I can tell you why it was not released in widescreen because I work with a lot of the cameramen and the director who shot it.
Basically it was a mainly British technical crew (director, cams etc,) who expected to shoot it in widescreen when they got there. However due to admin cock up when they arrived equipment which they presumed to be in widescreen (as standard in UK) was only 4:3, it was too late and too costly to change it all especially as "streets have no name" had to go out live during the nba playoff final that evening, so reluctantly they all had to shoot it in 4:3.
So now you know,

It still looks fantastic despite this, as the director is probably the best for music concerts in the world at the moment, I work with him quite a bit and he is excellent. In fact most of the concert dvds which came out at christmas were done by him, e.g. Corrs In London, Madonna: drowned world live, Westlife Live, Robbie at the Albert etc
