There are two releases, where 2-3 songs differ. I can´t remember exactly but "High Heel Sneakers" is missing on one, and on the other "Mexicali Rose" is missing.

Peter perhaps have an edited homemade version to include both. Othervise my suggestion is to buy both! Much better quality!

What makes you so sure that 'official' releases are "much better quality" than home-made compilations??? This isn't always so.

Anyway, I'm expecting a bootleg DVD compilation with all available songs (in the correct order) in a week or two. Some songs though were never broadcast or released.

Typical of the DVD producers to leave the most unusual and interesting numbers off the DVD - Jailhouse Rock and Hang Up My R'n'R Shoes. I Think Hi Heel Sneakers was left off some versions as well. At least they included Wild One (Real Wild Child). And just cutting into the fast version of Mexicali Rose doesn't really work either - they needed the slow version first as it is quite obvious we are joining the number in the middle.

To be fair 'Jailhouse Rock' was cut short (as usual), & 'Hang Up My Rock & Roll Shoes' rarely sounds good live. I'd certainly have kept 'Me & Bobby McGee' & the opening 'Blues At Midnight' / 'Boogie Woogie Country Man' though.

Best videod 'live' versions of JHR and HUMRnRS were probably Toronto Peace Festival, where Jerry improvises the words to Jailhouse Rock as an encore, and the Los Angeles early 1970s show In Concert where he segues R'n'R Shoes into CC Rider and sings them as a tribute to Chuck Willis.

Hi folks, don't know if this has been asked before...

Who is that woman, who comes on stage while the performance of Johnny B. Goode? She seems to talk to Jerry and cry...

Very strange to me... Anybody knows more?

Just a fan that was overcome with emotion.

A similar thing happened in Northampton in 1987.

I should've pointed out that part of this can be seen & heard during the fans & guests interviews at the beginning of the official DVD.

I've always thought the official DVD was edited quite well, although mexicali rose was a pretty obvious edit.

The camera angles used were pretty amazing at this show, especially the one hanging over the piano. It would be awesome if the original production team could dig out ALL the footage a make a DVD with multiple angle selection.

As for the girl running onto the stage, a few years ago my then girlfriend (now wife) was asked to perform the same gesture in Newcastle....although the crying wasnt part of the deal. Needless to say she neglected the offer as she isnt a fan and had been dragged to the show by me.

What was the name of the satellite channel taken over by Sky (the y were Bskyb for a short while)that broadcast the original show here in the UK, had those funny square-ials, a pal subscribed so that he could tape the show which had some cool camera angles above the piano etc and more fan/band interviews than on the dvd, all on a video in the loft somewhere along with the Kings Sunday show which I still can't find
