The second DVD contains a lot of bonus material. And I really mean a lot! Most of the second disc is taken up by two bootleg videos, each presenting a full show of the Union Tour. The first one was shot at the McNichols Arena in Denver and clocks in at nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes. The show was shot by multiple cameras and the audio sounds like an audience mix that was taken directly from the sound board.
The image of the video is of bootleg quality but still fairly watchable and looking professional with the multiple camera setup. The audio is surprisingly good though. It’s quite raw, but it is very enjoyable. I bet that a lot of the fans will even prefer this bootleg over the main course on the first DVD. I am still in doubt, but maybe I will too in the future when I have watched it more often. Time will tell…!
The second bootleg, which lasts nearly three hours, was recorded at Pensacola Civic Centre in (you guessed it) Pensacola. This video was audience shot and again multiple cameras were used to shoot the show. Because this is an audience recording, image and audio quality are not as good as the Denver bootleg. Video is shaky because of the use of hand cameras. Audio is surely of bootleg quality with lots of cheering, whistling and audience noise, although it does not get really annoying. The band performance can still be enjoyed fairly well.
The second DVD is concluded with bonus audio tracks taken from a couple of different shows from the Union Tour. Some of them are mixed in stereo and some in 5.1 surround sound. Tracks include “Shock to the System”, “And You And I”, “Lift Me Up”, “Drum Duet” and “Changes”.[/
