You are not the first person who report the issue with Midnight Rambler for this DVD. I have two copies - from DVD/2CD combo and Superdeluxe. In the both cases the DVDs were pressed from the stamplers from the very same glass masterQuote

Only bugger is that during Midnight Rambler the DVD just quit playing, I heard some of you other guys had similar problems. Pretty daft to get the new Deluxe version finally and it quits playing

Matrix 1 DVD: (2X Universal Logo) 0874190 DK14145-01 manufactured by optimal media GmbH (R logo)
Matrix 2 DVD: DK14145-01_L1
Matrix Mastering SID Code: Inner and Outer Circle: IFPI L578
Matrix Mould Sid Code: IFPI 9747
The numbers are exactly the same. I.e. etched catalog numbers, SID mastering code (= the same Laser Beam Recorder), SID Mould code (= the same moulding machine at the pressing plant). The only difference is the label - blue/red vs. grey. But you do not play the label. No problems with playback.
Where exactly the problem occurs? Because, the analysis show that there is a switch between two files in the middle of MR (appr. 1h. 05min. 49-50sec. into the movie), just after Mick finished the verse (I'll split the time the cock'rel crows) and before the next one. Maybe your player just does not track the switch between VTS_02_3 and VTS_02_4 properly?
Judging the file sizes one can also assume this is the point where the laser of your player suppose to switch between two layers of this DVD (if they made the 1st layer ~3.68Gb and the 2nd ~4.42Gb).
If the latter is the issue you can randomly blame both - tracking system of your player and faulty DVD.

From my experience older DVD palyers poorly track this switch. Also the newer players lose this ability with time.

When I used to enjoy the Jointrip Atlantic city DVD I never realized Keith was playing the Sex Machine riff during the last verse of Undercover.

Not quite. Anyways, I noticed it right away, back when I got my TSP-bootleg back in the early 90. It suits the song nicely, imo.

Thought this was about the missing chapter from KR's "Life" autobiography...
Guess so. Just select YCAGWYW from the menu and play the rest of the concert.Quote

Cheers mate! Yeah, it quits around that mark. Do you think it is possible to skip MR and jump directly to the next tune? Which I suspect is YCAGWYW, but don't wanna know as I haven't watched my Jointrip version (which always worked fine btw) for years and wanna be surprised just like IRL

Usually that sh&t it happened only at the 'turning point' - a switch between two layers during playback. I learned it my way long time ago, when Four Flicks came out. I went to Best Buy a couple of times for exchange because DVDs 'froze' somewhere in the middle of all concerts. Only after that I realized that the problem might be not with discs but with player too.

Quite! As a bit of a science nerd, I started following the Journal of Irreproducible Results (now the Annals of Improbable Research) some years ago. A book was eventually produced, called ‘Sex As A Heap Of Malfunctioning Rubble.’ The title was itself a social experiment, to see if the book with the word ’sex’ in the title would sell better than their last book. It did. (Yeah, I bought it... shaddup! )
