Format:DVD
Having attended the concert, I was keen to get the DVD as a momento of the show, and it provides a good representation of what happened on the night. Overall a great gig, with Gary Moore, Joe Walsh and Dave Gilmour providing the showcase performances that befit the type of event this was intended to be.
There are numerous questions to ask, however:-
Why Jamie Cullum and Ami Winehouse were included on the bill I'll never know, especially the latter, who was given far more time to bore the audience with her dreadful performance than Gary Moore, who set the place alight with his one song (Red House). Gary should have had far more time ... he opitomised the sort of dynamic, exciting guitar playing that the audience came expecting to see.
Why was Paul Rogers, as great a singer as he is, allowed to drag his kids on stage to bore the audience with some of their own (poor) material ..what have they done to contribute to the esteemed history of the Strat?
Why did Brian May revert to his own guitar instead of sticking to the Strat, bearing in mind the show was a celebration of the Strat after all!!?? A bit of an insult in my opinion.
Why did Jeff Beck not turn up? Many people, including myself, bought tickets on the promise he would be playing.
Overall, buy the DVD for the great performances, which thankfully outnumber the duff moments.

Format:DVD
Given that the title of this DVD includes the words "50th Anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster" I was expecting to see artists associated with this iconic instrument so the inclusion of Jamie Cullum and Amy Winehouse I found bewildering & disappointing. Also, some historical or anecdotal stuff about this famous intrument - from the players, perhaps - would have been nice. It was, after all, the Strat's anniversary! Notwithstanding, a good buy for guitar fans even if a few fast forwards are required.

Format:Blu-ray
This is superb concert that I can enjoy watching from start to finish or just dip in and out to my favourite parts.
I have owned the DVD version of this for a couple of years now and many of my friends have bought it too. I managed to borrow the Bluray version to compare it to the DVD and frankly it isn't worth it the upgrade if you already have the DVD. A good upscaling DVD player will give you a similar picture and the only real benefit with this title on Bluray is DTS HD Master Audio, which isn't noticeably better than the standard DTS soundtrack on the DVD.
If you don't own the DVD, get the Bluray but if you are considering the upgrade, I personally wouldn't bother.

The strat pack fails
Interested as I am in the famous Stratocaster and its players, I of course bought this Blu Ray (DVD). To cut a long story short: only the comments about the guitar are of value. Read more
