On the other hand: We do get a 3DVD set of a terrific tour - and who says you can't sell your "normal" tour DVD once the HD-DVD or BluRay comes out?

HD DVD is dead so the format war is over. Toshiba dropped support for the format and being that they were the only manufacturer (besides LG and Microsoft) fully pushing that hardware I believe the above statement to be true. So the real question is why no BluRay? I would say it is a fairly safe bet to say that a BluRay version will not be offered at any time in the near future. If you have a BluRay player it should do a fairly adequate job of upconverting the standard definition DVD. It would have been nice if they would have offered the BluRay. Incidently I was an early adapter to HD DVD via XBOX360 so I'm kinda bummed that that format is dead. I only got two concert DVDs in HD format - Eagles - Farewell 1 Tour (nearly unappreciable difference between Standard and HD DVD) and Cream - Royal Albert Hall (Absolutely glorious in HD DVD).
