loads of extras? well, let's think a little bit... the only two dvds that they produced with loads of extras was GVH2 and Wembley, that two ones are from 2003...since then...
I only expected the audio commentary from 2009 of bri, rog and bob harris

A direct mastertape transfer in high bitrate hardly requires a lot of work unless the tape is damaged (which it probably isn't). What I think they usually do is resize (upscale) to HD resolution, change some colours a bit, boost contrast, denoise, sharpen and there's your SD Blu-Ray. So I can't see what could have been improved there if they did this already years ago since denoising, sharpening and colour correcting etc are the most basic operations in a video editing software. Those aren't really the worst video issues that require the newest algorithms ;) The worst video problems come from higher generation VHS tapes (the worst of them being signal issues, re wobbly picture, which can only be fixed whilst doing the transfer with a TBC. No software can fix it in post) but they most likely don't even encounter problems like this since they have the best raw sources. In short - if they did this in 2009, I can't see them doing it again because it wouldn't look better as far as technical side, although it could only look better if the person who did it now was more competent in editing field than the one who did it in 2009 - give 2 people the same video and the same software and each video will come out slightly different. Sorry for the long post, I love brainstorming about video and editing.

Too bad it is not part of a three part concert package containing the 1979 concert and the 2012. What a wasted opportunity. Maybe a different edit of the show can be done one day. How bizarre that a show that is so similar to "Live At The Rainbow" is being released one year later. That also should have been part of a career compilation. Or dare I say only parts of it with a full release done some time later...now they will have what nothing outside of Hyde Park from the first half of the 1970's or maybe a bit of the concert from Japan in 1975, eh?

I am eager to know if they will throw an audio show with the release, like the March show of Rainbow. It can be glorious.

I think any new work will be with regard to the audio mix, not the video, especially as Jim Beach specifically thanked Kris and Justin (QPL's audio guys) in his speech.

Maybe they are not obligated to release every year for one concert, but this is the best they can do now.
Why release another boring compilation like the one that was released in 1989.
If you don't like what they're doing, you can do next: don't buy, don't download it, and don't look, you are not forced to do it.
Yes the concert is short,
Yes the set list is identical to the concert which was released a year ago. is this the only reason it was not necessary to do this?

To the people who think this concert is short or is a wasted release, look at it that way, this show was a Christmas show for the national television, something out of the ordinary.
Is like the UEFA Champions League final, that match is hardly the best game of the season but is the most memorable because is an special occasion.

Imagine now - after all the anticipation - only getting an interview with Harris and 3 tokyo 75 songs we've all seen as bonus :-) :-)
Hope the press release is there soon!
