And the bigger question - are the masters from the Dance taping in HD so we might eventually see a BR disc?

(Red Rocks is fuzzy too, but everything about RR is a tad fuzzy. I say that out of love.) :-)

Yeah the regular DVD, the best you're gonna get is 480p out of it. And its in 4:3 aspect ration instead of widescreen, which sucks donkey nuts. BUT... if you have an upconverting DVD player (or a BluRay player) you can view it in 720p or 1080p (but because of the nature of the way it's shot it's going to make it look "worse") To be honest, The Dance will always look better on a standard definition TV... unless someone digitally remasters the source material.
