Not sure about in the States but it is released on Eagle Rock in the UK and should be freely available in ALL record stores and on-line retailers.

I got it at HMV last night - already watched it. It was a pretty solid performance. There was some mixing issues on occasion - but a really good blu-ray over all. Top Yourself was a particularily good performance IMO.

Does it sound any good in surround mode or do you end up useing 2 channel?

It has dts-hd, which is what I used. It sounded pretty good most of the time. Didn't try the stereo mode.

Thanks, I'm going to try both. I was hoping the DTSHDMA sounded good.

I think the best deal on this was from Amazon. Got it on Monday but only got a chance to watch tonight--great show. (Though actually I thought last fall's shows were even better.) The camera-work and editing left something to be desired, though--Mark Watrous is great, but there's a limit to the number of closeups of his hands I want to see.

What local store?
(sorry -- missed this before) Newbury Comics. New England chain. Used to have a one-guy store here I loved but it closed. Newbury's treated me really well since then.

Got mine today through the mail - Blu from eBay for £10 uk which is the cheapest I have seen so far... UK Prices anyways which are on average double the USA prices

Mine is scheduled to arrive today, looking forward to reading the linear notes by Mr. Blackwell.

Watched this today. Great blu ray pic quality is perfect and a solid performance if nothing unexpected.
Would love to hear the Racs version of Ugly As I seem Blackwell mentions on the liner notes. Would make a perfect future vault release.

I absolutely enjoy this DVD, watched it 2 times already. That concert is just legendary, The Raconteurs have so much power, a perfect joint of great musicians. Sound and video of the recording is also superb.
I think it's great that they brought this out, I saw some short clips of the concert in some place, I think it was in the movie "It might get loud" and since then have been looking for good quality live recordings of the band. Sadly enough I haven't found much. This DVD really was a treat!
Regards.

4 individual videos on iTunes.
When I saw this I thought it was the whole live set to download but iTunes screwed up again.
