I nominate John Fogerty,s "The long road home, in concert"
I've been listening to it all week in the car, it's taken 7 minutes off a 30 minute commute, and if their is anything better I would like to know what it is.

On September 9, 2005, the unthinkable happened: former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty and his estranged recording label, Fantasy Records, mended ways. For over three decades, Fogerty was mired in bitter disputes and endless legal actions in a bid to regain license to perform the catalog of songs he wrote and recorded between 1969 and 1972. Having lost control of his creative output, Fogerty all but abandoned any hope of ever regaining control—and performance rights—to his now-legendary music. That all came to a remarkable end when the Concord Music Group acquired Fantasy Records and immediately began reaching out to the label's most notable artist. Fogerty and Fantasy announced new projects in the works, the first being a compilation CD that would chronicle Fogerty's entire career—from his days with Creedence to his various solo achievements—being released under the collection title of The Long Road Home. The other imminent project was a live DVD that would reunite the fans with the man, allowing everyone to return to the rocking days that seemed forever gone.
On September 13, 2005, John Fogerty rocked the capacity crowd at Hollywood's Wiltern Theater. Dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans, Fogerty gets right down to business as soon as he steps onto the stage. By his own proclamation, "What I'm about is just playin' rock 'n roll so let's get to it," the 61-year-old guitarist/singer/songwriter does exactly that. Following a rousing opening number of "Travelin' Band," he barrels ahead for the duration of the 99-minute performance, treating the faithful in attendance to a smattering old classics and newer favorites. Backed by a remarkably cohesive band, Fogerty and company belt out numbers with precision, delivering a veritable note-for-note homage to his classic tunes and unforgettable riffs. On the vocals side, time hasn't touched Fogerty's ability to shout out the likes of "Fortunate Son," "Sweet Hitchhiker," "Lookin' Out My Back Door," and "Proud Mary." His voice is hauntingly unaffected by thirty years to the extent that you'd be challenged to find any difference in this performance and those from his Creedence days. All the while, he caresses his various six-string guitars while bouncing and bounding around the stage. Energy is definitely not lacking in this fellow.
Here's the set list for this new DVD:
• Intro/Travelin' Band
• Green River
• Who'll Stop the Rain
• Blue Moon Nights
• Lodi
• Lookin' Out My Back Door
• Hot Rod Heart
• Rambunctious Boy
• She's Got Baggage
• Born On the Bayou
• Bootleg
• Run Through the Jungle
• Déjà Vu (All Over Again)
• Have You Ever Seen the Rain
• Tombstone Shadow
• Keep On Chooglin'
• Sweet Hitch Hiker
• Hey Tonight
• Down On the Corner
• Centerfield
• Up Around the Bend
• The Old Man Down the Road
• Fortunate Son
(Encore)
• Bad Moon Rising
• Rockin' All Over the World
• Proud Mary
