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.

Well then I definately think I'll have to do it.

Well I think this makes sense. Wanting to support PBS, I went ahead and ordered it from them. $19.95 + $4.75 S&H. As Richard said, it is what it is. The dvd you get from Soundstage will be the one you'll get anywhere else. I'm seeing that the dvd and cd is listed separately on Amazon and not offered as a package deal(yet). So, I think maybe I'll just get the cd later from them. I'm going to have most of the show taped from the PBS broadcast anyway, so I can wait to see the few songs that'll only be on the dvd, no matter when I get it.

Is the seperate CD listed as the same price as the DVD?

Also I was wondering if anyone could answer a tech question for me? In some TV's you can play a music CD. In some stereo systems made for CD's, can one play a DVD just for the sound?
Now if this can be done I might guess the CD has extra material the DVD doesn't offer. What do ya think? Anyone can answer this. Many opinions are desired.

I still seek the answer to the underlined sentence up top though.

No, you can't do that. You cannot play a DVD-A on a cd player. You must play it on a dvd player.

However, the extra material you were talking about is still a possibility. There are some CDs you can get that have multimedia material on them. FM's enhanced does. So you can get video on the cd. I wouldn't expect that to happen with Soundstage though.

As of right now the dvd is selling for $14.99 and the cd is selling for $18.98 on Amazon, both with a release date of September 9th. Makes me think that they are trying to cut into Soundstage's sales with the lower price? Cause it doesn't make any sense for the dvd to be cheaper than the cd.

DVD pricing has always seemed strange to me. I noticed that many times when there is a chance to get an artist's CD with a DVD or the CD separately, the CD by itself is priced the same as the DVD/CD package. I noticed this with both Amy Winehouse and Janet Jackson. Weird.

Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts on this...it is much appreciated!

Musicman408 · #23 07-20-2008, 07:57 AM

Well shoot, I didn't know that there was going to be a CD of this show either....AH the options are endless....But I think I may just go with the DVD... but then again, with me going off to college, I may not have as much time to watch a DVD, and have more time for a CD, so maybe I should just get both.

Mine's on backorder. I'm really curious about a cd copy now because I think it sounds great. And what songs will make the cut.

sywlindseyfan · #26 07-23-2008, 07:07 PM

I have a feeling that Sara will not be one of those cuts, for some reason I feel as if Stevie doesn't want it re-cut- or re-distributed unless with the mac. But then Iwho am I to say this?? Just on overly obsessive fan.

whitesoxx · #27 07-24-2008, 01:19 AM

Of course Sara will make the cd :-) She performed it especially at the request of the show's producer and the live version turned out very well, and I think it's one of the songs most casual fans as well would like to have on cd and therefore will generate sales.

You can check the staus of your order on PBS' site with your order and confirmation numbers. Chances are, if you just recently ordered, it's on backorder. I ordered mine on July 19th and it is on backorder.

I Hope you guys are right, and I am wrong about Sara, it really was a fantastic song for the show, I raised the telly all the way up and yeled for my mom, and I told her " Can you believe it?!?!?!?!? She hasn't sung this song in a millllioon years!!!" haha (excluding SYW) She and were both very excited, a special mother and son moment.
