Just as I was thinking it couldn't get any better than that, Clapton began delicately strumming the chords to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". This performance reunited three of the five musicians who played on the original recording - McCartney played the piano and sang harmony vocals, Ringo sat in on the drums, and Clapton handled the lead vocals and played a jaw-dropping version of his own classic guitar solo. George must have been smiling from above. I know I was grinning like hell. One of the strangest things about watching this concert was seeing George's son Dhani up there playing guitar. You could literally switch the picture of George, from that DVD cover up there, with a picture of Dhani, and nobody would know the difference. The resemblance is remarkable, although it was hard to get a feel for whether he could play the guitar and sing like his dad from this performance, as he primary stayed in the background.

The production quality of these DVDs are excellent. The audio is especially good as you get very dynamic DTS and Dolby 5.1 mixes, as well as Dolby stereo. Both 5.1 mixes were clear and had good instrument separation, but the surround speakers were reserved mostly for crowd noise, some background vocals, and to reinforce what is delivered to the main speakers. The anamorphic widescreen presentation delivers some excellent wide angle shots of the entire stage. The picture is generally sharp and the colors look excellent. This DVD package sets the example for what future releases should be. Now I guess I'll have to watch the theatrical version.
