I'm probably wrong, but this sentence could mean that a CD of the TV performance will be released in conjunction with the special. Elton John, Garth Brooks and Sheryl Crow have all had recent TV appearences released on disc. I know this goes against the band's position on live albums, and the second Best Of collection is on the horizon. Just my $.02
This is great news but the only thing I'm worried about is they most likely won't show the whole concert. They might even only show like an hour of it. I still hoping for a dvd release too.
