Yes I thought that as I was typing it.
It does make Academy impossible to watch more than a few times in a decade.
I hope the interviews are removable in some way. They'll fuck up a perfectly good concert video if they really are spread between the songs.

Well I for one am glad they're releasing old material. I was too young to attend the gigs in the '80s and this is the only way I can see them the way they were then. I'm ecstatic about this, yet there will always be people who complain.
Are most of the concerts on the bonus disc available as mixing desk audio's ? If so, I wonder if the bonus disc has remastered sound. Most of the amateur shot New Order concert footage is good fun apart from the tinny camcorder sound.

Celebration was a TV broadcast, so were parts of the Wireless festival. Toronto was shot by Paul Boyd and the band provided him with a stereo board feed. Don't know about the rest but I think they wouldn't put out anything too shabby.

Don't get me wrong, I am pleased when old material is released, what I don't care about is when bands and/or record labels keep shuffling around the material and calling it a new release. In the case of NO or JD (both of which I like) how many versions of a song do we need in our collections. If the band is low on cash (which I doubt) create something that is new and I'll buy it.

But this is not new versions of songs, they're live gigs which are quite a different thing and totally worth it IMO.

Preordered this bugger twice before. Doing fuck all this time until release day, even if it means missing the bonus CD.
Sounds pretty hot; Sold; if it ever makes an appearance here.
Spoiler alert: Barney looks at the autocue.
