Review of the video.
(for the 2CD see the Live Wired page)

Well if you are lucky enough to get the limited edition box set then you also get this excellent video which consists of 13 live tracks and 6 promo videos, interspersed with an interview with Bill and Rhys.
The live stuff is full of zooming cameras and digital effects that may be a bit offputting to some, but I think it would have looked a bit tame without it. Sound quality is not so hot, certainly not as good as the cd, but then I don't have a really good video, it may be better on a proper system.
After every few tracks is a section of the interview with Bill and Rhys appearing on tv screens in a darkened room, with 'Destructive Transformation' as the background music, telling us about how they work together and their influences etc. Not really anything we didn't already know, but it's good to actually hear the guys talk. There's also the promo videos which are great because I'd only seen a few of them before. Tragically though 'Mindphaser' isn't included, this is a real shame as it's an amazing video.
