Detail : Two special film productions + Bonus extra features on one digipack DVD.
This disc opens with The Secret Website Show which was available as an added extra with the Back In The U.S. official DVD released in 2002.
Paul and the band run through some covers, Beatle and solo material and slips in the unreleased "India" which is superb.
The Second section is taken from a rehearsal in London Docklands for the Back To The World tour performance in 2003.
It includes an 21 minute interview sequence where Paul answers question placed by members of his website.
Also included are some Extras which include a 16 minute interview from 1984 that has never been repeated due to copyright issues.
As the majority of these presentations are "off web" they are quite blurry and grainy and fairly low quality pictures, but the sound is very good and is certainly adequate.
At over two hours running time, this DVD does have some musical items that make it an essesntial purchase.
