Does anyone know if the dvd is all region or NTSC?

[bulucette]

from jansen site: 'in NTSC format, Region All (or zero). almost all dvd players will play NTSC dvd's as long as they are not region encoded as in this case. if you are in any doubt please check the specification of your dvd player'.

Well, I can tell you I have no problem to view it with my DivX/DVD Player

[fahnke]

This version of the song is, in my opinion, the most touching, beautiful and interesting. The video backdrop is beautiful yet slightly challenging. The piece itself is deserving of serious attention, and Sylvian's voice is in its top form here.

Musicianship, creativity, sensitivity, elegance, beauty. They are all here. Thank you Jansen and Sylvian, you wonderful brothers, for doing what you do. You are indeed appreciated, and by people such as yourselves.

[Maxiclaudi]

What a great rendition of a most beautiful track. Thank you!

[FilTonks]

I adore this.

bellissima....

[STONEBEADMAKER]

So tastefully done, thoughtful,sensitive,visually clean........virtually everything these brothers have ever produced is all absolutely brilliant, particularly in a musical universe so brim full of hugely UNINSPIRED sounds that make middle of the road ''musicians''vastly famous......... Thank you Steve and David for continueing to create the amazing epiphanies that Japan first served up to me over twenty years ago.EVERYTHING on the Samadhisound label is richly deserving of praise.

[FerranK68]

Wonderful work by Jansen. Iove both versions. "Slope" is so beauty...

[jasonwhiton]

Received my DVD today from Samadhisound and it plays perfectly on my US/region 1 PS3 dvd/blu-ray player. (Great concert footage, Steve!) Thanks again. -jace
