Reader Reviews
This 4-disc package is only available at BestBuy...kinda weird...but it's worth having. It's the director's cut of the documentary on Tom and his band (on discs 1 & 2), signifying 30 years in the biz (1976 to 2006), 4 hours long, featuring great concert footage (even Traveling Wilburys and Bob Dylan co-headlining tour footage!!!), vidclips, current interviews with Tom and the band, along with the late George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Stevie Nicks, Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder, Rick Rubin, Denny Cordell, Jimmy Iovine, family members, the works, a 3rd DVD of the full 30th Anniversary concert in hometown Gainsville, Florida, and the 4th disc is a CD of 9 rarities, of unreleased songs and rare versions played in the movie... This sucker was released on Warner Bros...exclusively for BestBuy, like I said, weird...it is a lovely package...the only quibble I have is it completely overlooks the "She's The One" period...it has 4 cards signifying this release, and info on this book with offers for purchase and a matching T-shirt. I'm curious if people are aware of this release???
