Hello,

I just received my copy, and it won't play on my machine. A message appears on the screen that says "Check Region". I live in Canada (same format as the U.S.). I have tried a local business that makes copies of stuff for me all the time, and the technician tells me he can't do the duplication for me, so I guess it requires specialized equipment. Needless to say, I am majorly disappointed.

Cheers, Don

Hi Don, I would think that the DVD would play OK on your computer - give it a try on that. But watching a DVD on a small computer screen is not ideal. I've seen a few DVD players listed on Amazon that are shown as "all region" and "NTSC / PAL" compatible, such as this Philips model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=2L7K2YGF5TY3Z
I've got a couple of other PAL format DVDs, so I'm definitely considering buying a DVD player like this one.

Thanks so much for that sound recommendation. I found a DVD player for around $75.00 (with a 3 year warranty) that plays both formats. We can use it for our 2nd TV set anyway, so a good investment all 'round. My wife and I just watched the Documentary, and it's the best thing on Peter we have ever seen. To anyone who hasn't seen it... make a point of doing so!

Cheers, Don

Hi Don, Sharksfan, and all the others, hope you'll be able to find the right DVD player to play all formats.
I recently received my copy and of course immediately watched it. Sadly it doesn't give any more information than there is already available. I really would have enjoyed an interview with Danny as to how he remembers Peter and what role Peter has played in his life from his perception, whatever state he is in...... It was nice, though, to see Mick and Jeremy together on one couch.
What amazed me, however, is the perfect quality of the material that has already been available throught the "Early Years" video. Does anybody know if there is a complete DVD available with this quality?

Cheers,
Wouter

I bought the first one available and and ended up playing it on my G5 apple. Lucky for me The DVD drive has four more lives before it can't change anymore. It was worth it to see Jeremy Spencer Mick Fleetwood and John MacVie sitting in the same room.
I now understand so much more about Peter. It was so refreshing to hear Jeremy Spencers honesty and perception about things. His discription of the thing on Peters shoulder was so insightful yet simple.
I am so pulling for the well being of Peter Alan Green

Just got my copy on Saturday and watched it yesterday evening. As many here have noted, there's not that much in the DVD that's really new, but it's all presented very nicely and gives a terrific story of Peter's life. It would have been nice if there had been more on Peter's late '70s & early '80s activities, as well as his time with Splinter Group, but overall it was very enjoyable. And I agree that it was great to see Jeremy, Mick, and John all sitting together talking about the past.

I also got a pleasant surprise to see Mick Fleetwood interviewed at the same spot where I had lunch during vacation a few weeks ago - at the Kula Lodge on Maui. The background during those segments of his interview was unmistakable. But those segments also made it clear that Mick needs to try a different brand of antiperspirant!

Yes, and McVie just talks too much on those sofa clips, while Mick hardly ever opens his mouth!
