THIS is why DVD was invented. I spent $10 more than Warehouse Music wanted for the used CD ($27 on-sale new vs $17 for the used CD) and the features are great. Five different camera angles in parts of the video, plus five different soundtracks.
I can listen to:
5.1 band+orchestra
2.0 band+orchestra
2.0 just the band
2.0 just the orchestra
It is pretty fun to watch the "just the orchestra" version while the crowd is headbanging and rocking out.
Also has a 40min making-of feature and bonus tracks beyond what is on the audio cd.
WOW, I actually bought somthing I was delighted with.

Actually, I was sorta disappointed with this one. The sound isn't that great, and they really dropped the ball with the extra mixes. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THEM ON-THE-FLY!!!! I would think the main reason you would have those other tracks is so that you can suddenly drop the band or drop the orchestra, but as it is you have to stop the concert, go back to the menus and change the audio choice -- very lame! The behind-the-scenes doc is nice, though. I'll agree that the DVD is way preferable to the CD. I wonder why it's on two DVD though, it should have easily fit on one disc.

Welcome to our world!
Some cool DVDs with similar features include:
Dave Matthews Band - Listener Supported (great surrounds, multiple angles)
Sarah Maclachlan - Mirrorball (mellow, but nice sound, multiple angles)
Eurythmics - Peacetour (angles on 2 songs, hour-long documentary)
Santana & Friends (awesome picture, nice sound, documentary, music videos)
Steely Dan - Two Agaist Nature (no features, but the best music surround track I've ever heard in DTS)
Pearl Jam - Touring Band (terrible picture, but nice sound, videos, tour montage)
Beastie Boys : Criterion (not a concert disc, but a 2-disc video anthology with lots of alternate angles and alternate sound mixes that you can change on the fly; so much fun to play around with even if you hate the band)
Well, maybe there are a few listed here that you might be interested in. Enjoy.
