Got my Soundstage DVD today
 

From PBS. Same as broadcast - no edge walk, no BATB.
Kinda po'd since I flew to Chicago for this and someone decided to cut out the fans during Edge. Hope the dvd on Amazon will have the missing pieces.
Only good note is the graphics are really cool while navigating through the dvd.
:(

Oh, one more reason to be cranky is when PBS offered this they claim additional footage.

I've heard of one other person to receive their DVD... That's great! I'm glad PBS came through after all... and yeah, at the end of each broadcast, they said there would be bonus footage on the DVD not shown on TV!!... Bastards!

So what songs were performed that didn't make the DVD, aside from the edge walk?

I know of:
Dreams
Beauty and The Beast

You've got to be kidding me?! Those slimy bastards!! There better be something extra on this dvd, as they advertised, or they will be getting an earful from me, AND they can take their dvd and shove it up their ass! Seriously! :mad:

Most likely the bonus material will be on the CD and DVD release from Warner in December, with hopefully the Hurricane Katrina song on the CD to boot.

i just looked, mine was in the mailbox:nod:~

Yeah, along with her 9/11 song "We Got Back On The Plane", and a trailer of the Rhiannon movie.

;) I was actually hoping that maybe someone with a brain in her camp would suggest throwing one of her performances of "Face the Promise" on the CD. I would love to get a clean copy of that. Was Dreams on the PBS DVD? I see Seattle Mark mentioned no BATB, but he didn't mention Dreams. Well, if there really isn't any unaired footage I'd be po'ed. I'm glad I didn't order it. I can just watch my DVR of it for free and wait till December, or whenever.

Got mine yesterday too, through the PBS station. I haven't had time to watch it, but it's good to know we don't have to wait 'till December!

I know this was meant to be tongue in cheek, but so true and falls into the category of
"yeah right" :rolleyes:

Actually, I wonder if someone is going to call PBS and ask a customer service rep about the missing additional footage that was mentioned at the end of the broadcast and see what they say.
If no one does that by the time I get mine, I just might call them and ask.

i think i am going to wait til the dvd comes out in the stores to see what songs they have listed. i am glad that everyone is getting there dvds and i am not happy that they didn't include dreams and beauty and the beast. but overall how is the dvd?

Here's a screen shot - with the running order of the tracks. Cool pics too!

Good one....I just had to LOL at this comment....yeah also along with re-issues of all her solo cds with many extras and dvds and another boxed set with all the demos and outtakes and extended versions we don't have than theres the photo book that we are seeking....and a 'new' Stevie web site were we can buy stuff rare photos /posters/shirts etc.........I guess this is what is called "dreaming"..............LOL........:shrug::rolleyes:

I've emailed them and told them if there is no additional footage on the dvd they are shipping, to cancel my order. I'm not going to pay $25 for the PBS copy and then have to pay another $20 for the bonus tracks on the one that is released when it gets mass marketed. I don't think I'll ever order anything else from PBS again.

Wow! This is very interesting.
So PBS is packaging their own version of this show and then in December, a WB release drops, which may or may not be the same DVD? WTF?
This is super dumb.

For those of you have it, what are the audio options?

You know I can't say I blame you at all. My boyfriend and I both remembered PBS saying at the end of the Soundstage special to order "now" and this will INCLUDE "extra footage".. I'm going to watch my free taped copy, and listen for what they said again. That is TOTAL false advertising on PBS's part if this is what they are doing, and that just sucks! We definitely need to call them on this one!

Arlene, I know for a fact that they advertised this dvd to have bonus material, which apparently it does not. They definitely should be called on it. It's not good business practice to do this. It would be considered by many to be false advertising. Not honorable at all. From the delayed shipping, to duping the public on what is on the dvd, they have handled this completely wrong.

This information could probably get you a free copy from PBS if you push the issue with a supervisor.

I just visited Stevie Nicks Info website and there are screen shot of the front and back cover.

Am I seeing a MasterCard logo on the cover and back cover? God, that's tacky.

Could someone that received the DVD let me know what companies are branded on the lower back cover?

I couldn't tell if the package artwork featured a Warner Home Video logo - or one of its subsidiairies.

It's very possible that the delays have to do with manufacturing, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if DVDs purchased from PBS - in what appeared to be very slim cases, unlike standard Soundstage releases - are the result of an expedited, limited run just for it's fund-raising period (i.e. done on the cheap and struck from broadcast master. The eventual retail release may feature the promised extras. I'll reserve comment until I see more detail on packaging.

