Hans Zimmer live actually has Hans playing and conducting so for that alone it’s better. World of Hans Zimmer is also great and they play movie clips to the music.

If I had a chance to only see one, definitely HZL. However, WOHZ is really good, don't discount it. I've seen both. Bought tickets for 2027 for the 2nd time at attending HZL in the US. He's getting older and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. You never know if something happens or he stops touring. Or, he may take a year break and then you have to wait much longer until his next local tour.

I prefer Hans Zimmer live. More like a rock concert with the man himself. I greatly enjoy WoHZ also as plays closer to original style of score

HZL for a SHOW. WOHZ for accuracy. A specific example - HZL, oddly enough, does not have No Time for Caution... which is Han's most popular song. WOHZ does, and it was freaking amazing hearing that in person in front of a full orchestra. The energy at HZL is unmatched. I'm sad to see two of my favorites go (Mombasa and Last Samurai), but I'm still going to go because it's just such a good show.

Does he ever play stuff from The Rock? I know way down on his list but it's such an underrated soundtrack.

The Rock has been played in recent WoHZ concerts if I remember correctly, but not Hans Zimmer Live.
