Stings' Mtv Unplugged (or "Acustico" as the dvd insists)

"Why Sting has kept his Mtv-unplugged-performance so "rare" is a mystery to me. Musically this performance is as great as any true fan could ask for, but the sound (2.0 and 5.1 options) and picture quality on the dvd gives you a "bootleg"-feeling, not that it's extremely bad, but it's not very good either.
He performs eight songs, most from his then resent album (and my favorite!) "The Soul Cages", and he and his band delievers perhaps one of the most beautiful live-versions ever (next to the original) of "Why Should I cry...". If only the sound had been better here, it could need some filtering or something though I'm no expert here, other than that I must say that this is the kind of release that really could need remastering.
It surely was worth the 100 dollars I spend on this rare release, because I am a big fan and a collector."
