I got this in my email today. You can get free shipping if you order from here
and use "novship" when checking out. It sure beats $18.99 for gauranteed
shipping from Music Today (which is what the official Dixie Chicks site use) and
the price for the CD and DVD is pretty much the same. You can even get a free
chicks poster with your order. Figured I'd pass it on to everyone.

COLUMBIA RECORDS PUSHES RELEASE DATE OF DIXIE CHICKS'
EAGERLY-AWAITED TOP OF THE WORLD TOUR LIVE 2 CD SET & DVD
UP TO FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21
Overwhelming Demand For New Dixie Chicks Concert
Material Sparks Rush Release Of Album & DVD
(dateline - New York - Open Wide/Monument/Columbia Records - November 18, 2003)
In response to overwhelming popular demand and in a move to thwart internet
piracy, Columbia Records is pushing the release date for Top Of The World Tour
Live, the eagerly-awaited double CD set and DVD chronicles of the Dixie Chicks
record-shattering 2003 "Top Of The World" tour, to Friday, November 21. The DVD
and CD editions of Top Of The World Tour Live were originally scheduled to be in
stores on Tuesday, November 25.
Top Of The World Tour Live was recorded live on-stage during the North American
leg of the Dixie Chicks historic 2003 world tour, which consisted of 79 shows in
North America, Europe and Australia. The album and DVD bring together definitive
performances of songs from all three of the Dixie Chicks multi-platinum albums:
1998's Wide Open Space (the best-selling debut album in country music history),
1999's Fly (the first album by a country group to debut at #1 on the Billboard
Top 200) and 2002's Home (which earned the Dixie Chicks the distinction of being
the first country group and the first female group, in the SoundScan era, to
have had two #1 debuts on the Billboard 200). The 2 CD version of Top Of The
World Tour Live features 22 songs by the Dixie Chicks while the DVD showcases 18
songs and includes the bonus video, "Top Of The World."
Shortly after the Dixie Chicks announced the group's "Top Of The World" tour at
a press conference in New York on February 20, 2003, the buzz was on. The group
rapidly sold more than 1 million tickets for the 66 North American shows on the
"Top Of The World" itinerary, with 51 shows selling out completely on the first
day of sales. In fact, first day's sales for the "Top Of The World" tour--some
867,000 tickets--were the largest in music history, eclipsing records set by
Madonna, U2, the Rolling Stones, the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, and Paul
McCartney.
Along the "Top Of The World" tour route, the Dixie Chicks were met by cheering
fans and a fervent press. "....when the Dixie Chicks step onstage," wrote Dave
Ferman while reviewing a Dallas performance for the Star-Telegram, "all is right
with their world -- and with their fans'....They received a fitting welcome from
a sold-out American Airlines crowd -- which is to say, the
all-ages/more-women-than-men audience went crazy from the beginning of the first
song, Goodbye Earl, and hardly let up all night."
"Maverick defiance has always been the best part of the Dixie Chicks' appeal,
along with the determination to hold onto something down-home as they reach for
a mass audience," wrote Jon Pareles in a New York Times review of the Chicks'
Madison Square Garden performance. "Ms. Maines makes her voice leap and break in
honky-tonk style, and the other two Dixie Chicks are not only singers but
something rare among country hitmakers, female instrumentalists. Martie
Maguire's fiddle and Emily Robison's banjo put a bluegrass streak into the
band's arrangements, one reason they have been able to conquer the country
mainstream without succumbing to it formulas."
Michael Eck, reviewing an Albany, New York show for the Times Union, put it
succinctly, "....the Chicks have changed the face of country music of late; and
the women have done it by playing music of great melody, integrity and
attitude."
