Has anyone got this excellent DVD? It's a live concert from 2004, recorded at Wembley Arena to celebrate 50 years of the Fender Stratocaster. It's like a veritable who's who of famous Strat users, ranging from David Gilmour, Joe Walsh, The Crickets, Gary Moore (not my scene...at all!), Ronnie Wood, and of course Hank and his son Ben. They do Flingel Bunt, Sleepwalk and Apache.
The only odd thing is that Brian May is also on it...!!!
It's great to sit down of an evening, crack open a few beers and watch the greatest guitar on planet earth being used by artistes with such contrasting playing styles (well, it's not often you'll see Gary Moore and Hank Marvin sharing the same stage, is it?).
Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case any of you didn't know it existed. It's worth having in your collection and it runs at a pretty decent 2 hours and 35 minutes.

I have it also. Picked it up a couple of years ago as I was passing through London. I've never seen it outside the UK.
The first half is excellent, but a lot of the later half I can quite comfortably skip. I suspect they were just getting hard up for material.
I'd never seen vision of Albert Lee play before. I'd have bought it for that one song alone!
I guess Brian May is there as he's a notable British guitarist. He does a credible job with the Crickets on a Strat anyway.

Has anyone got this excellent DVD? The more recent Blu-Ray version has some extras which are not on the DVD. Didier
