Update - it FINALLY arrive today! Only watched enough to see that they did indeed catch Paul pointing at me at the end of WATC. Joy! Anxious to see if it's as good as people have been saying :-)
Hello all,
Any chance someone would be able to trade with me and send a copy of the dvd to me??
Email me if you can

If I can get my stupid-arse DVD burner to work right I'd be willing to swap...
For those who have the NJ disc, does your audio lag about 1-2 seconds behind the visual, starting about halfway through disc 1?
Maybe not that much of a lag, but it is definitely noticable, which is slightly annoying. However, that seems to be the case with bootlegs - i've seen other shows that are exactly the same way.
The other thing I noticed - I don't know that it's actually a "2 camera" shot, as they said. I think they just switch back and forth between shooting the jumbo screens that they had set up for the show and then shooting the action on the stage. At least that's what I've concluded. Any thoughts on that?

There are two cameras used for most of the concert.
Yeah, the first 5 songs are from a single camera, the 2nd picks up at Bad Company...
Thanks guys - I'll pay more attention next time I watch :-)

I would agree

The lag comes from the distance of the camera to the stage. Light travels faster than sound, therefore you have delay towers in big venues. Even in a hall there is a slight delay of the sound when you film from far away with an amateur camera.
I'm well aware of this law of physics. However, for this show, the excessive delay does not start until partway through disc one. It's as though they took an audio recording and began adding it to the video at this point, without any 'quality control'. I'd expect this type of normal delay if the guy was in the far endzone of Wembley Stadium, but this was a hockey/basketball arena.
Look, we're delighted to have the show. Just wish it would have been sent when promised, insured (since we paid for it), a Queen fan would have taped it, started disc 2 with BoRhap, and kept the tape going for GSTQ.
A question for those with European boots....what's the best one available?

It is hardly an excessive delay. It is not even a 1 second delay. Most people will probably not even notice the VERY slight delay.
Did you really expect to get quality control from a bootlegger? They can't even spell the name of venue correctly on the cover they mailed with the DVD. You should be thankful that they had enough intelligence to transfer the concert from tape to DVD in the first place.
I personally don't understand the complaints.
