The songs are the SAME versions as on the BACK IN THE US CD except for the following:

MICHELLE: MEXICO CITY, NOV 3, 2002

HEY
JUDE: MEXICO CITY,
NOV 3, 2003
Only actual concert
footage (Paul, the Band, the Stage) was considered for this review.
The DVD and CD feature stuff ONLY from the DRIVING USA tour, not
any from the BACK IN THE US tour (second leg), although the Back
in the World CD/TV special features stuff from the DRIVING MEXICO
and DRIVING JAPAN legs.
All elements were considered for this analysis: PHOTOS, PRO SHOTS,
AUDIENCE and SOUNDBOARD Recordings or ALD'S (All 27 shows were
put under analysis), amateur video recordings, etc.
Sometimes the versions on the DVD and the CD are the same, but
the DVD has extra overdubs, like crowd noises, etc.
The entire DVD is full
of audience footage from almost every venue: Los Angeles, Anaheim,
Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Dallas, Long Island; although there
are only a few sources for the onstage footage and the audio.
DVD:
During the MAIN MENU, right in the middle of the screen- there is a collage of images and there is unique concert footage from Oakland which is absent from the DVD - mainly scenes from Jet, Back in the USSR and Hey Jude (no actual audio) which are also available on the Oakland EPK.
On the SPECIAL FEATURES MENU there is more Oakland concert footage not available on the "Concert Film"
Under SET LIST Page 1 MENU There is rare Dallas May 9 footage,including one shot of Paul on his white suit, not available elsewhere, plus more Oakland footage, mostly Jet, and Hey Jude. (no actual audio)
Under SET LIST Page 2 MENU, more Dallas 9 concert footage of Jet (no audio), plus Hello Goodbye from Oakland, along with familiar footage from the Special, with alternate shots of concert footage and fans.
Interesting NON CONCERT footage not available from the
"Concert Film" is featured on EXTRA SONGS, BEHIND THE SCENES
and
SOUNDCHECK
MENUS.
THE
CONCERT FILM:
TIMES
WERE MARKED ONCE THE "CONCERT FILM" STARTED, AND MAY
VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR DVD PLAYER
Also featured in this
review are the extra songs from the SET LIST MENU, plus 3 songs only on the WEB SITE.

Paul's identification of where he is, is ONLY available in the

On the Back in the
US/DVD intro where you hear Paul's voiceover saying "Always

been changed to "Always good to be ON THE ROAD."

Japan, not featured on the DVD following the intro.
