The original concert is 4:3 but the Director's Cut & Documentoary is 16:9 so a bigger and wider sceen for me please! : )

I didn't realise that the 'directors cut' was wide screen. They must be masking of the original footage, or 'fake widescreen' as wikipedia refer to it.

'Directors cut' with film is the same as remaster for audio. The cut of 'Live at Pompei' is not the original directors cut, not his re-edit, but a new cut with sound effects and most library footage added.

Wikipedia - Live at Pompei

With almost all directors cuts on film, they simply add in footage that was thought to slow the film down too much for cinema audiences, not such a problem at home, where you can pause the play for tea and other breaks.

'Directors cuts' are very rarely the original cut the director wanted, and those are generally unlikely to be released (for instance Terence Malick's 'Days of Heaven' at 3 hours, not the 1.45 of the production companies cut). Like remasters of CDs they are mostly a way of reselling the same project in another way.

All that said, if you prefer the new version, then enjoy that, it is really down to the version that you come to know.

I, by default(it's the one I picked up,not specifically chosen) have the 2003 version, the original is a "bonus" which is a bonus.

I must watch it again soon.

Gian,
Thanks for posting that.
I have loads of his albums but never seen the man play live.

Hi Stu!
Not bad, not good.
Need a further spin.

Now

Just watches Robbie Williams at the Albert Hall on Blu-Ray.

Fantastic quality picture and sound.

And he could certainly work and audience.

Norah Jones "Austin City Limits"

Earlier:-

Danny Thompson on upright bass, Michael Jerome on drums.

Watch this & dispel any doubts you may have about RT being one of our very best guitarists and singer/songwriters.

Fanbloodytastic that is Tony. RT is a genius of the the guitar and a poet.
DT ain't too shabby either.

A very interesting insight to the workings of 3 generations of guitarist. Not on BR BTW.

DVD's like that make me sick.
I had my Guitar out yesterday.
I know what i want to do but my bloody fingers wont have it.
I broke three nails and a string.
PS that Richard Thompson has alot to answer for too.

I'm waiting for my copy.

Most famous guitarists one day stopped thinking about what other people could do with a guitar and found out their own way.
What about the white falcon?

I don't know any famous guitarists, but all the guitarists I know are passionately interested in what other guitarists are doing. You don't need to work in a vacuum to be creative and original.
