Original Trilogy shots in Star Wars In Concert seemed to be from the same master as the DVD.  Tantive shots did seem a bit whiter to me, but Luke's Garage was still way too dark, the overhead Star Destroyer still glared off the camera, and ESB shots were blue, which makes me think that I just WANTED Tantive to be white (or they took clips from a copy they started fixing but only got a few minutes in).

Interesting fact about the TPM shots.  Not only did they have CGI Yoda, there's actually more on the screen.  It seems like they zoomed in to fill whatever aspect ratio it was, but they zoomed in using more film than is currently available!

Look at the ceiling above their heads and the space behind Plo's chair.  All of the Yoda shots I did my comparisons with had extra space.  Where did this space come from?  Wouldn't the master they used to make the clips have the same area we've always seen, just zoomed into a particular part maybe?  Or did they go back to the original filmed elements where there is more than the 2.35:1 image to be captured from?  Is that possible?
