I think it's fantastic. I watched the Austin concert last night and it truly blew me away. The performance is very good and the superb mixing makes it sound as powerful a live record as any I have heard. The guitars sound, in particular, is quite riveting. Some rather aggressive overdubbing might have helped quite a bit (the show is immeasurably better than anything else I have seen on this tour), but my rule of thumb on these matters is analogous to the old wisdom about fake tits: it's real if I can hear it.
The Salt of the Earth documentary rambles rather aimlessly, but it does contain a number of interesting nuggets - particularly about the logistics of the tour. While the documentary in 4 Flicks was focused mostly on the preparation of the tour, this one is on the behind the scenes work required to make everything go smoothly. A bit repetitive and esoteric for the casual fan, but the casual fan probably won't buy the dvd anyway.
