i picked up vol. 2 the other day, and immediately watched the first disc, mostly to see a clean version of ATTACK OF THE PHANTOMS.
and wow, that was a new movie! it's 10 minutes shorter, more or less, different songs, mostly in the background, from the solo albums and new effects for some scenes. it's definitely an improvement, much as i love the version i'm used to. great to have it in this quality, finally.
the rest of the set is interesting. i've been listening to the commentary- just Gene and Paul, of course, which is a bummer that Ace and Peter aren't involved, but not that surprising. granted, Peter wasn't around too much for this phase of the band (78-91) but still, he should be there.
i do think they should have kept it from say, 78-81 or even 83, right up to taking the makeup off. there's a lot of media from Dynasty missing, and there could be more Elder stuff.
best to leave 'em wanting more, i suppose.
