The 'Dark Songs' might have been missing in an attempt to be as mainstream as possible. This is a band that was just turning the corner from the difficult and messy end of the 70s. 'Love You Live' was mediocre. Keith busted. The '78 Tour was critically panned in Rolling Stone magazine, as was the 'Some Girls' album before Jann stepped in to make nice. In retrospect the '81 Tour looks like they wanted to cash in at the biggest level possible. This was the first commercially sponsored tour (Jovan). They had their last big hit, 'Start Me Up', and the album had a lot of crossover appeal with 'Waiting On A Friend'. They seemed to arrive in the guise of innocent 50s rock and rollers. Cover selections like 'Going to a Go Go' and '20 Flight Rock' gave the tour a Beach Boysy, summer good time with the Rolling Stones. It was fun at the time, but shallow. But, it helped solidify their reputation and pocketbooks.

Just be aware that if you're looking for live ROIO dvd's,I've had bad luck with a certain someone. I purchased many dvd boots from this certain someone over the last few years and the dvd-r's have become suddenly unplayable in all of my dvd players (cheap dvd-r's)?
As Keef would say "that's the price of an education"!

It's nice that this is out in DVD but the audio runs fast. The old official VHS copies run at the right speed.

I agrre that the VHS to DVD transfer is the better option. For those questioning how we know it is evident that the sound is sped up:
Shattered and Neighbors are in the key of E. But on the DVD release these songs play at least a half step faster (probably they sound in the key of F on the DVD but I haven't checked with a guitar). Believe us, they are definitely sped up on the DVD.

I have the original vhs and yes the sound is sped up and the picture is chopped all to hell, so to a true fan it's a useless release unless you like the menus. At least I've still got the vhs to dvd transfer, and the audio ripped from vhs sounds much better than this new dvd. Much better stereo separation and clarity.
And what's up with the "special" features like the trailer, I can't find them anywhere.

Perhaps to simulate a faster show/excitement in the music? Or maybe there were time restraints and needed to speed up songs? Whatever reason...it's a crap idea.
Just finished watching it again and I came away with more respect for the film. Removing any other bootleg videos out there...from a perspective of a consumer...they have some great material to choose from now---finally! I think we should be proud that LSTNT is out there.

I swear I saw a high-def version on the Palladia cable channel a few months ago. It blew me away, and I'd like to get that version, and it sounds like this DVD doesn't cut it.

You did, I saw it too. So where's the Blu-ray?

I didn't check the running time compared to the old VHS but the new DVD is definitely more sped up. It's the first thing I noticed when UMT started and then I skipped to each song and sure enough, all are too fast.
