I generally agree with your thoughts, but I also think that they did something odd in order to hide some of the rough spots in Ayu's singing - they put her singing behind the music. Sometimes while watching the DVD version I got the impression that they were drowning out her vocals with the guitars, etc, particularly during songs like SURREAL where she went off key a lot. I can only watch the stereo mix though, so the 5.1 mix may give different results (at first I thought the audio was on the wrong setting because the background music seemed too loud compared to the vocals).
I'm really glad PECO and Princess are back where they belong too! That's always the worst part about seeing the TV versions, I think, because it's almost always the case that they are too loud in the initial mix.
By the way, I want to say how much I loved this set list, because she did songs like Rainbow and Sotsugyou Shashin that she hasn't done very often! And I can give her a break on the vocals considering she lost her hearing around the time of this concert. Vocally speaking though, I still like CDL 04-05 better.

I dunno, that's what people seemed to feel like about the DVD..

Do you think they could have used clips from several different shows on the tour? I mean, by using the behind the scenes clips between songs, they justified cutting the transitions between some of the songs... it is possible.
