That would be amazing.

I just got mine last night and watched the DVD only. I think the booklet was very nicely done, though I would have liked one or two current, brand new pics. I liked the pink color scheme a lot. Stevie's commentary was priceless. Her take on the Scarlet Stand Back had me in stitches. She was totally making fun of the whole thing. It was interesting to get her comments on videos I've been watching for years now. Her comment about FM never been filmed for an entire show confused me. The Mirage and Tango shows came to mind that were commercally released. Surely those shows were filmed in their entirety. She seemed very quiet during Blue Denim. I wonder when she wrote the lyrics to that song because it seemed like she had no idea what it was about or she didn't want to say. It sounded almost like she was making up the Lindsey story. I love behind the scenes the stuff like this so the DVD was thoroughly enjoyable. She did seem to have less to say on the later songs but maybe it was just me.

I'm spending my Saturday morning watching these DVDs - this is what this package is really all about - Stevie's videos (although I do love the CD).

The Scarlett video is quite interesting - when she's in the saloon having a shot of whiskey - there is a confederate flag behind the bar, but a pictue of Abe Lincoln on the wall behind her. Too funny..

And each time I watch Edge from the White Winged Dove tour I have to ask where is this DVD.. Stevie was at her best! Here's a thought - release it with the remastered Bella Donna cd.

now on to Rooms on Fire.. one of my fave vids..

Thanks again to Stevie for finally releasing her videos on DVD. I'm loving being a Stevie fan again..

She was saying that she believes the Bella Donna video was the first one to be filmed in its entirety. The Mirage and Tango videos may have been filmed completely but Bella Donna was supposedly the first one.

I just want to ask again, does anybody think that Edge Of Seventeen Live W/ MSO is absolutely AMAZING
Like possibly one of the best Edges ever done?

Those vids were a combo of a couple of nights put together and her HBO show was one show... one night.

Haven't heard it. Don't have it yet. Waiting for a free copy, which is a landmark for me. I had every other solo release the day of, or in advance.

I got the live tracks on iTunes. I just wish they sold the DVD separately, as it sounds great. Anyway, it's a pretty good version of Edge of Seventeen. I don't get why she put this *and* the studio version on the CD; she obviously didn't have any problems leaving it off of Enchanted in favor of a live version (which was pretty kick-ass, I must say).

I know. But, she did. I wish she would have done a video of GB from the BD concert and given commentary -- " . . . and this is the part where I REALLY got into it and danced my a$$ off - sheck my cheerleader kicks at the drum risers - where o where was baton"

I can't be bothered to pay for it or make a special trip to the store.
I'll get a promo copy from one of my music biz friends.
Bottom line? It doesn't interest me enough. The commentary things will be fun, as was evidenced by the previews.
Not enough of a reason for me to go out and buy it though.

In just a few short days, it's become my favorite "Edge" of all time.

Stevie sounds flawless, and I love the eerieness that the orchestration adds.
