Soundstage Dvd Shortage!!!??

eric51078 · #1 07-18-2008, 01:13 PM

EDIT: Last night there was a phone number at the end of the broadcast where you could order the DVD for 19.99 plus 5.00 shipping. You can also order it off of the PBS website.

I wasn't able to write down my confirmation number when I placed my order this morning so I decided to call them and get it.

1. She told me to call back Monday because they can't access the info.
2. I asked about when (roughly) it would be shipped
3. She told me they have been overwhelmed with orders and they will most likely not be able to fulfill my purchase that this time but they are ordering more.
4. Credit cards don't get charged until the order ships.
5. It can take up to 7-10 business days to receive it once it ships.
6. It COULD take up to 1 month for it to ship depending on how many orders are ahead of mine.

SO Glad it is selling so well! GO Stevie!! Just hope it gets here soon!!!

Well, ROCK ON, Gold Dust Woman!

I hope it works out for you soon eric, but it's still great to hear Stevie's doing so well!

How can there be a shortage when it is not even released yet?
I'm confused.
Also, you never mention where you ordered it from.
Where did you order it?

I ordered it this morning from PBS.

Thanks for posting the ordering info~ much appreciated! I have a question, though...I thought I had read that they were going to release the DVD with a live CD too...has that been officially cancilled? I only ask because that would be the one I would rather have (I mean both!) and I don't want to order this one, and then have to turn around and get it again to get the cd (which I know me, i will do anyway) so if anyone has any info on that ( I also seemed to think I remember that it was supposed to be released in September???)

Thanks!!

I think I'll have to try and order it on PBS's website. And if there is a chance that by doing that it would get here before september, I'm ALLL for that.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. What's this package going to consist of? I'd like to have it earlier than September, but I can wait if I can get the audio and dvd together. I'd like to see some tracklistings on various sites to prove accuracy.

Same here. I honestly do not think ordering from PBS is going to get you the DVD any earlier than street date. Sure they're taking orders, but I seriously do not think it will ship until later.

Also, I do not know of any Soundstage release ever having multiple versions. So it is what it is and perhaps a bonus CD version will also be released towards street date.

Having said this, obviously the DVD is already manufactured and ready.

Yea, especially now that it is backordered. I'm just concerned about all the typos and discrepancies I'm seeing. For instance "I Need To Know" wasn't supposed to air on the televison broadcast and it was on part 1. So, I think I'm just going to wait this one out. I kind of want to support PBS too for airing this. You know telling them what good taste they have.

I'd like to see them film FM next year on their tour. So this might encourage them to do it and have a fund raiser type of program. I think they do an excellent job with their productions.

I also wish iTunes would pick up the Soundstage TV Shows too. PBS offers some of their shows via iTunes and Soundstage would be a great addition. I've liked almost all of the Soundstage productions. Great series and yes, PBS deserves the support.

As for your great idea of filming FM next year would be great, but in addition the DVD concert package, it should have a film crew along to document the (perhaps) farewell tour backstage and on the road. While their at it, might as well throw on a special feature section that contains all their music videos. And finally, have a blu-ray version.

I think you've got some fantastic ideas there Richard. We need to start a petition of sorts.

My guess would be that ordering it from PBS will get it long before the street date. PBS gets a bigger cut than if you buy it later on. Most likely PBS figured out that the demand is there so they made a deal where they have the exclusive right to the DVD for now.
Buy it thru them and they get the cut, or buy it later at Best Buy or wherever and they don't get the cut. I would expect that ordering it now, will get it to you long before September.
