Notes:

The Rock en Seine footage was broadcast in 16:9 letterboxed in a 4:3 display. I found this a little distracting so it was cropped and resized so that it displayed neatly on my WS TV. If you are only interested in proper DVB-S captures, set your BT client to ignore VTS_02_1 and reauthor to suit. Personally, I don't think there should be too many complaints about the image quality although the extra encoding has increased the overall file size. I've only added this footage here for want of somewhere else to use it!



An exciting and passionate performance by a band who I don't think I will ever tire of hearing. The NME wrote of their Reading appearance that the band lined up at the front of the stage looking like they were ready to take on everyone at the festival. I'd say they look ready to take on the world. Yeah, come on world, Bring It On!
