!!!!INCREDIBLE!!!! This movie is GREAT!!! They did a great job in restoring the colors to the original vivid hues that were being worn at the time. They have additional crowd footage that is also as great. Try to get a hold of your own copy today!!! Check out www.bmgjapan.com for details. I picked mine up at a record show. Make sure you get the VHS format otherwise you will have a very expensive video that you can't watch because it is in the Euro or Japanese format.
