Live DVD of 2008 tour?

Post by Speed Demon »

What I find so sad that artists in general mostly (in the case of big audiences) film their gigs (for the large screens), but don't even bother pluggin in a simple recording machine, though it would be no problem.
Often, there are people thinking of "this concert back 10 years ago" and what they would give for a recording of it.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if there's any chance of an official live DVD of at least one of the concerts of the 2008 tour? I think Leonard and the band was wonderful! (I was at the gig in Lörrach in July) I really liked the sisters ;-)

Or is there anybody who has a recording (from Lörrach or another 2008 gig) and would like to trade? Please PM me.

Do you agree there should be a official 2008 DVD?

Yes, agree. And a CD. I really can't get my head round these bootlegs, vines, downloading or whatever - don 't even know what it all is. I'm a bit old-fashioned and like to go into a music shop and buy a CD/DVD.

An official DVD of the 17 July 2008 concert in the O2 (London) goes on sale on 23 March.

Wow, that's amazing :D - wouldn't have thought this would actually happen!! Hopefully they'll use uncompressed PCM sound.

Anybody know a release day for the Blu-ray now?
