1. You guys are overly critical of an ok boot from a band that has actually had some objectively shitty performances. This one is fine.
2. I was talking about the DVD since it's one of I think 4 filmed full performances by them.
1. Not overly critical mate as there are simply so many other better performances.

2. As others have said it's been available for ages as a bootleg DVD in pristine quality.
Yeah. I cannot imagine paying for it when there are so many greater ones out there.

My calendar doesn't have EET week on it, when is it so I know when not to holiday/work/do anything except listen to a strange yet likeable album?

No one can ever remember. It's a bit like Easter where it is a different time every year related to the spring equinox.

Very arbitrarily, yes.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

The last couple of years have been a bit quiet on the EET WEEK front. Hopefully your enthusiasm can ignite some debate. The first few years with the listening parties were legendary.

I think having Tom and WK around should spice it up a bit. We all have to admit it was pretty hard to follow up the year (2012 I think?) that we made the tribute album.

I thought it was 2013 but when I was going back to look for the album cover I put together, I found it was even further. I was similarly surprised.

We did a cover album in 2012 and another in 2013.
