Great news, but I don't see the point in releasing a blu-ray if it's just gonna be in SD

upscaled SD blu-ray > lolDVD

I agree with you though, I would have loved a true blu-ray release.

I always loved that performance so much!

I wish that link above still worked. I'd love to download just the GNR portion of this show.

[Crash Diet]

Thanks Gibbo, superb quality of this classic event

[Johnny Drama]

I wish that Axl could come back and punch some sense into the one we have now.

I would love to see what young Axl would say to old Axl nowadays. Maybe tell him to "shove it"

Great news! This is THE GnR performance I first saw and instantly loved. But more importantly, it's an amazing show completely.

Not a guilt trip or anything, but I wanted to point out that profits from this release go to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, which passes them on to AIDS charities around the world.

It's a good cause, well worth purchasing a copy.

I see what you did there.

I know. I'm not in any way trying to rip them off or anything. It would just be cool to have their set in great quality stored on my computer. If I really wanted the whole thing, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it, because as you said its going to a good cause. Just getting it for that one portion is a bit much. Just while it was available it would have been cool to download. I'm not gonna go searching to rip them off or anything. I just know I'd never watch the DVD. I'd rather just make a donation directly to them.

Watched it yesterday, quality is shocking and doesn't looked upscaled. Just a money scam.

its also in 4:3 with black bars at the side. I wouldn't care if the quality looked good but doesn't.

These are the parts of the concert that are not on the DVD set:

Extreme - Love Of My Life

Extreme - More Than Words

Def Leppard - Animal

Def Leppard - Let's Get Rocked

Spinal Tap - Majesty Of Rock

U2 - Until The End Of The World (live via satellite)

Mango Groove (live via satellite)

Queen / Daltrey / Iommi - Heaven and Hell / Pinball Wizzard (intro's)

Queen / Robert Plant - Innuendo

Queen / Robert Plant - Thank You (intro)

David Bowie - The Lord's Prayer

God Save The Queen (taped outro)

I'm not even sure about the things marked "Intro". They might be on there but not listed (as they're only intro's). Same goes for God Save The Queen.

The only one I'd really have loved to see on there is Innuendo. Love Of My Life would've been nice too.

Still, definitely buying this.

Well after all these years it's nice to have nearly the whole concert instead of just the second half. Pity about the black bands either side of the screen though, but all I had before was a worn out video taped on the day as I was at the gig and wanted to watch it again when I got home. Said goodbye to Freddie that day and hello to GnR.

[RussTCB]

This got delayed for a few weeks in the US for some reason but I'll be getting it when it finally ships. If nothing else, it's worth owning just for the Extreme medley.

[EvH]

"Complaints, complaints, complaints" about PQ are pointless. The show was video taped in 4:3 format for TV broadcasting. It will never look better than this.

The mix may be a different beast though.

[liers]

Keep in mind it is from 21 years ago.... We didn't have great recording devices nor had anyone really heard of HD.

[TheDemocracyRose]

Really great audio here. Sounds more clear and fresh...

Yeah, fucking aids charities scamming the public out of their money! The bastards!

This.

The original broadcast can never look better than it did. The sound quality difference it going to be where it's at. I can't wait for this to come out in the US!
