@ Vicki and Deena: lol, that's what I thought - Alice in Wonderland! I thought Ginny was wonderful btw; I loved her soulful violin.

I don't have a "review" just because I've been way too busy, but the DVD certainly deserves that, and thanks to Chris for his review :)

I loved Guilty Pleasure, and thought the picture quality and lighting were great! I just have an ordinary TV set, a big old Sony with a picture tube, lol, but the DVD played sharp and clear on it!

And the show itself is wonderful!! Meat sounds great, and it's so good to get these songs on a DVD, such as Boneyard, although it's been changed since AU. Meat always improves things as he goes along :)

For me it's so true that this DVD is the next-best thing to being there. It has that feel, that heart-stopping excitement of standing at the stage, that upon 1st watching made me half forget I was watching a video. I was just telling a friend today that there was a bit at the beginning of Paradise that I LOVED and it didn't even occur to me to grab the remote and see the bit again, like I normally would!

I don't know if that "you are there" feel is because of the lighting or the way it was filmed. I did love the way it was filmed/edited! Whoever put it together picked out really excellent moments not just for Meat but for all the band members, which makes it a very "personal" video. This alone sets Guilty Pleasure apart from any previous DVD imo.

The censoring during Paradise was annoying but I think someone went to some trouble to minimize the annoyance. The f**k yous sounded a little like they were through a kazoo to me. An actual "bleep" or even a dead spot would have been much worse. If they were forced to censor it, they at least did their best to make it ok.

I just saw Concert One's EPK Clip 05 tonight, with Meat and Patti (his rock) and I loved it, it was so sweet, and I'm both sorry and mystified about its omission from the final product.

I've only seen Guilty Pleasure once (including the documentary) but I will definitely watch it many, many more times! :)

P.S. thanks to Mel for your comments about the Sydney show; there's no substitute for seeing the live show :)
