I read the same thing-probably a November release.

This is a fantastic release and I highly recommend it to any collector. It features superb sound, a superb video presentation with excellent editing, and captures an awesome performance. I own DVDs of this show on three other labels (3rd Eye, EV, and Genuine Masters)…. this is by far the most enjoyable in all aspects. I hope that an official version of this magnificent show is released soon on Blu-ray in surround sound. I would say that this is the next best thing.

to those who made this: THANK YOU!
i was very glad to hear the storm london audio in the video. to me it sounded the most like being there. i suppose its the woman constantly yelling for jimmy page that sealed my decision.
the audio/video editing is first class.
i have to wonder though if we will see another video/version later with clearer video.
if you havent seen it, some video, possibly from one or two camers was A LITTLE blurry or grain/static at times.
however, the video is VERY watchable due to the master mixer who made this. this is the best quality yet.
thanks again,
A MUST HAVE!!!!!!

Audio on the original Dual Layer torrent was the Beelzebub ‘Storm London’ source.

Thanks for the info, Hager & gsparaco. Personally I find the audio more important when watching a DVD than the video, hence my question.

Dittos for Hager’s comment. I’m not sure which excellent source is used, but it’s really academic. It does sound fantastic and the sync job is absolutely perfect. This has been in production for more than a year with a lot of work put into it, and it shows.

No clue about the audio source, oldman24, but was giving this a continued view/listen last night and realized again how nice and full the audio is with the video. Synching the images to the sound is oftentimes a bummer for me when it’s off, and it’s dead-on with this release. The fantastic audio only enhances the overall entertainment value of this production.

@Hager
Do you know which of the 7 or 8 audio sources for this show has been used?

Nice review – I own the original 3rd Eye version that came out weeks after this show. It has it’s up’s and down’s…Given your review I may seek this title out only becuase the O2 arena was a superb setting for this concert. It is true that is was great to hear and see this band perform again it probably was not as good a performance as some of the Page/Plant pro shot DVDs that are available – just my opinion! Kashmir was my favorite of the O2 concert.

An excellent review of a truly excellent production. There can be no fair comparison between this release and any prior footage of the O2 concert. First, the visuals command your full attention and are near flawless. Close-ups, numerous great angles from the front row as well as a few rows back sidestage, all hooked me immediately and kept my close attention throughout the vieweing. It’s that good, and so is the audio. As compared to the fine recordings that were previously released on CD, the audio accompanying this title – which is matched superbly to the visuals, a huge plus – has deep, rumbling bottom end at the same time you’re clearly hearing Bonham’s hi-hat work. All in all, this is a definitive presentation of the O2 concert that will likely remain that way regardless of any release of footage from that concert. One interesting final point for those who’ve obtained an original of this release is that its artwork is a wonderful 2-sided insert. On its backside is an expansive, overhead shot that captured Jason bowing on his knees, on stage, to Jones, Page & Plant, in true “I’m not worthy” deference. Given his lifetime dream of playing this concert, the picture’s quite precious. I would not have known of it, though, because the case issued with this title is the familiar solid black version. A clear DVD case would allow a collector to view both sides of the very tasteful artwork.
