I paid that price because I couldn't find any other option to see this performance, and it IS a great show. But the production quality is moderate, and the DVD producer set chapter marks every ten minutes, regardless of whether it was in the middle of a song or if the chapter had two or more songs in it. I had to make a conversion chart and keep it inside the case to be able to navigate to particular songs.
On the other hand, it's also a dual format DVD (PAL and NTSC).

Mike,
The dual format will allow you to take it with you on your next world tour. LOL.

This has been a subject of speculation over at yahoo groups (one assumes the DVD is 9/29/78 Offenbach De. - the 7/8/76 Montreux DVD is about an hour and a half long):

Weather Report Forecast: Tomorrow [box set] (3-CD, 1-DVD set)
(Columbia/Legacy, Aug. 29, 2006)

The box set includes previously unissued tracks. The DVD is an unreleased
concert filmed in Germany, running more than two hours and featuring the
late Jaco Pastorius.

Also mentioned back in Feb '06 over at binkie.net/zawinul .

Getting back to Jaco's growly tone....

I was reminded of that tone when I found my first ever Alembic; my '98 fretless Walnut Excel 4. It has that incredible growl regardless of what I plug it into. It was wearing the original Alembic strings. I can't say enough how much I love that Bass. My current rig is my Eden Metro sitting on top of a D410XLT cabinet. I'm considering hooking it to a D115XLT or even a D118XL for that massive boom.

I'm running my METRO on top of a D115XLT. You'll love the difference over the 410 (and the 115s can be had cheap!). I looked hard at the D118XLT but couldn't find enough difference to justify the added weight and size (wasn't a huge difference $$-wise.).

For me the extra 10s just sounded like more of the same: The 115 just added that old-school thump beneath the 210/horn definition.

Thanks Joey,

I may get a D115XLT for the METRO and perhaps a D118XL to go with the D410XLT for a real killer stack. EDEN makes some pretty impressive heads to drive it. I guess it's just a question of how much I'm willing to spend.

I agree on the desireability of 15's. I still haul out my old JBL 15 for special occasions. There's nothing quite like it.

A single 15 always farted out on me while my 4x10 provided more punch,thump and overall output. So for asingle sub in my set up I would use an 18 but until we get a bigger truck(this will sound a bit ridiculous)I will continue to use my SVT cab. It just fits better in the truck. I sure would love to bi amp though.
