The subject line says it all. After hearing all of you rave about the Hammersmith Odeon concert video, I happened upon it at a local video store. Not just any video store mind you, but a LASER video store. Yep, it's true. I found a Japanese release of Hammersmith on laser. Did I buy it instantly? Yes. Did I pay through the nose? Yes. Do I care? Nope! Seriously, I'm very impressed with it, and the picture quality is excellent by videotape standards, but only fair by laser standards. I bought it mostly since I hadn't seen it anywhere else, and certainly not on laser. Got hit for about $50. The clerk said that the only reason they had it was that the owner is a fan, and bought a copy especially for himself. He bought the second while he was buying the first just for kicks. Serendipity at its best, eh?
