I don't agree with you on "Something". While I agree that it may not have been the best way to start the song, it added a nice personal touch, and I think it was brilliantly done how it built as it went along. On subsequent viewings I find myself paying attention to that aspect of it, and it is very well done.
All that said, when McCartney hits those piano keys at the beginning of "While My Guitar...", I practically get goosebumps in anticipation of the way they polish that gem of a song. I'm sure George was smiling down on them. When one considers the amount of talent on that stage and how everyone seems to have checked his/her ego at the door to perform as a unit, it's even more impressive. As I said, I agree with what you stated earlier, it's one of the absolute best performances I've seen captured on film.
My son sort of laughs when he sees me watching the DVD every couple of months. It's a far more enjoyable couple of hours than most of the movies I could be renting.
