Live At The Academy Of Music 1971 is a box set by The Band with four CDs and a DVD.
The Band played four concerts at the Academy of Music in New York in the last week of December in 1971 and these concerts became the source for Rock Of Ages.
The DVD is not a film of the concert but a photo montage with music.

Hoggin’ The Stage Plus is an extension of the original Hoggin’ The Stage album by the Groundhogs with songs from Leeds and London (1971) and Stockholm (1976).
The Plus version has a track recorded in the USA, Music Is The Food Of Thought (1972?) and four extra songs from the Stockholm concert in 1976.
The original album is still available but I think it makes sense to opt for the extended version. Alternatively, if you don’t want Stockholm, the famous support performance for the Rolling Stones, Live At Leeds is now available as a separate album.
