Much the same feeling that some people had at the re-recording of Edgar's Pinnacles.
Surely somone else made a better job of this concert, I always dreamed of owning a copy of this concert but now I just feel hollow!
I bought this knowing full well what the content was, thus avoiding this disappointment. It's still nice to have good quality images of this concert.
Hmmm I don't want to be critical of anyone (it's not aimed at anyone in particular), so excuse me for saying this, but I'm amazed that there are still a few people who didn't know what Tony Palmer did, that Ricochet was over dubbed etc etc. I know fans think it's a simple excercise to re-edit the footage into the complete concert (afterall, all you need is the original soundtrack), however this over looks that TP's film is 'the' finished product...this is how it was meant to be seen and how it was broadcast in Oct 3rd 1976 (BBC 2 8.15-8.45pm). The footage would never fit the real soundtrack because it was edited to Ricochet, and not only that, but very few shots are used. You'll note that several shots of the group are used again and again (long zooms on CF and modular, EF and Tron etc etc).
However if people feel ripped off, then I sympathise, afterall money is money.
