Music & Concert Films | Film & Music

Seeing a live concert is one of life's great experiences. But if you can't make it out of the house or don't fancy wallowing in the Glastonbury mud, watching concert DVDs from the comfort of your own living room is the next best thing. Classifieds is full of new and second hand bargain concert DVDs.

Golden Oldies
Do you want to relive those classic 'The Beatles' gigs that made you weak at the knees in your teenage years? Would you like to be soothed by Ray Charles tickling the ivories? It is worth checking Classifieds for some of the legendary performers doing their thing on stage. If you are struggling to find concert DVDs by your preferred artist then just leave a little ad to see if anyone can help.

Audio-visual Experience
Some artists such as Chemical Brothers and Sigur Ros release concert DVDs that fill your living room with artistic light displays and beautiful images. With the right television and sound system, this can be as good as (if not better than) going to a live show. In addition all concert DVDs show the performers up close and personal, allowing you to see the gig from a different perspective to those who saw it live.

Hidden Gems
Perhaps your favourite band is 'misunderstood' by the general public. Perhaps they make music of a genre that very few people enjoy/understand/are aware of. Perhaps they are genuinely terrible but your personal connection to them forces you to buy their DVDs! Classifieds is a great place to find less popular concert DVDs that don't make it on to the shelves of mainstream shops.

Pirate DVDs
Illegal concert DVDs can take the form of low-quality live recordings or simple copies of official DVDs, and the risk of buying them is an unfortunate side-effect of shopping online. If the recording quality is poor, or is the presentation of the product is unprofessional, then you will probably have been sold a pirate DVD and should not buy from the same seller again. Likewise if the DVD is advertised in a polythene wallet or without art printed on the disc, you should not attempt to buy it. Do not worry too much about illegal DVDs as the vast majority of sellers on Classifieds are really nice people with good products!

Sound
There are various audio options available ranging from stereo to ten-speaker surround sound and these options will always be listed on the reverse sleeve of the DVD box. The sound quality should be foremost in your mind when buying a concert DVD as it will really make a difference to your enjoyment of the show. Obviously the better your hardware, the better the audio option you can select.

Regions
All DVDs sold in the United Kingdom are listed as 'Region 2' and will work with UK DVD players. However there are often exclusive or special edition concert DVDs available in different regions. For example an American band might release some bonus tracks that are only available on the American DVD for their home fans. But as an avid listener, why should you miss out on extras like these? In order to view discs from other regions all you need is a multi-region DVD player and you could pick one of these up for a bargain price on Classifieds!

Second Hand Music Concert DVDs
Most second hand DVDs work well and come in good condition. Look at the seller's description of the product to ensure that it is of a good enough standard to warrant a purchase. Also check any provided images of the product for damage. It is worth considering second hand products as you can make huge savings on the RRP.
