you bet it is.
I do get the impression from what I've read (it goes without saying, I didnt join this excuse for a fan club) that they did intend putting a DVD together, but it hasnt materialised. Who can tell?
I dont think you're going to get much on any DVD that isnt available easily to collectors anyway - unless you're the sort of fan who gets orgasmic about 'da boyz' being 'exclusively' interviewed and saying the same stuff theyve been saying in interviews for years.
no matter what way you look at, it sure as shit isnt worth $1, let alone $100.
On the last tour, it was handy for pre-sales for theatre shows. Thats about it.
Even at that, it was pot luck as you'd no idea exactly when the pre-sales would start - you'd just get an e-mail out of the blue that they were on sale, and if you were away from your PC at the time - tough shit (U2's fan club gave ample advance notice of the date and time of their pre-sales. Something I can only hope the Stones one does next time). The first I knew of the Astoria show going on sale was when I read someone post the info on Rocks Off. I got my e-mail about 30 minutes AFTER the sale started. Thankfully, I still got lucky. I'm sure others missed out.
