I know, im not too concerned, plus I just realized if it comes out on the 15th, Ill already have it in hand anyway. Still Tom Petty gets a full two hours!!

Hurray! Thanks AliceLover for the info.!

I will take one hour over none on TV I guess.
I will buy the DVD anyway.

I just hope they edit the one hour to include the better songs.
Leave Enchanted and Crash out.

Fleetwood Mac's SoundStage is always played in 2, back-to-back one-hour segments on the Rave channel. In fact, they played it from 2-3 and 3-4 this afternoon. Nothing is edited.

I was at the Fleetwood Mac taping. They just filmed the whole concert, start-to-finish with only one interruption to change film (film if digital these days?). Anyway, Stevie's taping was over 4 1/2 hours. They must have chopped it to pieces in editing. Maybe we'll get the extras/bonus stuff on the discs.

It is also strange that the record company will put it on sale July 15th and start airing it the next day. A lot of semi-fans will just DVR it and eventually transfer to DVD. Didn't they learn their lesson airing Tusk over the radio so close to its release?

I was thinking for a while that this project would be one of those PBS Broadcasting fundraiser things where they would show clips, maybe interview Stevie and sell the CD and DVD in separate packages for memberships, donations, etc., then release to stores. It would be a great way to pump-up folks to go out and buy it. I don't think sales will be stellar. I hope for her they are, but ultimately, I think we the die-hards will buy the package.

Just my opinion...

Given that Stevie's scheduled for two consecutive Thursdays, I think it's safe to assume that her concert is being aired in two parts. Much like they did for Tom Petty, Heart, John Fogerty, Peter Frampton and others.

So I don't think we have to worry.

I forgot she did Sara. I love that she did essentially every song she had done in her live set over the past couple years for the taping. Im excited for Fall From Grace, How Still My Love,
If Anyone Falls, and Crash.

I don't like Crash, but because it's something different, I would like to have an official copy of it. So, I'll gladly take it on Soundstage, then, I would like her to never do it again.

However, she can keep Crash forever, if she would only get rid of Rock and Roll -- which she won't. So I have only the dream and that too will fade, as the world calls me away.

Is there gonna be one or two parts? John Fogerty's had 2 parts.
