On the official DS page an UK version of the 3CD and 5LP set is announced:

Does someone what the difference is to the standard versions?

Because of the Brexit, European buying items from the UK would have to pay custom taxes, and same the other way, so they have two shops, one for UK and one for Europe. Don't they have another for the US?

Thanks for the tip! Listening now. For the band just a normal day at the office, but what a version!

Top class version, the band at their peak.

I love how clear Jack Sonni’s guitar is in the mix. Alchemy is amazing but I always thought Hal’s guitar could’ve been a little louder.

Sounds great but makes me remember why I love Wembley 85 so much - Mark's voice sounds much better at the Wembley show from my point of view. But it's all on the same high level of course.

Easily best officially released version.  Uploading the key track will hurt sales of the box though.  Curious decision.

Good mix now.  In the bootlegs the sax was too high in the mix, especially toward the end.  Now it sounds more balanced.

I don't know if it is hearing deficiency but the keyboard on the first half is low and this is a great decision to have mixed it that way.

Mark guitar upfront in the mix is all the essence of that song IMHO.

Wow... such energy. Blown away to be honest.

Hearing this gig in a completely different way. The solo section is insane, drums and guitar in unison and the breakdown and subsequent buildup is sublime.

I promised myself that I would not listen to this concert. Not until May 16 from the official album. I know only Walk Of life:) I need to relive it again in May.

What guitar was he playing (red Schecter?) Again, the guitar at Wembley sounded much better. Also I miss to have the wonderful So Far Away from Wembley as official mix...
