Is that the same version that's on the Old Grey Whistle Test DVD? If yes...anybody who doesn't have that already should run out (well, to amazon.co.uk, at least) and pick up the import version. Stellar.

Volume II is almost as good, and has a wonderful extra in the running commentary track throughout the DVD, most of which is hilarious. The commentators rightfully rip Argent a new one for the whole *concept* of their performance of the excreble "God Gave Rock 'n Roll To You."

That was great, thanks! Love the funky feedback rave-up section at the end. Does anyone know when the heads began to conclude the song that way in concert? If I'm remembering correctly (and I could just be forgetting) the earlier live versions didn't have that nor do the later ones.

It may be the same, I dunno. I think the DVD was on Pedro's and I know someone who ripped it from there. I'll check it out later.
