Stone Roses – Made of Stone

What: Brit-pop legends The Stones Roses excitingly reunited after 16 years, even though some may have forgotten they ever existed. Made of Stone commemorates the reunion starting with their first rehearsals in 2012 and culminating in their grand homecoming performance held for 220,000 eager fans. Get the inside scoop on how the band regained their spunk to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled legendary debut and rock harder than their backs may have been able to handle.

Buy: Amazon ($17.96)

Morrissey: 25

What: Morrissey and his touring manager probably have the oddest business relationship around. Not only did the Smiths vocalist cancel multiple appearances and tour legs, he believed that Hollywood High School would be the best venue to celebrate 25 years of his career. The show sold out in 12 seconds, a short passing period before being locked behind the auditorium doors. Thankfully, those late fans who got detention are able to view it via BlueRay and DVD. The film includes fan confessions of their undying love for Moz and a legendary 18-song set spanning his solo and Smiths careers.

Buy: Amazon ($11.88 DVD or $13.88 Blu-Ray)

Jimi Hendrix – Hear My Train A Comin’

What: This year, Jimi Hendrix’s legacy carried on through his posthumous release, People, Hell and Angels, and the drafting process of his first bio pic starring Andre 3000. Need more? The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Hear My Train A Comin’ gives an in-depth look at the musician, including testimonies from legends like Paul McCartney and Steve Winwood, rare live footage, and a sacred archive of personal photographs, artwork, journal entries, and more.

Buy: Amazon ($11.88)

Released: The Human Rights Concerts (1986-1998)

What: From 1986 to 1998, human rights awareness was the focus of some of the largest concerts ever. With performances from bands like Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, Lou Reed, The Police, U2, and many others digitally remastered, fans can view these life-changing concerts with a renewed lens. All of the proceeds for the collection will be allocated to Amnesty International to continue the fight for human rights. A great deed for a great show is an ideal way to spread the holiday spirit.

Buy: Amazon ($49.99)

The Rolling Stones – Sweet Summer Sun: Live from Hyde Park

What: The latest DVD from The Rolling Stones spells out the definition of an epic homecoming. With over 100,000 fans in attendance, the UK rockers slayed the anticipation with a legendary 16-song set packed with special guests and commanding sing-alongs. While there’s no saying how long the band will carry on, we can always fondly look back at moments like this.
