Anybody heard or seen this? Found it on petetownshend.co.uk site. It says VHS DVD. That worries me.
Extracted from the Who site.
The Who
The Vegas Job
The Who, one of the most influential, exciting and indeed greatest rock 'n' roll bands in history, performed live at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle (with Ringo's son Zak Starkey on drums) were in fine form 'no horns, no background singers, no concept albums' as one rapturous critic was moved to comment - and gave a blistering 90 minute set comprising all their legendary numbers, from Substitute to My Generation.
Now providing a unique tribute to an extraordinary talent, DVD UK Ltd is delighted to announce a 3 November release date for 'The Who - The Vegas Job'.
'The Vegas Job' is pure rock 'n' roll on stage with a behind-the-scenes story that reads like a Hollywood movie script. 1999 was the time of the high-flying Internet-craze and companies were going to unusual measures to gain the attention of the public. One Internet Company, Pixelon.com, claimed it had invented a revolutionary method to deliver television-like images to the computer screens of anyone in the world with an Internet connection. To show off its technology, Pixelon.com rented out the entire MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and threw a $16,000,000 party that was headed by The Who and included such world famous performers as Tony Bennett, Natalie Cole, KISS, Faith Hill, The Dixie Chicks, The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Sugar Ray, LeAnn Rimes and Chely Wright.
After the concert however, it was discovered that Pixelon.com's revolutionary technology was bogus. The concert that was supposed to have been seen by an audience of one billion around the world had been seen only by those lucky fans in attendance.
Now at last is it is being made available in this unique Collector's Edition DVD for the rest of the world to enjoy.
Available in DTS Surround Sound and Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound, bonus features comprise interviews with Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle; interactive motion menus; a 35 minute Making Of featurette and fan interviews.
