An hour on any channel is 46 minutes of content when you edit out the ads. And as to the question of whether it was shot in HD, this is 2011 so yes it was. I am very hopeful that this will get a Blu-Ray release and perhaps they will include the videos for Perform This Way and White & Nerdy with it as well as we have yet to see either video in its full intended quality.

And dont forget the polka video

It's actually more like 42-44 minutes, especially on the broadcast networks. Cable networks sometimes have about 20 minutes of commercials in a one-hour show.

That Wayne guy is was so awesome, he was totally stoked to meet Jeremy, it was pretty funny. Im pretty sure he said the DVD will be an hour and a half to like an hour and 45 minutes so that may include most of the set. After Jeremy's interveiw we went down to where Al was, he and Bermuda were already watching the footage on the lap top, that was neat to see. The shows were so amped up and the sound was perfect for most of the songs. I had tickets on the floor on each side, so the first show I could watch Jim most of the time and the next I could watch Steve. It was one awesome day and night. The first show was a little better for me 'cause I hadn't seen so many of those songs live yet and as mentioned earlier by Jeremy, the band was totally energetic and completely on their game. More people were at the second show and the crowd response was quite larger but for alot of the songs the vocals were better at the afternoon show, but they killed on both sets as they always do. I'll write up more a little later, when I get some more time!

What, did you have backstage passes?

if you were talking about viewing on Jons laptop after the 2nd show, thats not what they were doin, i saw you guys there, i was at the table with them, Jon was putting my pix from the 2nd show on the laptop so i could have my memory card back, and Al came over to talk to Jon about the dvd

there were ppl with passes after the 1st show, Jims family was there, i didnt stay for it i went to find something, i heard Al didnt come out,

Probably. Pretty much everything is shot in HD these days.

Glad Al's gonna get some Comedy Central exposure! Yeah!!

Yes! I really hope this means he'll be on The Daily Show and/or The Colbert Report. That would be my dreams come trues.

I love the Colbert Report!! If Al is on that show, they will make the best comedy duo I've ever seen on that show!! hope the DVD comes quick!!
