Due to another engagement, I couldn't view the video, but most reviews have been positive. Hopefully it will be available for streaming or download in the future. I'm sure there will also be a CD of the concert. [?]

Agree about the audio - it really was good as was the video (except when it dropped out.
There were a couple of camera operators (one could be seen in a cross stage shot from Ulrich to Thorsten) and there were some fixed places cameras (GoPro sort of things) on the keyboard rigs.
And yes about Hoshiko's violin. Not the sort of instrument you'd expect to fit in with TD's style of music but she makes it work so well. Wonder what ever gave them the idea to introduce a violinist (or maybe she approached TD).

I'm sorry to hear that, you missed a really good one.
The audio quality was incredible, though most people had an occasional buffering problem on the video side. Listening with high -quality headphones made me feel like I was almost there. There were numerous camera angles with regular position changes including close-ups from various locations. I didn't see camera operators so perhaps they were embedded into the stage set up somehow.
There were several improvised sections including a 30+ minute encore. The show lasted nearly 2 hours and 45 minutes overall with no intermission, and only about 90 seconds of stuff I didn't find pleasing. One thing I regret missing much of was a long form version of Ricochet, which was played during one of the few times I lost both audio and video simultaneously. I was watching in a room with a larger mirror, and saw my reflection with a big smile several times, including during "Genesis of Precious Thoughts", a full length version of "Song of the Whale part 2 -dusk", and of course the improve pieces which included lots of ambience and sequences, with Hoshiko's violin soaring above many parts.
One would hope that it sees the light of day as a cd and/or DVD in the future. Many of us were chatting live on Facebook during the entire show, which reminded me of the "listening parties" on tadream back in the 90s. The general feeling was that this concert was a defining moment in the bands 50 year history, and where it became clear that the legacy was in good hands. I was glad tohave been part of it, albeit remotely.
Bianca came up to talk after the show, and mentioned things in the pipeline for the 50th anniversary, including the Quantam album, the book, and more concerts saying something to the effect they gone on as long as we want them.
