No - seeing Chris has just celebrated 10 years in the band, I don't think he was  ;)

No, he left in the mid '90s... 1996?.

I have both of those discs, bought separately and can recommend them both.

Seem to recall that Disc 1 (Live Legends) features a concert in Birmingham.
Will check when I am back home.

Well spotted....the CD's the soundtrack of the video/DVD. The DVD's missing a track though.
