I have beheld the future of home entertainment, and home sound experiences, and it is 5.1 surround sound live music DVD's that put you there. Wrap you up in sound, knock you around a bit and give you the sensation that maybe you're there- at least aurally.
Examples:
Roger Waters, The Wall Live in Berlin. Titanic.
Led Zeppelin, DVD. Described previously. Awesome- the closest we'll get to seeing and hearing them live.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Live Rust. "Cortez the Killer" transports me back to Bonnaroo 2003.
The Tragically Hip, That Night in Toronto (available separately or in the Hipeponymous boxed set). Hot, a great show that totally encapsulates the experience of a Hip show, and a great one at that.
U2, Vertigo Live in Chicago. The DTS mix is killer- you are there soundwise. U2 Go Home, Live at Slane Castle (2001) also has a boffo DTS mix as well.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots 5.1 and VOID (Video Overview in Decceleration), which while not live still manages to transport you somewhere else- thanks to the exciting and vibrant 5.1 mixes of local boy Dave Fridmann. Indeed, the next frontier of sound...
