Stevie coming to DVD...with Tom Petty that is...
 

According to some rumblings at the Tompetty.com forum, the Gainesville, Fl. homecoming show will be recorded for a live DVD!!!:nod: :D

Hmmm...a lot of activity going on...

Peter Bogdanovich, the director, has been following the band for the last year or so, and all this tour. He's filming the band and putting a documentary together in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Tom Petty and The Heart Breakers... I'm sure we will see Stevie at some point during this as well. They've been spotted filming at numerous shows, including the ones Stevie's been at. Some say it will be this documentary plus a live show. Gainesville sounds like it might be that show. Would make sense, it's his home town.

The show sold out in 8 minutes....They love him...

hey, that's great news!!!!!!!!! sold out in 8 minutes down there? crazy!

I bet that you are going, Am I right, Alex? Still thinking about Atlanta? You have to go!!

awesome. we'll have a good version of Insider.

Yah. If Stevie's hair is perfect and her make-up is flawless and the angle is right and there's not too many close-up's and her vocals are spot on and the wind was blowing the right way, she just might not want to be edited out :rolleyes:

lol.

well, I can't say anything. I always require a written statement that if you take a picture of me and I don't like it, I delete it. :laugh:

They filmed the Houston show. There was a cameraman right behind the last row of the pit. You can see him in lots of my pictures. It was definitely a film camera, and not the guys projecting images on the screens.

Based on Stevie's vocals that night, her performances should be in the film. Bitch was on fi-yah that night. But yeah, like Theresa said, who knows if it will get her approval. But I wonder if she even gets to have approval?? It's not her project. :shrug: I hope Peter's in love with her and puts lots of Stevie footage in there. :D

Holy cow~ you took the thought right out of my head. That is HILARIOUS. :laugh:

I think Stevie did look pretty stunning at these shows, so we'll see!

:lol:

Don't forget about the lighting. Life is all about good lighting.

The show is at the O'Connell Center - which is the indoor sporting arena on the University of Florida Campus - so this in an indoor show. Not that La Nicks can't have the wind blowing on her indoors.

Also, just an FYI - Stevie played with TP at the UF Homecoming show in 1981 - so here were are exactly 25 years later playing the same event.

(I went to UF - Go Gators!)

They are also saying this Florida show is going to be live on the radio...... windfm.com but I'm thinking it isn't an on line thing--you have to be able to listen to the radio station......... anyone from Florida on here that can record this???? It sounds like they have a bunch of people from the Tom board that are going to try to record it also.......

Amazing news! And Peter Bogdanovich is a good director so it's should be great to watch it.
