    The DVD's are excelent. The behind the sceens stuff is pretty decent as well. I remember sitting in all day watching the whole thing from start to finish. It was so brilliant. Robbie Williams made the whole thing as far as I'm concerned. His performance stood out.

    The Highlights for me were obviously "The WHO" & "Pink Floyd" and what made me laugh was that after Robbie was finished about Sixty thousand people left Hyde park and went home! therefore missing The Who and Floyd! (Mad or what). surely "Floyd" were the only show in town seeing as the last time they played together was twenty four years ago in 1981 ....................... You can see Robbie any time.
    (P.S. I recorded it on the day).

    I was there in London. What a day. I was looking forward to the Who the most, and they didn't dissapoint. U2, Pink Floyd, Sting, Paul McCartney were also highlights.
    The crowd didn't seem too interested in Velvet Revolver, which was a pity, because they're really good, but without a response, from the crowd, they can't be as good.
    They were way too into Robbie Williams (Who I hate).
    Lowlight was that prick, Peter Kay, signing that stupid Amarillo song, before the Who, and Ms Dynamite, who I didn't actually see, because half the crowd went to get a hot dog when she came on.

    They showed some of the other concerts on the screen when the stage was being set up in between bands, and the crowd even got into some of them, like Def Leppard and Green Day.

    The reason lots of people left after Robbie Williams was because the concert ran 2 hours too long, and they had to leave to get trains and stuff.
    Luckily I was staying nearby, and even if I had to get a flight, I would have stayed, and bought one for the next day. No way I'd miss The Who and Pink Floyd.
