Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991)
Following the Material Girl on her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, this doc showed everything from Madonna's Vatican-condemned show to inside her boudoir and interactions with Kevin Costner, Al Pacino and Antonio Banderas. Hey, there's a reason it was titled In Bed with Madonna in some parts of the world!

Michael Jackson’s This Is It (2009)
Filmed by High School Musical honcho Kenny Ortega, This Is It shows what could have been. The doc follows the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, as he prepared for a world tour that would never be. It's now the most successful concert flick ever.

Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars: The Motion Picture (1973)
Shortly after David Jones became David Bowie, the musician adopted the persona of an androgynous, over-the-top glam rocker named Ziggy Stardust. The result was legendary, until David decided to finish off his sci-fi alter-ego in an extravagant concert send off, all captured for the big screen.

God Bless Ozzy Osbourne (2011)
Ozzy Osbourne is no stranger to cameras documenting his life (he did, after all, have an MTV reality show), but this documentary focuses less on his shenanigans and more on his four decades as the rock icon known as the Prince of Darkness.

Britney Spears: Live from Miami (2004)
Broadcast on Showtime, Britney Spears' Onyx Hotel tour featured everything the blonde bombshell does best: Killer dance moves! Live singing (well, some)! And controversy galore (imitation erotica in a prop bathtub, anyone?!)

Woodstock (1970)
It makes sense that one of the most iconic music festivals ever would produce one of the most praised concert documentaries ever. Which is exactly the case with Academy Award-winning Woodstock, which features performances by Jimi Hendrix, The Who and Janis Joplin.

The Union (2011)
Director Cameron Crowe helmed this documentary that gives a behind-the-scenes look at Elton John as he came together with musician Leon Russell. The two had not spoken for 38 years, before deciding to record an album and hit the road together.

Big Easy Express (2012)
Folk-infused bands Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show didn't just name their tour the Railroad Revival Tour—they lived it, traveling by train from California to Louisiana. And they captured the whole thing on film!

Under Great White Northern Lights (2009)
Featuring some of the duo's last performances together (the band has since split), this concert flick follows The White Stripes as they embark on a truly impressive Canadian tour, playing impromptu shows on buses and coffee shows in addition to the usual stops.

Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same (1976)
Presented as "a front row seat to Led Zeppelin," the film was a true passion project for the band. Not only did they fund the filming of a three-night concert series at Madison Square Garden, but added "fantasy sequences" for a truly in-depth experience.

Gimme Shelter (1970)
Shot by documentary legends The Maysle brothers, this documentary about the The Rolling Stones is a stellar look at the band as it heads toward its tragic, Hells Angels-policed free concert at the Altamont Speedway in northern California, even capturing on screen the crazed violence that lead to the stabbing death of one concertgoer.

Fade to Black (2004)
Back in 2004, Jay-Z claimed he was retiring from the rap game and Fade to Black was intended to document his final concert at Madison Square Garden. Thankfully for us, that didn't turn out to be the case. But it's still a killer show.

U2: Rattle and Hum (1988)
U2 has released a handful of concert movies, but U2: Rattle and Hum shows them at their best (well, one of their bests): During their fall 1987 tour of North America. It's got great performances and guests, but don't expect to see Bono's signature shades, though!

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)
Before she couldn't be tamed, Miley Cyrus donned her trademark blonde wig for double duty on a kid-friendly, 3D Disney concert that showcased both her small screen alter-ego (Hannah Montana) and herself.

Stop Making Sense (1984)
Shot by Academy Award-winning director Jonatham Demme (The Silence of the Lambs), this film showcases a three-day concert series The Talking Heads performed in Hollywood, and took amazing liberties with the music film format, like not showing the audience, and slowly builds from a solo performance by David Byrne to incredible funktacular blasts by its expanded touring band.

The Last Waltz (1978)
Held on Thanksgiving, The Band's "farewell concert appearance" had everything a good concert movie should: An A-List director (Martin Scorsese!), a Who's Who of musical guests (Bob Dylan! Neil Diamond! Joni Mitchell!) and killer tunes.

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience (2009)
Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas—AKA the Jonas Brothers—mix Disney 3D concert fun (three dates worth of footage from shows in Anaheim, Calif.) with some killer celeb cameos from eventual Nick Jonas exes Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift.

Concert for George (2002)
Held on the first anniversary of The Beatles' George Harrison's death, Concert for George not only featured music from his remaining bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, but also famous friends Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and…Tom Hanks, too!

Pearl Jam Twenty (2011)
Director Cameron Crowe also helmed this flick, a "rockumentary" that documents the ups and downs (the breaking up of old bands, lawsuits, a 2000 tragedy at the Roskilde Festival that left 9 concertgoers dead) of the grunge band that lasted, Pearl Jam.
