Way older--I'm 44. [g]

I don't have time right now to do a side by side comparison, but there are
more acts in the British version.... The VH1 version was closer to the Brit

I was either in college or in the last year of high school. We went a
couple of times a week while it played....

You're older than me? Not doubting that, but you can't be that much
older. I'm 38.
I saw it shortly after it came out.

Which version was shown in the theater?
Also, what are the differencs in the two versions? I'd love to get the
complete thing.
