As usual, I've owned beaucoup copies of this. It IS the greatest concert film ever done! I do own and love Monterey Pop and Woodstock, which I've owned lots of copies of, as well. I didn't realize when I bought my 3-LP set as a new release for $6 that I'd GLADLY spend so much money re-acquiring it. I've owned LP, CED (RCA videodisc), CD, DVD, DVD-A, 4CD box and a Blu-Ray of this. Guess I missed the cassette, stereo-8 and VHS. As instructed in the opening frames, "This film should be played LOUD!"
You can't beat the Band w/Zim, Clapton, Joni, Muddy Waters, Staples, Van the Man, Emmylou, Ringo, Diamond, Young, Rebennac, Butter and the Hawk! YOU KNOW YOU NEED IT!!! It's the Band at their best!
There isn't a great deal going on in the rear. Blu-Ray is the hot tickets for this title. The DVD-A seems to be a slightly different mix. The 4CD box is for completists, like me.
Richard Manuel and Rick Danko live on through this work.
A bit off topic, but make sure you p/u Robbie Robertson's "How to Become Clairvoyant" on CD. Clapton guests on 7 tracks.

I'm not that hot on the fidelity of the Mofi SACD 2ch Band reissues.
