Who's giving it to me for Christmas? You lucky bastard.

[turkish101]

That sucks. I ordered mine from iTunes, and it arrived in my library about 5 minutes later

I ordered a CD/DVD combo from BOL.com (Dutch store) on the 12th of November and it arrived at my door on the 17th.

Reeeeeeaaaally??

I'm gettin so sick of waiting for the Aussie release date I might just do that too. Just one question though - is it a PAL version? Any issues with region etc?...

European's use PAL as well, so there aren't any issues with compatibility.

My local cd store also imported the US version (NTSC) of the DVD. That plays fine in my DVD player.

Somebody posted a link to an Australian online store selling LATP. I've never heard of them, but it may be worth investigating.

Does anyone know how the CD or DVD sold in the US? I know it didn't make the Billboard top 50, but it wasn't expected to. I guess we'll know on Thursday?

I got my DVD yesterday and I LOVE it!! Does anyone know whether the DVD is supposed to have an inlay thingy with more info and pics like DVDs usually have?

well the DVD/CD-combo has a booklet with a few pages, with credits for the DVD (the ones you can see after watching Dance with you), and some other info, such as Forever+Purifier lyrics.

Thanks! I suppose it's like the booklet that comes with the CD if you buy it separately.

yeah, but I guess it's still a little different as the booklet I was reffering to has more the seize of a DVD booklet if you know what I mean, and also contained DVD details, something a cd booklet won't have I guess. Whatever, little differences
but still weird that the seperated DVD doesn't have anything

Ha, Loves will be done! I just read it.

Yeah, mine finally arrived this morning. It was postmarked Nov 10 so I blame my horrible post office. I don't get to listen to it for awhile though. My CD case also has a huge crack in it despite the fact that it was shipped in the bubble wrap.

Always happens when I receive CDs via post.

ALWAYS

The post officers do their best.

I just heard Lakini's Juice... I love this version! The Led Zeppelin Ramble on part at the end made me laugh. I thought he liked Kashmir though

[Badman]

Also when Ed first screams "SPIRIT!" in Operation Spirit, it is probably the single worst moment for Live ever.

D: I just heard this... You couldn't be more correct. Pat was the only good thing in this song. He ruined his own lyrics by infusing them with christian feculence.

"Heard alot of talk about this jesus
a man of love a man of strength
but what a man was 2000 years ago
means a hell of a lot more to me today.

I know he was telling me about my higher self
and now he lives inside my prayer.
What he was was so damn beautiful
Baby I got to have me some more."

I actually didn't notice that he used some lyrics of Ramble On, but now you bring it on...indeed! Quite cool.

I thought he liked Kashmir though

yeah he said so Live covering Kashmir in the future, now THAT would rock

Well, the frustration has finally got to me re: still no freakin Aussie release.

After reading all the comments here I finally caved in and checked out a couple of the youtube vids which I had sworn I wasn't gonna do...

And my inital verdict based on these small pixellated glimpses? Surprisingly tres pleased! I've only watched I Alone and AOY so far but I actually didn't mind the quick-cut style editting in I Alone - really added to the drama of the song

As far all the criticism Ed's vocals have been copping - IMO they're much improved on the strained falsetto of the BOP/SFBM era shows (cough*Runaway*cough) - but seriously, what did people expect?!?! The TC-SS-TDTH days are long over, but I think he still manages to channel the intensity of some of those performances at times (Selling The Drama sounds partic-erly good).

On the other hand, I could do without the embarrassing "GOT! to have a two" crap

The most embarrassing moment though has to be at 2:32 of I Alone when he reaches out to grab a girl's hand and she doesn't grab back - "no-means-no style". I laughed my ass off
