i wish i could have seen it myself. i don't think the film really captures
the full magnificence of the event though, but that could also be as it's
edited basically compared to todays fast/digital editing that can make
almost anything seem more exciting. if the original negatives have went
missing it would be a problem if they wanted to re-edit from scratch. i dont
think there are any shots from far back to show the audience and the scale
of things as it doesn't seem to have been shot for release on video or
showing on tv as it was a bit early for that, and they had plans to make a
different kind of movie, thus it wasn't filmed to be released as a full
concert movie, and that would explain the shots/direction, which leads to
the final cut (see what i did there) not being of todays quality standards
