Seeing how disc 2 of the LZDVD played out, I can see
how '77 footage wouldn't have stood out as distict as
it does when there's a transition from Earls Court to
Knebworth.

Also, if '77 footage was put in, due to disc space,
wouldn't something had to have been sacrificed?  Or,
if something from '77 was chosen, there is the issue
of duplicating a song that is already being
represented from one of the other concerts.

Having said that, it would have been nice to get maybe
one track from the Seattle '77 recording in the extras
section.  I love the Achilles from that tour,
especially with the phased drum flourish leading into
it.  Or, how about Ten Years Gone, as a standalone in
the extras?  And now that I think about it, no Battle
Of Evermore.

We've been able to see a good quality clip of
Knebworth's Ten Years Gone for a while now, and some
have pointed out in the lead up to the DVD release,
after the setlist became known, that they were kinda
dissapointed it didn't make it in.  It could have
bumped Kashmir back to Earls Court, or Achilles to a
'77 concert, I think.  My only other wish is that
Tangering could have made it in somehow.
