in a limited theatrical release, being billed as a Sneak Peek , a handful of screenings in theaters across the US, beginning on the eve on April 13th. A few screenings over the weekend and a few on Tuesday 4/20/2010 – which is also the release date of this deluxe DVD and 3 CD set.
I have a really awesome home theater. 5.1 sound, 7 foot high def projected image, and three recliners… really nice for DVD’s like this. And I like to “do a show” at home. Meaning, I pick a night to watch the DVD, and treat it like a show. We start early, have a beer or something, get molecular (aye, Commander!) and watch the first set. Take a short break, and watch set 2! It’s fun, and there are moments when you can let go and “be there”. I even have some limited dancing/twirling space in my apartment. Last time i did this was with the “Closing of Winterland” DVD release. So fun!
Still, doesn’t compare to seeing it with a few hundred people, and on a really big screen, and a biggeand better sound system. I imagine all the theaters hosting this one meet the minimum requirements of being kick ass (big screen, killer sound). As for dancing, depends on the theater I imagine…
