Live DVD
 

Does anyone know any details of when this will be released? what will be on it? Where is Stevie? Is she recording?

Dave

All I know is I'll be all over it like white on rice!:laugh:

I have yet to see this concert, I really want to!!!!

Are there concrete plans for releasing it or why is it suddenly coming up?

I've heard rumors of it being released this summer, but nothing official. Not sure which concert it will be or if it will be a compilation.

As for Lady Nicks, she's resting I hope.

Its been talked about for awhile now, maybe a couple months. I'm not sure though if it will be just from Australia of songs fromthe whole tour.

did anyone ever see any video cameras at the show?

Yes, at Melbourne I believe. They had to reshoot Dreams & OTR (?) due to sound problems.

Sorry, my bad. I thought we were talking about the Live in Concert '81 video being put on DVD ....... I guess not. :o

But I can't wait for the Melbourne DVD!! Eeeeeeee!!!!!!!! :blob1:

I asked that question a long time ago to anyone that had gone... Never really got a difinitive answer on it... I thought for sure we'd hear more about the cameras all over the place - other then the standard cameras that are in the sound area so they can project her image on the big screens. Figured we would hear reports of those crane things that swoops down and back up, and also camera guys on the stage??

I have a feeling they may have filmed some stuff during the 10 days rehearsal prior to Melbourne, at least I'm hoping they did - maybe for the close ups and stuff like that. Maybe the actual live concert was just to capture more live audio (with an audience) plus additional footage of an audience being there.. I don't know.

Plus the two songs they re-recorded at the end. To me it sounds like it was redone because the audio recording wasn't done properly the first time. It wouldn't make sense to refilm her - she's wearing the wrong clothing. But who knows... I just hope it's a dvd and not a just a live cd.

I was in the front row at the Melbourne concert and I didn't see any cameras at all. I am assuming they were in the back or something. I thought it was very odd...

She talked about them "filming" a few times but I didn't see one damn camera. When she did the first two songs over she said that there would be hell to pay etc.. because they didn't get the audio and she was in her Beauty and the Beast outfit :confused:

I think it was before GDW that I saw Karen come out to the side of the stage and she and La Nicks were talking. Stevie didn't look happy and kinda shook her head......... I am assuming Karen was telling her about the audio screw up.

Did anyone else see cameras? Did I miss something??

there were no cameras there, apart from the ones on the screen..
i belive we will get a live cd and thats it

cameras
 

there was a camera up high on the right side of the stage in melbourne, it was in the roped off area , it was recording the crowd,the other cameras were in the light tower,the cameras are pretty good, they had close ups all night that you probably didnt see from the front row

harry:wavey:

Were any of those cameras hand-held?

I'm checking out some of the vids with the orchestra for the first time ... woow. I cannot WAIT for this.

I'm listening to / watching GDW right now ... the sound is awesome. I am SO freakin' excited.

I'm looking forward to our DVD with Stevie & the orchestra. She is looking stunning.

Were all the shows indoors at night? :mad: :) :( :blob1: :confused: :mad: :thumbsup:

The media reports here in Melbourne and the advertising for the concert all said it would be filmed for a live DVD. In addition, a local company called Metropolis Audio (or their parent company at least) made an announcment to the Melbourne Stock Exchange on 19 January they had won the contract to produce the DVD. They must have thought this would have a positive effect on their share price!

So I feel confident there will be a DVD of Stevie and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra released this year. It will be great.

^ Thanks for the info & welcome to the board! :wavey:

First news that I've read that this dvd will more than likely be produced. And yes it will be GREAT! Thanks for the info. Now I can sleep at night. :D

That's quite a collection of smilies there sir.:thumbsup:

The video bootleg is out and it's quite extraordinary. Most of it was pro-shot, with the recorder remarkably steady on the overhead monitors. Stevie looks radiant.

If the commercial DVD is ever released, it probably won't include the original take of Outside the Rain/Dreams since the video and/or audio crew appears to have botched that portion of the recording. The second rendition, with Stevie still wearing her Beauty & The Beast outfit, is captured here. So it's worth it to own this unofficial version with the extra footage.

That sounds cool, Daniel! I'm looking forward to this sort of! I hope that camera doesn't swoop & swirl so that I get motion sickness. Plus I hope there are plenty of long cuts instead of those rapid-fire montages that would have Pudovkin spinning in his commie grave.

:blob1: :distress: :nod: :] :shrug: :wavey: :confused: :mad: :thumbsup: :shocked:

Plus I hope it isn't another "Cream Cheese Production."

What I enjoy most about the first part of the video is that the recorder captures the entire stage, so you get a fantastic view of the orchestra and the video monitor displaying Sulamith Wulfing's art, etc. The whole thing has a film look (I don't know the proper terminology), rather than digital video like most of the other audience recordings we've seen over the past three tours. It's letterbox format too. Must be a different recording mode on the camera, or something. But huge, huge props for the steady camera.

The footage displayed on the overhead monitor was much like how FM Live in Boston was. Lots of great closeups on all the band members.

So how do we get this???

This sounds really exciting. I can't wait to see it!

I hope we get to see this soon!

my exact thought!

do tell.

Cool! Thanks for the headup!

hey D...clear out your PM's

:lol:

I'll try to upload some clips to YouTube. Is there an easy and quick way to upload from a PC? Send a PM, if you know.

Is there any way I can get a copy of the video bootleg?

I'm sure it will be in trading circles soon.

Thanks for the info! :angel:

This is very, very exciting! :] A film feel, eh? Sounds awesome!!

OK, Beauty and the Beast is up

Thank you Adam :woohoo:

Beauty and the Beast

:blob2:

You rock. And not a little, a lot. :wavey:

Oh, my, she's so lovely.
I wish she didn't say "or at least I'm trying to change", instead of "chaaaaange". Just saying, no big.
The sound is fantastic on this.

This is gorgeous. Thanks so much

Can you trade it to someone so we can get it in cirrculation and make everything a whole lot easier?

Why must she wear two different kind of earrings? WHY?!

Beauty and the Beast
 

Thanks for posting- She does look radiant and sounds great!!

Again...Thanks so much!!

Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you. Its so nice not to hear the audience screaming in the background. I wondered about the one ear ring too but I think she just had a smaller one in the other ear.

Awesome! Thanks for the recording, and the posting. Whoever shot this did a fantastic job.
