I wasn't expecting acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, the lack of volume (and the slow pace of the early part of the concert) made me think it more suitable for a wake. It really allowed the weakness in the voice to come through.

The guitar playing is - as always - superb. But I much prefer electric guitar by this artist. I saw part of a concert on TV where Crosby & Nash sang a couple of songs and for the rest of the time David Gilmour just played the guitar. This was much more to my liking.

I didn't really look at the video quality - I was using the facility on my DVD player to run at 1.3 times speed until I found a track I liked.
