A great production of a great concert

An excellent concert film. Looks like a full length concert. Lots of great performances and wonderful stagecraft. The camera-work and direction makes you feel onstage most of the time. I ran out and bought Still Growing Up and a host of other live concert films. This is still the best of the lot. Pink Floyd's Pulse is another great film but, there the big stage and lightshow are primary. Here, the performers are primary and the stagecraft (while wonderful) is at the service of the music. The sound is marvelous DTS 5.1. If you like this, you can continue the experience with Still Growing Up, which is from the same tour but in smaller venues. Still, great performances with less stagecraft but it does jump from one location to another.
