This is the 30th anniversary live performance of Lord's Concerto. It includes many excellent guests and tracks. There is a video & DVD of the event, too. Note, however, that there are different versions of this floating around. The initial US release has an MPEG-video of "Ted The Mechanic" stacked at the end, while the European one has "Smoke On The Water". Both of these lack the audio version of "Night Meets Light". Later releases have no MPEG, but instead the extra audio track, a screensaver as well as a European tour poster. Limited edition only.

Don't forget to read our special feature about it.
