I ordered my copy and I hope to get it either today or tomorrow.

I wish more bands would do this kind of thing

[Sean]

Those who got a copy from a US store, what region was this, 0 or 1? Please let me know. Thanks.

[Sean]

Blir, did you get your copy?

[Frau_Blucher]

No, not yet Sean. I've been holding off on account of a string of new releses, b-sides and vinyls that I've been spending like there's no tomorrow on. [B)]

[Sean]

No problem Blir. I know what you mean with regards to the spending like there's no tomorrow. [:)]

[Sean]

Ok, I bought it so I will find out. [:)]

[Sean]

I received this over the weekend and just wanted to let everyone know it's well worth the money. I actually haven't watched disc 1 but disc 2 is just flat amout amazing. Some of the most beautiful music ever written from Bryan's vocals to Phil's guitar, everything just flows so well together. The visuals are stunning and artistic. It took them a long time to release this but it was well worth the wait. Two thumbs up on this one.

[Frau_Blucher]

Thanks for the update dude. I think it'll get me off my ass and buy this thing.

[Ollie Stench]

I just bought this today. Does anyone else's copy sputter at the beginning of the first song on the first disc? Mine does about 11 seconds in, then it clears up. It does it in the same spot every time. If its an authoring defect I'll live with it. If its only on my copy and a manufacturing defect I'll return it for another copy.

[Sean]

I'll check later and let you know Ollie. Describe "sputter" though.

[Ollie Stench]

The picture and audio stops for a few seconds, then skips ahead to the correct position.

I took the discs into work where we have high-end dvd players and it seemed to play ok.

[Sean]

Hi Ollie,

I've had this happened to quite a few of my dvd's before. I think it's a combination of how the dvd was done and the dvd player you are playing it on. If it works fine on another dvd player, then that's usually the case. I have 3 dvd players hooked up at one time to one tv for this and other problems.

[schwenko]

FWIW, my dvd plays fine, no stopping/skipping.

BTW- What happened to Bryan Ferry? In the lipsynched performance clip for Love Is the Drug he has an eye patch on. At first I thought it was a costuming effect, but he has a gauze pad and tape under the patch, and there are scratches on the other side of his face. Automobile accident??
