This is a good example of how a concert film should NOT be.

I went to one of his concerts in 2003 in Copenhagen and liked it very very much, naturally.

But when I purchased this DVD I was hoping for just plain concert with the songs in right order. Paul and the band should be the show - not the adoring fans. The edtiting is way too much. All the fans saying how much they love Paul and so on should be in the special features section and not always popping up in between songs. Itīs very annoying and tiresome.

On a brighter note, some of the interesting footage was of Paul's different guitars he used during the concert, behind the scenes at "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", and clowning around on their private jet.

Oh well. just wanted to get this off my chest.  


They were the most brilliant, powerful, lovable, popular group on the planet...

I love that DVD. I think they did a great job capturing the excitement of the fans, the band, and all the elements that went into that tour.  Especially moving was "The Long & Winding Road" where the road crew/Cirque held up the hearts.

I personally don't mind the fan clips in between the songs.

Back In The US is actually one of my favorite music DVD's.

Some of the fan clips are actually very moving (like the older guy that's crying during All My Loving and the woman that had Here There And Everywhere played on her wedding).
