Almost unacceptably short, but I got it at a good price at Wal-Mart (like $7), and I was quite curious to hear what this sounded like.  I think the acoustic version of "South Side of the Sky" is the highlight (Howe plays a Dobro and gives it a country flavor).

The problem is, Yes did pretty much this same acoustic set on Songs from Tsongas, so it almost makes it redundant.  I really wish they had done a proper acoustic concert, and by that I mean taking their more adventurous pieces and recreating them.  How impressive would it have been to see an acoustic "Close to the Edge" or "Starship Trooper?"  "Siberian Khatru" done unplugged would have been amazing as well.

One other thing is that this DVD is practically an advertisement for Yesspeak, since it includes like 5 different commercials for that program as "bonus" material.

However, the behind the scenes bonus feature is very funny.  Rick picks on Chris so much.  LOL

Indeed. I wished it was longer. Ouch I paid about less than 10 EUR for it, and one should not pay more. But I think it is still worth getting it. The versions of the songs are really special and I laughed my head off of RWs comments.

Maybe it could be added that there is also this 30-minutes behind-the-scenes documentary narrated by RW?

Sure...why not?

I don't have extra tracks.  The bonus feature is a long behind-the-scenes look narrated by Rick Wakeman, during which they do play some of these pieces in part (I know for sure "Blue Moon" is in there and I vaguely recall "The Stripper" as well).  But to label these as separate tracks in the main feature (or to list them at all) is quite misleading.

I've been looking all over and can't find a tracklisting for the version that we and Wiki have. For now I will edit and save the old info just in case it something extra in a later release.

I'll save it here actually in case My Pc explodes killing me at the same time.

1. Tiger Rag
2. Long Distance Runaround
3. South Side of the Sky
4. Show Me
5. Roundabout
6. Time is Time
7. Intersection Blues
8. I've Seen All Good People
9. The Lady is a Tramp
10. The Stripper
11. Blue Moon
12. Things Ain't What They Used to Be
13. Whispering


Total Time: Approx 65:00
38 minutes (excluding special features)

The track listing we have here seems to be the same as that listed on Wikipedia.  Nothing else I can find seems to show extra tracks during the main set, and my thought is that these are snippets heard during the behind-the-scenes bonus feature, because I know they play "Blue Moon" in that.

So I'd say our track listing here (and the one on Wikipedia, for that matter) are not accurate and should be revised.

Any news on this? Just wanted to know if I own a shortened version of the DVD Ermm.
Does anyone own the DVD with all titles?

And then our PA site says:

Total Time: Approx 65:00
38 minutes (excluding special features)

which would be more or less correct if it were the 7 track version (but not for the 13 track, that would be too short.)

On my 7-track version DVD it says (and the times are correct):

Total Time 67 minutes
37 minutes (excluding special features)

There were some re-releases of this DVD, so possibly few of them have bonuses:

Wikipedia shows 13 tracks for this album, and some other sources - 7 only
