so which of the official dvd's should I get?
I know he released 2 DVD's from when the band was a 3 piece, is there any othere dvd that features the the full band?
And how do the performances compare?
Thanks

If you can find it, the DVD that came with the limited edition version of the Anthology had a full band. I thought that the full band concert had more energy (in comparison to the Budokan concert) and would be a bit more pleasing to watch had the video not been edited the way it was. It's hard to explain, but the Anthology DVD isn't really like watching a concert, per se.

There's no DVD available of the original 5 piece band, unless you join his fanclub, then you'll get the Waking Up The World DVD featuring highlights of the 1992 tour.

His best DVD is probably Live from Slane Castle though. Live at The Budokan has a long show, but due to the Japanese crowd is a bit boring to watch, and the Live In Lisbon DVD features his new 5 piece band but is hard to watch because it's edited in a terrible way, and doesn't feel like an actual concert DVD either but merely like a shitty bootleg.

Slane Castle all the way, go for it.

Yeah, Slane Castle is a good place to start. I like Live At Budokan, as it has more rarely heard songs like Remember (which sounds awesome on this DVD), but the DVD feels slightly amature to me.

Unplugged is OK, but not great. Some of the songs are done nicely (Fit's Ya Good for example), but I find I can't watch it all the way through without skipping.

Well I'm a cassual fan of Bryan Adams, so I'm not looking for any rarities or anything like that.
I'll try the slane castle DVD.
Bummer that there isn't any DVD of the five piece band, I find that a lot of his hits have more than 3 guitar parts and a lot of keyboards in the mix.
