I hope the concert gets released too but from a technical aspect I doubt it will be for quite sometime. The only footage Apple wants to release of the concert is on the Anthology. As prevouisly stated the complete concert was filmed. I believe the Beatles were on stage for roughly 30 minutes. The concert film edited some songs out including Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby, and Shes A Woman. Unless they add this footage the concert wouldn't be complete. Another problem is the sound, now many of you who have seen the anthology assume, like I once did, that the sound is totally live. This is not true. The Beatles went over and rerecorded various parts including complete remakes of different songs becuase of the faulty stage set up. The songs that were omitted from the film did not go under serious audio edits by the Beatles and if included to make a complete film would probably be a discredit to the Beatles.
i have it on dvd. great documentary with a lot of pre-concert footage, joking backstage, and interviews. the audio on this one wasn't that good though, compared with the anthology version, but it's a good documentary film.
I've got the VHS with the whole pre-show, etc. Sounds Incorporated is just priceless. The lead singer is just out of control, its hilarious. The Beatles made $100.00 for every second that they were on stage. I never heard that they did "Everybody's Trying to be My Baby".
I have a poor quality dvd with some backstage footage, comments from the Beatles and the Sounds Incraporated performance, haha that guy just went nuts. Too bad they took the ETTBMB performance out of the video , you can hear the audio version in Anthology 2 though

I've got the concert on VHS and it truly is brilliant - especially John's manic keyboard playing during I'm Down, it's just hysterical to see John and George cracking up! True, some of the audio tracks were re-recorded in the studio but it's barely noticeable... except on Act Naturally where the the album version was dubbed onto the soundtrack - that's just plain weird!
One odd little fact - the audio track for Twist and Shout was recorded live at the Hollywood Bowl and is the same version as that released on the album back in 1977!
Right. There are some nice looking DVDs of Shea. One guy says his copies are 'remastered', but they are still from the copies and cleaned up. The footage in Anthology is gorgeous, and I just don't understand why they don't come out with a legit box set of Shea, Budokan, Washington. The bootleggers are making a nice living in the mean time.

I already have the 2 live performances from Budokan on DVD. What I'm waiting to see is the whole Washington concert. I already have a VHS copy of it but the audio just sucks. I love what they did on Anthology, if they could just release the whole performance it'd be great.
