This is a major improvement over the previously circulating 1dvdr version of this show. Professionally filmed by a single camera it gives an excellent overview of the stage. There are a number of tight close-ups, however the majority of the footage is shot without zoom, which captures the whole stage. The picture quality and sharpness of colour is much better on this version, however the footage still suffers the same problems as all others do (as they originate from the same source). The picture has a nasty habit of disappearing, which leaves you with audio only. It happens fairly infrequently, however the whole of 'Purple Rain' suffers this fate, as do some other small parts. Camille has decided to replace the blank screen with a Parade picture, and during the audio-only 'Purple Rain' we are treated to a slideshow of great 86 live pictures - an interesting, novel idea. The bonus footage is rather hit or miss, and the quality fluctuates greatly. The Minnesota Music Awards quality is pretty terrible and there are some serious picture problems. However the Rotterdam 17th August pro-filmed 86 footage (from Countdown on Dutch TV) MORE than makes up for it. At around 4 minutes it's short and sweet. Overall this 2DVD set is far superior in every way to the previous releases. Great menu's, improved quality footage, fantastic attention to detail and nice bonus material.
