Yes, there are two versions *that I know of* circulating around the intarwebs. Both are unofficial, fan made discs, created from the VHS tape release. The most recent/common DVD floating around is, unfortunately, made from an .AVI encode of the VHS (which was floating around earlier), and THEN 'upcoded' to DVD format. The quality is watchable but not nearly as good as the other, rarer version, which is a straight VHS->DVD encode.

Thanks Krok !

It's so wierd that something so great is not on DVD.

Same as Dylans 30th anniversary concert.

Thanks for the clarification.

I have really grown to Love Tom waits even more than I used to.

really funny too!

Cheers. BB.
