I think in a past posting discussion, it was determined that either on the CD and/or DVD, that songs represented all 3 nights at MSG, it was not just one night. Someone listed which songs were from which show.

Subject: [Slowhand] Eric's magic shirt sleeves - 'Bad decision'??

On watching in awe the 'Live from Madison Square Garden' Blu-Ray disc, marvelling at the sheer genius of the musicianship of the two greatest Englishmen ever to 'tread the boards', I suddenly became distracted to the point of obsession.....firstly during 'Pearly Queen' and then 'After Midnight' and beyond into 'Split Decision'..at which point I finally had to give up as the performance had become secondary to this incredible feat I was witnessing...
Eric appeared to have 'magic' shirt sleeves which rolled themselves up and down at will during numbers!!.
Now, I'm no expert at filming concerts but someone should have told Eric to make sure he wore his standard short sleeve attire for the 3 nights at MSG at least for continuity purposes.

By the way..are there any prizes going from 'Where's Eric!' for spotting this???

All of which begs the obvious question...is the music edited accordingly, or are we being subjected to dubbed audio onto the video??. Not something I really want to contemplate, as it may taint my future enjoyment of what is by far the best ever Eric concert DVD.
