No not the Wembley Stadium one (we have had that for years / Blastin) I mean the version with the monks in MN. The song stops right after they kick in, in the video after the interview and the chanting. I was curious if we get the entire song on that show in this new package

Missed opportunity. They indeed should’ve included the Toronto gig on Blu-ray. Pristine recording and sound engineered by Erwin Musper. Doesn’t get better than that.

Your correct the Toronto show would have been good but also the Irvine, CA show would have been a good choice… I actually like that one (pro shot on YouTube) better than Toronto and Ed was playing the red PV Wolfgang

While I also like the Irvine one better (Sam & Mike are in good spirits, after a few drinks), the Toronto gig was sound engineered by Erwin Musper. That gig, on Blu-ray, would’ve been the best recorded pro shot concert we would ever hear and see of VH. So I’m not talking about the performance itself, but of the quality of the recording.

I was at that Irvine show. The last concert I attended before transferring to Japan a few weeks later.

You can see Sammy taking hold of my son during the show, too.

I too am disappointed in the Balance box set. The audio concert is incomplete. From what I see, Right Now wasn’t played either night at the Wembley shows. Could have been missed and not included in the set list posting. The order of the live songs is different in the box set as well. I feel they could have at least included a whole show. It does sound good, and I am happy to get anything new. Just kind of a letdown IMO.

Being there on the Saturday as per Box set, Right Now was played. The box set is def not complete and not in order. This was a mere 60m show at its best. They did do CSLY on the Sunday tho!

Thank you for the clarification as to whether they played Right Now at the Wembley concert. Cool that you were at the show!

It must have been a short deal or something because I just looked and it’s only priced at $51.04. I didn’t see a coupon for in the price area for $15.32.
