Advantages: Visual + Audio Showcase of a live session
Disadvantages: Could of been more of the show on the 2nd DVD

...What an excellent DVD. Comes in 2 DVD edition, but the 2nd DVD is more the 'Making of' type of thing that you generally get in a 2 DVD set. The first DVD - is the actual show that went on in Gelredome Arnhem on 29/30th October 2004. 25,000 tickets were sold for this show, one of the largest in the world to attend to watch / listen to just 1 single DJ. The actual event itself lasted for approx 8 hours, with a cut down 200 mins on the first DVD of the actual show. If you like DJ Tiesto, then I highly recommend getting this DVD, especially if you have your DVD player linked to your AV Receiver / Surround Sound System, will sound truley amazing. Go and get yourself a copy from your local store.... Read review

Advantages: Has got many stars and has great subject.
Disadvantages: none.

...This film is a great adaptation from Cornelius Ryan best-seller.Its director Richard Attenborough well organize and take wonderful scenes of war and invasion with parachutes.Although he works with too many premium stars,he knows how to distribute roles with justice.When watching it you can't say about one of the actor that he plays badly.All of them give their great act style to the movie.The story is the war of Arnhem.At the nearly end of the war,at 1944,the Allied forces plan to end the war by capturing six bridges connecting Holland to Germany.This is Montgomery's plan.Could it work?You'll see at the end if you don't know the history.
