"I like the documentary feel of the DVD, most of it is good...............However they still have a way to go, as the mistakes are more sloppy that anything, i.e. wrong labelling of bands, wrong music playing in the background (check out Calling meh playing while Boogsie is talking!) & the Audio is disgusting!!! They are making so-called intelligent people look real stupid as they are making judgements based on it!
LOL C+ .....MUST DO BETTER!!"
Anybody else seen the DVD or heard the CD?

It sounds as if they used Pan Elders (first band to play in thhe medium category) to do a sound check. The same to a lesser extent could be said about the audio during All Stars performance.
Incorrect music playing in the background during interviews (Boogsie and one other that I can't mention)
Inconsistent sound levels yet again.
Yet AGAIN they fail to show the performances of the small bands - yet Pan Trinbago officials were preventing anyone from recording band performances on stage at the Single Pan/Small Band finals. A lot of the small band performances were on par, if not better than, the performances of the large bands.
Noah that official, is a criminal. Pan Trinbago should be taken to court by the small bands.

The small and single pan sides continue to be the best-kept secret of panorama. The few who made the trip to Arima this year were well-rewarded. But it shouldn't be exclusive like that. The single pan side that places last at preliminaries should get the same level of attention that the winning large band at finals gets.
To that end, Yoichi Watanabe, Kats Imai and UTT have been working very hard for several years now. I must publicly commend them for their efforts. I can't wait until their recordings are made available to pan lovers across the world.
