The Show: The first real "leg" of the Room Service tour started in October in the UK. The third show on the leg was in Newcastle in the middle part of England. THe incredible thing about touring in a densely populated area such as the UK is the minimal amount of travel between shows. The night before, the band played in Manchester which is only about 45 miles/73kms from Newcastle. As usual in the UK, they eat BA up from start to finish and he delivers again in Newcastle. Bonus tracks for this DVD feature two songs recorded from the front row of the Coventry, England show on September 23, 2005.
For the bonus tracks, the two newest songs just added to the set lists are All I Want Is You and Why Do You Have to Be So Hard to Love. How's that for recording the newest material? The Recording: All footage was filmed in .mov format which best viewed on small screen on your computer. When put onto DVD, especially when you watch it on a larger screen such as your televistion, the footage is "stretched" to fit your TVs. However...if you watch it on your computer and shrink the viewing screen, you will recapture the higher quality of the original format. |
