8. Four DVDs, and I paid $29.95 at Tower...
Waters was with them, and it was a real "team player" vibe...on the day of the live show, DU went CRAZY...we had a couple of blow-by-blow Floyd threads going and the high lasted for several hours after it was over.

The Who show is good...if you call Townshend and Daltrey without Moon and Entwistle The Who, that is. Zak Starkey has a lot of the same vibe and power that Moon had, but Pino Palladino on the bass? He's not even TRYING to emulate Entwistle's sound...not in the least...and his style is completely wrong for the band. He's W-A-Y down in the mix, while Entwistle was more of the "God of Thunder" type of player.

McCartney is OK (but it would have been better without George Michael on a duet of "Drive My Car"...)

There are also smatterings of the other international shows (Toronto, Berlin, Rome, Paris) that happened that day...all of which are available as ADDITIONAL sets.

The "reason to purchase," for me anyway, was that Floyd set. NO ONE on DU had a SINGLE complaint about the set (except in the live broadcast, when MTV / VH1 butchered it with commercials)...
