Dave Chappelle’s Block Party may be the best concert film ever produced - every performer brings the fire, and Michel Gondry and his crew really capture the moment, from what’s going on with the performers to the people in the crowd and to the sides of the stage. There’s so much excitement and urgency in the footage and the way it’s all edited together. The audio version of this performance from the soundtrack is outstanding on its own - this may be the definitive version of the song - but with Gondry’s footage, it’s pure magic.
