Thanks for the post.

I'll be looking for reviews of the dvds.

Just a heads up, the DVD is out next Tuesday. www.dvdempire.com also has it for pre-order. Also the 3 CDs *are* being released in the US as well (by Rhino.)

This entire concert was broadcast live on one of the XM channels, but I was only able to catch small pieces of it. I'll certainly be ordering this one and adding to my collection of concert DVDs. Thanks for the heads up!
