Live CD/DVD released in Australia?! Options

[SJN1279]

It looks like the CD was released on Australia's version of Itunes on Nov. 11th. Where was the promotion in one of Live's largest markets?!

Pokey, dammit, seconded with the folming issues. Have not had a chance to watch the full dvd as of yet, but watched several songs, especially during LJ, this jumping actually gets at my brain. Last time I saw it was the Depeche Mode live in Milan dvd. Absolutely the same way of filming. Distracts from the show horrifically.

I actually like the way the DVD was filmed. It makes you like you are actually at the Paradiso, and not just a distant spectator. You can watch any youtube video of the band and see a static, far away angle of the performance. Kudos for the band for trying something different.

I don't want to start a huge flame war about this, but you can't tell me that the DVD wasn't edited by some ADD madman. Check this:

Here's a video of I Alone from some German TV network called WDR back in 2006:

Now here's I Alone from the Paradiso DVD:

Quick cuts much? I watched the first video no problem. I had to stop the Paradiso one after the bridge. It's just too much.

That first video only has one or two "far away angle" shots of the band and to be honest, I'd take those any day over the quick ADD shots that the Paradiso DVD has on every song.

God forbid the DVD show Gracey's drum solo at the end except for the last 2 seconds when Ed jumps on the riser.

I can find more examples, but it just bums me out.
