So, it appears there's nothing from the Jeff Lynne/Wilburys era or later on this.  And still no announced plans for a DVD or BRD in the USA.  The Jeff Lynne Interview bonus feature is included with all released versions in the UK.  

Joe Walsh's website has completed a makeover.  Right now, there's only solo tour dates and no hint of a new album at all.  According to Joe from eons ago, it's been sitting ready to go.
