I have this on LaserDisc - remember them? They were the first discs (OK so they wer 12", yes, 12") to contain movies. They were only analog and the players were the size of concordes instrumentation panel, but we had films on disc for the first time. This was one of the first discs I bought cos I was HEAVILY into ELO (Still like 'em now). I eagerly anticipated hearing the quite moving speech/introduction by Tony Curtis, but it wasn't there. This DVD brings it all back, even the guests arriving amid all the muffled converstion. And then there's the performance by ELO themselves. I've heard all the rumours about the tape machine hidden on stage but it doesn't change a thing. This performance was MAGIC. Lasers for the first time, at what lasers! All the hits are here, Mr Blue Sky, Sweet Talkin Woman etc and all capped off with a spectacular version of Roll Over Beethoven. Not only that, but the disc also contains video versions of ALL the songs on the Discovery album. What a treat!
I agree this is a great concert.
I have it on VHS with the Tony Curtis intro.....
I bought the DVD and guess what? The quality is just about identical to the 20 year old VHS.
Still it is a classic concert.
