Rehearsal shows aside, Bruce's appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival (a.k.a. JazzFest) was his first concert with The Seeger Sessions Band. The three songs here represent the performances that were webcast live by MSN.
The .wmv webcast stream was captured in .avi format and re-encoded again for DVD. It is therefore unsurprising that resulting video suffers heavily from the multiple compressions. The frame rate is very low and the picture is blocky. The soundboard audio also leaves a lot to be desired. There are no menus or chapter stops.
This is a crude attempt to create a DVD from the webcast, but it is still eminently watchable and will suffice until a more careful conversion emerges.
