One year on - who's watching the Vegas DVD today?

I have it on now - complaints about the quality aside, that version of 1+1+1=3 is worth the price of admission alone...

I still dig it. Sometimes I have to remind myself it's not bootleg product, then I remember most bootlegs are better quality, and I press on.

I have no interest in watching this again. In fact, I don't really like having it on my DVD shelf . . .

I have it playing across the room, out of eyesight - the music is great. This is the best way to 'experience' this DVD - listening to it with only occasional glances at the screen.

That way it's just like a live CD. And not a bad one at that.

I'm still watching it most nights. I consider this one of the best Live vids/DVDs he has done. I enjoyed it that much that I bought 2 copies.

I can lend one out and still watch the other. 2 good to miss out!

Just watched The Ride - I've always loved that song, and this may be one of the best versions I've heard - glad he didn't overdo it with organs, which he's been known to do...

I watched it yesterday, I still can't get enough of it

The only complaint I have is that it's too short

I stick it on all the time and like booyah play it with the TV turned off. When I'm dancin’ round my living room keeping busy with other things. Having said that sometimes i sit with my popcorn and a beer or 6 and watch it avidly.

Is it really a year?

It only came out in August...it's been a year since the show was filmed. It's from last December.

Hey I was there and the DVD cannot and does not bring out the essence of the show that P put on. Yes I had my complaints about the show/aftershow, however I would go again in a heartbeat. I admit that the DVD isnt the greatest single DVD ever released but it is better quality than most DVD boots on the aftermarket. The bottom line was that for those of us that went the Vegas show, it was an amazing experience which was a perfect end to the ONA tour.


Besides the Vegas haters are just upset because they didnt get to go to the show. lol
