Talent: Belle And Sebastian, Les Savy Fav, Mars Volta, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Iggy And The Stooges
Why It Rocks: It's more than just a straightforward concert pic (though there's some great footage of the bands in action) - shot largely by the fans and the musos themselves, it peeks into the heart of the event and also picks up some of the vibe.
It's the closest you can likely come to actually attending the thing without the smells. Not necessarily a bad thing, to be honest...
But if you want to experience the film the way it should be seen - welded to live sets from the likes of Les Savy Fav - check out the tour that has just kicked off.

You guys clearly forgot to mention the Beastie Boys, Awsome I shot that! 50 different cameras seamlessly edited together and a back catalogue that has sabotage in it!!!

Good list, but Meredith Hunter, the person killed by a member of the Hell's Angels at Altamont Speedway is a man, not a woman.

This list is hugely lacking in not mentioning "Urgh: A Music War".

Uh, in a word, No. What about Pink Floyd's Live in Pompeii (what if a band held a concert and no one came?)? Festival Express? Joe Cocker's Madogs and Englishmen? Dave Chapelle's Block Party (Michael Gondry!!)? Marvin Gaye live at Montreaux? The Concert for Bangladesh? Bittersweet Motel? Scratch? With the exception of This Is It, I've seen every film on this list and I'll agree with Stop Making Sense & Last Waltz is by far the best concert film, etc. But Gimme Shelter above c********r Blues??? C'mon.

Oh and Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" - where else do you see a band sell their record twice to the same label???
