be more — to reflect the views of people in the fl community — so in the weeks following the concert, he had documentary crews roaming the streets, shops and churches of Watts, and he interspersed footage of the people they encountered between the film's live performances.
		Not surprisingly, given the variety of settings in the film and motley materials he was given to work with, Jim Austin faced quite a challenge when it came to developing a good surround mix for the film.
		At press time, the film is slated to play at the late-April opening of the new Stax Museum in Memphis, and a limited theatrical release was planned for early June.

	Film Music - Musique de cinema
		His unique contribution to film music history is the way he was able to finesse fine scores out of the astonishing list of art music composers you mention at a time when writing for the movies was very much looked down upon as hack work.
		Film music, and by this I mean original scores rather than compilation albums of rock and pop music, is a minority interest in the first place.
		That said, my own experiences of attending concerts of film music have been “mixed.” The fact is that some great movie scores work in a concert setting, while others, even though they’ve been very successful and effective in the cinema, do not.

		Film crews went into the streets, churches, barber shops and diners to talk with people about the connection between music and their existence and what it was like to be fl in a white America.

		On the visual front, the film is appropriately understated, using slow cuts and tight close-ups on the performers in conjunction with simple but warm stage and costume design to create an intimate, elegiac and down-home atmosphere perfectly suited to the mood and setting of the Grand Ole Opry.
		This is a very special film, not just for the quality of the music but for capturing a brilliant artist at a very key point in his life and his career.
		In the film, Pegi Young describes her husband's mood when he wrote the album: "His life was flashing before his eyes," she said.

		But the entertaining concert film also focuses on a fun-loving and kindhearted side of the comic, which hasn't always come across in Chappelle's TV program and movie roles.
		Chappelle begins by explaining that "this is the concert I always wanted to see" -- later admitting that every comic wants to be a musician, and every musician thinks he's a comic.
		Just as filmmaking veteran Mel Stuart was recruited to make the concert film "Wattstax" in 1973, Chappelle found a creative-minded director in Michel Gondry, who also directed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," along with several groundbreaking videos by Bjork.
