I wonder where it is.

If it surfaces at all at this point, it'd have to be as a promotion tool: Stevie would have to base an official summer tour around it or something to that effect. I'm not so sure about the documentary coming to life given the fact most of Stevie's released works have gone into Out Of Print status.

According to Dave, he is in the process of getting a distributor now.

I hope Dave and Stevie don't blow this op coming up with her tour.It won't make since to release it in 2013 after the tour is said and done.

If they are just NOW looking for a distributor.. This is going to be months and months away from release! Not sure why they don't just make a few thousand copies and sell it on-line...

Dave could be trying to do something like he's just done for his own documentary which is on the making of The Blackbird Diaries and The Ringmaster General (his new album), he's partnered with a wine maker, has come up with a Ringmaster General bottle of wine with him on the label and is selling his 90 minute documentary with the bottle of wine for something like $125 bucks! It's an interesting idea and likely done to recoup some of his costs for production... So maybe he's looking into some sort of partnership for Stevie's doc.

Hun.I'm wondering what kind of tie in.I'm not a wine drinker.If I was I probably have tried
Mick's already.

They're just NOW in the process of looking for a distributor? REALLY? Why do I feel this doesn't bode well? Why wouldn't Warners just distribute it? Oh wait...

I'm absolutely stumped by this documentary issue....IMO it seems that two things must have occurred...Stevie and Dave (maybe WB too) had hoped the cd, IYD was going to be much more of a commercial success...since it was not as successful, no one is interested in spending any more money on promoting a documentary....
Then I thought that repackaging IYD with a few new songs and the documentary and Stevie heading back out on summer tour and do the morning and late night talk shows - eventually maybe she would sell an additional 25,000 to 50,000 units...but does that make it worth it for all the parties concerned?
I'm stumped

Before the editing was finished they should of put out a search for a distributor then.Forget WB.We seen the results what they did on the release almost a year ago.Nevermind they never help promote her cd.

I agree.I blame it on WB.Also I better not hear them fuss about it because Stevie was sick at the time of the release..

MacMan · #11 04-23-2012, 07:44 PM

I think WB did plenty in the promo dept given the budget they had to work with and her Management did a good job getting her in the press, magazines, radio interviews and placed on some really popular shows with massive audiences... Plus the Rod tour laid the ground work getting the early word out that something was coming - and a reason for her to be in the press... Just different times, different audience.

This doc has nothing to do with Stevie's label, it's completely independent, much like Destiny Rules had nothing to do with WB for Fleetwood Mac's SYW album.

I don't mind the wait as long as it's just that... As long as it's coming eventually, I'm happy. If the rug gets pulled out from under this, then I'll be slightly pissed off LOL.

PBS would be a great distributor of her documentary I would think and maybe they can mass produce it quick and get it out to the public fast.

I agree.But PBS got to air the show plus do a call-in to get funds to run their programs plus charge $250 for a donations.I think its a great Idea .But I think they can't get it done in 3 months time.I agree with MacMan on if the rug gets pulled out on this dvd production.I'll be livid plus all of us fans will be let down on this whole thing.

All these opinions are making me think the documentary won't come out.

I'm trying to remain optimistic and continue hope that this documentary will see the light of day. The one reason that clouds my, "Happy Bubble," if you will, is that the promoters (WB & whom ever else) did not strike when the iron was hot!

The question is, Is it still hot one year later? And, I wonder what is exactly in this documentary aside from clips of making IYD?
