Well, the bad news is the counter is now reading 5 hours 27 minutes...it keeps adjusting....so it may never get to zero minutes to continue. That's their plan I guess to get you to sign up to finish. It says the DL speed is "dynamic" and depends on "how much unused bandwith WE have available" My 5.5 hours were just up and it downloaded the rest. Currently transferring the file to my drive from the cache. Thanks....I'll hang in there. Mine is now at 4 hours left.

Wow, so I just watched that Japan tour segment from the UK version of the SMGO documentary, and there is an additional bit of interview with Roger Taylor where he talks about how Adam is the kind of performer that Japan really loves, because of his look, flamboyance, costumes, and then goes on to say that the one thing Adam knew even better than them was how to perform to the camera. Direct quote: "He is sort of the male Beyonce of using a camera." ! Also, I noticed that the iHeart Radio Concert segment is a bit different from the US version - the UK version included their introduction from Mario Lopez and the song CLTCL I thought was a bit longer. Another thing, which I thought was done much much better in the UK version was the whole AMA thing. The commentary did not seem out of place like in the US version and there was some other stuff. I think they just moved things around to make it more seamless. Plus, in the UK version there do not seem to be so many commercial breaks, so the whole documentary flows better.
ETA: The UK version is about 5 min longer than the US version, so it appears the US version was the one that had to be cut, while this is the full documentary, I guess. I am sure there is plenty of more footage, of course, but for now, I would say the UK version is better and with more stuff. And yes, it is not censored, which is a plus for me always. I hate those prudish US beeps which seem to mask half a sentence... Just my opinion, ofc
Thanks for the comparison. And I agree the whole AMA thing in the US version seemed disjointed. When I rewached the US version I often skipped thru that part best I could.

A few days ago 3ku1 asked what V song is the favorite. - I still don’t have one... so strange -the one I listen to is the favorite, and then the next one...etc... Me, too - and that includes “New Eyes” and “Comin’ in Hot,” for me. I love every one of these songs. It has taken me awhile to conclude it, but this is my favorite era. NE, CIH, and RR all have a similar sexy-cool, smoky, just walked into a dark dive of a bar feel to me; Adam’s voice seems like a smooth, expensive, intoxicating whiskey. SuperPower and Stranger You Are, on the other hand, are to me powerful “wake-up call” songs. I love the themes, they’re so authentic to him. I love hearing even lyric “touchstones” that are familiar to me/his fans. And I find ”Overglow” and “Loverboy” super appealing because of their “new retro” sound AND because I feel that Adam exposes some of his truths in them in a way he hasn’t exactly before in song (although I think he has a little in interviews visited these themes). And then there’s “Closer to You,” which is so amazing, and shows what Adam can do, I think, how he can take what sounds like it is going to be the kind of sad song that Sam Smith sings very wonderfully, but then there are so many more turns and textures (it reminds me of Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” near the end). Hope I didn’t leave any out. It’s such a fantastic collection of songs - his voice, the music, the themes and lyrics - whole package, excellence. (Had to get that out of my system, had to express myself and my love for Velvet Side A!)
