Some years ago I was introduced to the Burn to Shine DVD series. Brendan Canty of Fugazi fame started this project around 2003 and they have since released 4 volumes (though apparently they've filmed 6). It centers around the history of a house that is set to be demolished, the city in which it's located, and the bands that will play there. A different city is selected for each volume, and a different musician from said city is selected to curate the local bands who will play. Each band has an hour to set up, play a song, and tear down...no corrections, no re-dos. After all of the bands play, they burn the house down. This video is one of my favorites...
