Description

I'm sure that many people who are reading this are already in possession of the original (and leaner) release of this Live performance, which was released a couple of years ago. As one of those suckers who buys everything League related, I have to say that for this version to be given full marks (so far) is more than a little hasty.The performance itself is, of course, fantastic. It completes the League of Gents experience, with material that preceded the TV show as well as some old favourites given a new twist. It is absolutely essential if you weren't lucky enough to see them when they camemore… to your town.The original came with a few features: 2 extra scenes, a short audio track (from the radio series) and a screensaver. Added to this are now a commentary, documentary, gallery and movie clip. It sounds more impressive, but if you aren't a major fan of the league or aren't keen on stuff like commentaries, you could easily save a tenner and get the older one.The League COMMENTARY tracks are always funny and entertaining, but here they are obviously only referring to touring life and basically talk about thoughts and problems faced behind the scenes. By this I mean that there are very few insights into the world of Vasey, hardly any fascinating comments adding to the mythology of the show that we have heard on previous commentaries. Most of it is simply griping and joking around.The DOCUMENTARY is good, but is nothing more than Jeremy Dyson with a camcorder filming their last performance (in which they deviated greatly from the script). There's a talking heads section with Steve and Reece, which brings the running time to just 18 mins.The unremarkable photo gallery lasts for 2 mins and the movie clip is fairly pointless now that the movie is out.This new DVD is more expensive than the old one, for not too much extra. If you're a major fan or simply missed the first release, this edition is well worth getting. Everyone else might want to save a few quid with the old one or see if they can borrow this off a friend.
