    Everyone seems to have missed out the fact that this Deluxe edition carries all the Live tracks as free s via MP3. Sadly though they are only at 192kbps which is pretty disgraceful and unneccesary. Google searched as i forgot where they were on my harddrive with little help. Finally discovered again they were buried on the DVD put it in your computer for help on how to acquire them!!
