I thought the Four Flicks set was good value-- 4 DVDs (3 full concerts plus
a documentary) for 29.99.
And I remember being amazed the first time I heard that Tattoo You was
compiled from leftovers. It holds up. Side 2 especially was always a
favorite of mine. Am I remembering correctly that the older versions of
"Start Me Up" treated the tune as a reggae number?
