The English often use the plural verb tense when referring to a singular collective noun- such "as the American football team have crushed the Spanish team." But I think using it with iTunes is still wrong because iTunes is just one thing, not a collection of things.

Yep. Or "US team defeats Spain." Something like that.

Is this the thing I just received?
I can live with the lower case c in Ocean Rain Live In Liverpool concert. "Concert" is not part of the title.
It's a good thing you ordered your copy withahip. I think the production run has finished.
Why do they only use itunes? [s]Is itunes first initial upper case? I can't be bothered verifying this.[/s] Correction: iTunes.

It's pretty good. Single songs for 99 cents, some albums as low as $7.99. It's best for classical music if you're into that. 99 cents per track equals cheap symphonies.

The London and New York OR shows had better versions of the Killing Moon. The new live album on iTunes has Mac singing with his post 2003 spoken word type vocals. Slightly better than "Live In Liverpool" and the sound quality is so-so. Bummer.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

And for the Love of God I hate it when the fucking audience sings.

Too right, and all that fucking arm waving, especially during Ocean Rain. I'm all for an audience of limbless mutes, especially when you're paying £30 for a DVD. How dare they enjoy themselves, didn't they know it was being recorded?
