I have this saved in HD on my DVR. Another wonderful HBO series.

Just watched it over the weekend. Really enjoyed it, very well done. I was surprised how much some of the footage was new to me. I will be getting the Blu-Ray box.

I bought the deluxe box today at J&R. Why do I do these things?

Stop me before I shop again.

I liked watching this series on HBO but I doubt I would watch it very often (if at all) so I passed on this one. I have my collecting gene in full control these days. :)

I just got this a few days ago and found time to watch the first 45 minutes or so the other night. I didn't see in on HBO, so it's new to me. Pretty great stuff, very nicely done. I loved the clip of George (maybe '68, '69, or '70?) watching a clip of an early Beatles performance in what appears to be an editing room. Just seeing the look on his face and hearing his comments was priceless.

Ok, so now that I bought the DVD and CD I took a look at the deluxe edition at Best Buy where I notice the DVD and BlueRay has something like SIX bonus features exclusive only to the deluxe box. Can anyone here provide details on what the DVD has that the regular version of the DVD does not have?

Well I didn't buy this but guess who did buy it for me? Yep, my wife for our anniversary. :D Oh well, I tried to control the DVD/ Blu-ray purchases.

Quote:
The Deluxe Edition contains the film on two DVDs, and a single-disc Blu-ray. Both have eleven bonus features, including six (not specifically indicated on the packaging) that are not on the standard DVD or Blu-ray release.

The four musical features are: 1) George playing his ukelele to (it sounds like) the old standard "A Shine on Your Shoes" (uncredited); 2) a soundcheck of the B-side "Deep Blue" from the Concert for Bangladesh; 3) a segment from Abbey Road Studios where George Martin and son Giles "break down" the master of "Here Comes The Sun," much to the delight of Dhani Harrison; and 4) a Shankar Family and Friends instrumental called "Dispute and Violence," recorded live during the 1974 U.S. tour.

The seven interview segments include pieces on George's growing up in Liverpool, George describing the origins of the poem "The Inner Light," which became the basis for his first Beatles B-side, and interviews with Paul McCartney, Neil Aspinall, Jeff Lynne, and race car drivers Gordon Murray and Damon Hill.
