"I have had the audio for this since a few days after it came out and I jumped at the chance to own an official copy of it.
Unfortunately this release is so completely hobbled.
The dvd that comes with this set includes new performances that for some reason are not included on the cd.
The songs are heavily edited. Even more than the original broadcast. This can be seen clearly on the song "flashing lights" where Kanye says "That's a story for your ass". On this official cd this is edited to "That's a story for your ______". Is it a big deal? To me it is, I do not want my music censored. I think this is my main problem with this cd. (Watching the dvd I noticed that the "that's a story" line is not censored. Then why edit it on the cd?) The packaging should say somewhere on it that it is an edited version.
When I bought this cd I assumed that it would have the entire VH1 performance, but as a final slap in face they have removed the final song "Love Lockdown" from both the cd and dvd. Its not like it wouldn't fit on the cd. I really should have read the back of the cd, but there was no reason to think that song wouldn't be there.
And so, for the first time when buying a Kanye West cd I a filled with regret, buyers remorse.

"Wasn't really a big Kanye fan but have more respect now after seeing this awesome concert in Palladia. I liked it so much I just had get the DVD but it's such a disgrace to Kanye because of the very poor quality of this DVD. It's pixelated and audio is only Dolby 2.0?! My cable tv was a lot better than this DVD - 1080p and Dolby 5.1. Only give it 3 stars because even though it's a great concert the DVD ruined it."
How about this on Blu-Ray???

"I as well share the same disappointment as everyone else that has left a review. I give it 2 stars for the audio because it is an enjoyable live album, but the DVD portion of this package is incredibly terrible. The show was on an HD channel, so it is definitely capable of being put on a Blu-Ray disc. The fact that it's not is understandable if the label doesn't believe it would sell very much in HD, ok fine. But with the DVD, you release it in 2.0 Channel Audio and in 4:3 format and not 16:9 format? In this day, who all doesn't have a big screen TV? Seriously, the DVD is just terrible looking on my 46" HDTV. If it was wide screen, it would at least look as good as Law & Order: SVU does on DVD."
