This raises two questions:
1. Is the availability of the shows on CD something that is forthcoming, as the current batch is download/streaming only.
2. What is meant by "Video release at launch" in relation to the Glasgow show? Currently the show is available as an audio download and there is no mention of a video release at nugs.net. Will this come later once the theatrical screenings are finished?
