Downloaded just fine. Thank you very much. Not as bad as I expected, but the producers never allow the music to speak for itself, everything is chopped up. The only clip of interest to me was the Bath Festival with full orchestra, but the quality was poor and the clip was too short to be musically significant.

I appreciate that this website has openly warned its readers as to the mediocrity of this so-called 'Great Gig Box' series.

Read Dr. Forrester's comment for the Umma disk from this set, where he states: "I absolutely agree with you. To be totally, brutally honest, I think that most of these documentary DVDs that I have been posting recently are pretty terrible. Oh, there are bright spots here & there. But, overall, in my view, they are a pathetic attempt to pull some $$ from the pockets of the fans. ... which, of course, is why I have been posting them here."
