Yes the Beastie Boys one.

NIrvana live at the paramount is pretty good.

RHCP live at Slane Castle is a good one

The Song Remains the Same could be in there too.

But your list is great.

Never been a huge fan of concert films, personally - but one that I reckon worked well was the Beastie Boys' "Awesome, I f**kin shot that!" where they gave a ton of cameras to the audience at Madison Square Garden. I saw it at the cinema, and after the first 10 or 20 mins of feeling seasick watching it, you really started to get the vibe and excitement of actually being there at the show, both in the audience and with the band.
