Ady, I have a question for you- was there any alternate footage used in the medal ceremony scene (culled from other sources, I mean) or was it all just shifting around and re-editing the available footage in the '04 DVD?

I've had the pleasure of introducing the OT to many friends and family members for the first time, and as much as I appreciate the hard work that went into Ady's edit, I would never consider showing anyone anything but the '77, '80 and '83 originals for their first viewing. That just goes along with my own personal philosophy of life, though. Some people believe that one should only listen to the mono version of Sgt. Pepper for their first time...;-)
