Question 135 - from Susan E in Dunedin New Zealand
Dear Stevie, Thank you so much for coming to New Zealand, the concert was wonderful, you sounded and looked great. I especially loved you performing "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You" Please come back again soon :-) Is there going to be a DVD of your tour? Take Care Lots of Love SusanXX

Stevie's answer:

Hi Susan, thank you so much, I truly loved New Zealand! Unfortunately, we are not planning on putting out a DVD of any of the shows there.

I'm shocked.:rolleyes:

this has been covered in another thread. I think the consensus is that Stevie means no DVD of a New Zealand show...not necessarily Australian shows all together. or at least that's the hope.

Well, forgive me for being repetitive. I humbly bow and scrape and beg for your apologies. :rolleyes:
Obviously, this is the first I've heard of this. You don't mind if I discuss it, do you? :)

I hate to be the non-delusional party pooper, but unless Stevie has big reading comprehension problems, or gets off on being withholding, it seems pretty obvious that no DVD is planned at this time. If they only filmed the one show, it's possible the footage ended up not being any good (we know that at the very least they had problems with the first two songs).

I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong here, but one thing I've learned about Stevie/Fleetwood Mac is I dont believe it until I see it on the shelves.:nod:

Thank you. That is how I interpreted it as well. Needless to say, I'm really bummed that we won't be getting a DVD of this. Hopefully one of the fans got the show in it's entirety.

I agree with you.

The kid asked: "Is there going to be a DVD of your tour?"

Stevie said: "Unfortunately, we are not planning on putting out a DVD of any of the shows there."

Sure you can split hairs & invoke the referent for "there" as being "New Zealand," but that is really ridiculously literal. It is pretty plain to me that Stevie meant NO DVD. She'd have to be cruel to the point of psychopathy to say NO DVD from New Zealand ... & then not even assure her Nicks Fixers that there will still be a DVD from Melbourne.

For whatever reason, I think she scrapped the planned DVD release.

Of course, the obvious next step is for someone to Ask Stevie: "What happened to the plans for a DVD from Melbourne with an orchestra?"

It is bewildering to say the least that someone with Nicks's resources and cash went to Melbourne with the intention of making a DVD with that city's orchestra and went about filming and recording it so incompetently that the results may be unusable.

Someone has to play that role and I think deep down inside no one really thinks Stevie meant that there wouldn't be a DVD from New Zealand. I just wish Stevie would give more than 4 word answers to these questions so that we could know what happened. She played with the orchestra to film and tape a show, and now there isn't a DVD. What happened? :shrug:

calm down...you read (read=red) much more than I intended. I only said that so you would know and maybe read everything else everyone said re: this. it wasn't a "shame on you for being repetitive" thing. if anyone's throwing around apologies it should be you for misinterpretation and flying off the handle.

I was, being polite, I thought, by letting you know it had already been discussed as most people probably wouldn't respond to your thread if they've already discussed it elsewhere.

****. :cool:

Wow. :shocked:

My thoughts exactly.

Perhaps it will be a CD-only release - as was reported in one of those pre-tour newspaper blurbs. As I said in the other thread, there has been no official announcement of either, only speculation by the newspapers - and we have no idea where they got their info.

Besides, we know Stevie & the Mac film their shows from Cory Buckingham - although we don't know why. Perhaps when Stevie told the Symphony folks she'd be filming it, she didn't say it was for personal use, and they assumed it was for release and told the media. (Like, maybe Waddy needs to check the arrangements, or the lighting guys need to check their synchronization).

Whothehell knows anymore. For that matter where is the updated Greatest Hits, the Rhiannon musical/movie, the Rhiannon album, the coffee table book of Worthington pics, the...........

oh no, I totally agree with you. I don't think there'll be a DVD. I was just repeating kind of what was said about it in another thread.

It is possible she decided on a CD release of the show instead of DVD. I hope something changes, as I was really hoping for a new Stevie DVD release..They DID have the video problems during the show, hence the reason she re-did two songs in the end of the show. They never do that unless theres a release planned. However unfortunately in the end, she was wearing the "Beauty and the Beast outfit" on and was singing OTR/Dreams, which would not look correct for the DVD..That could have been part of the issue?
