Darryl,i understand that this would be good to you,but the majority of the fans would be VERY disappointed. Hopefully FTD will release the complete rehearsal one day,but on this upcoming 2CD-set isn't possible,because that would be a flop financially.
You can't say that. You can say that YOU would be very disappointed, but you can't speak for the "majority" of fans. After all, the Southern Nights FTD was very well recieved at the time, and as others have said, we will now have 2 complete shows from this season on FTD - It's Midnight, and now the opening night. I'd much rather hear stereo rehearsals, plus remaining live highlights from the season on the 2nd disc, to avoid repetition.
To suggest that anyone who doesn't have the opening night show, or rehaearsals go find, or download a copy elsewhere, because you already have it is a little arrogant too. What if I don't want to download a copy, or have a CDR. What if I want a factory pressed product in nice packaging from FTD? Not all fans have access to a vast collection of soundboard / import CD's, and relish the opportunity of getting these shows from FTD.