Warner Home Direct still does not have buying information for retailers or media. whvdirect.com

It's all guess work at this point. Still, PBS should be alerted that it falsely advertised the product. Misleading donors doesn't sit well with those watching the bottom line.

There's no rep for Warner, that's why think this batch of Stevie DVDs is a short production run for PBS' benefit. Well, I hope.

Most effective way to correspond is to wait until Wednesday. With Monday a holiday, publicist typically have very full email boxes on Tuesday following a holiday. They will ignore all but the most immediate issues. Wednesday, they'll notice it and possibly address it.

This is just like the Sheryl Crow DVD I ordered from PBS and when it went on sale at Amazon a year later it came with extra songs.

See... I don't mind that. I don't mind buying the two versions...as long I know there will be the added bonuses to the mass marketed verion. Doesn't excuse PBS from what they initially promoted though.

Oh, I didn't expect new cover pictures. I thought there would just be the 2 that were used on the PBS website. These new ones are nice to have. Although, I would say she looks a little bat-like.

Yes, they should be called on it! Plus, wasn't it a little more than was Amazon was charging "BECAUSE" of the extra footage, supposedly?? WOW

Hey Viv..

Yeah, but you know what? Being that I ordered mine from Amazon, and I'm hearing what everyone is saying.. I'm not sure I'd even want anything from PBS.. I 'm really sorta bummed out that PBS would do this, you know?

Boy.. this is GREAT info! Thanks SOOO much for gathering it all up for us! And yes, I agree that waiting until after the Holiday is a great idea... That way, we can all make our point, and they will have some time to get other stuff out of the way. Thanks SO much again!!:xoxo:

No extra material, makes me glad I just burnt the broadcast to DVD and avoided spending $$$ on something that WAS promised to contain 'extra material'

I'll be surprised IF the compact disc even makes it to the store shelves.

Why should we be forced to buy more than one version to get everything? I consider it a waste of money and a bad way to treat the fans.

Yes, it's a rotten way to tread the fans, given the fact that it was advertised as having bonus footage. But who knows if this thing will ever see the light of day through conventional channels - with bonus footage... So I say grab it while you can. A year from now when we are on our 10th date pushed back - PBS may not be selling any longer. If it does see the light of day... Great!

I think it's fine for those people who live in areas where it did not air, but for those of us who did see it (and record it), it's pointless to buy it from PBS. I still don't think it makes any sense to air it prior to selling the DVD, especially given the fact the DVD has no extras.

Now it's pointless to buy from PBS (if you saw it and recorded it) because we now know there's no extras! We didn't know that prior to people receiving their copies.

I bought completely under the assumption, that the DVD would contain the bonus footage... If I had known prior that it wasn't going to be on it, then I would have waited... and just enjoyed what I recorded in the meantime.

Well on the positive side, since you probably can't get your money back now, at least you are supporting public television! I don't know though, maybe it would be possible to get a refund based on the fact that it was advertised to have extras and didn't? Is anyone going to try?

LOL- Shaunese is the same IDIOT who CC'd an e-mail (instead of a blind carbon copy) to all of the people who purchased tickets to the Lindsey Buckingham Soundstage. I cannot believe she still has a job.

What happened?

A couple days before the taping, she e-mailed everybody re: instructions on where to go, where to park, what to expect, etc. Except for the fact that she sent it so that everyone's e-mail address was viewable to everyone else- some including people's full names & places of employment. I remember looking at it and picking out all the Ledgies that apparently were going to be there.

Oh that would be amazing!!!

New material from Stevie. I'm swooning.:p

I ordered a copy of the dvd from PBS last night because...

with all the release date changes, I am deathly afraid that it will never be released...

just as I waited for the Melbourne DVD!!!

I would advise everyone to do the same before PBS runs out of it...

and it slowly becomes a collector's item...

placed deeply into Stevie's bulging iron vault of unreleased material...

It may not have bonus material... but at least it will be pristine quality...

Why does her releasing of material always end up to be such a production?

Instead of releasing her stuff... she forces her fans to rely on bootlegs to

acquire anything!!!!:confused:

No thanks. I don't patronize people or companies who engage in false advertising and misleading business practices.

I have to agree. Why would anyone want to "give" their money to a company that has mis-lead the public to believe that there is extra footage on a program, where everyone that has gotten the dvd, so far is saying there isn't? Plus, Amazon.com has the same thing for less money, and (hopefully) there just MAY be extra footage on that one.. If not, at least they didn't "promise" the public there is, as PBS did.. :distress:
