So for the majority of folks seeing this, that is not the impression they got. Let's not forget too, that when the credits were rolling, Stevie dressed in her BATB attire was being shown. To me, that would be an indication of it being part of what the extra footage would be. I guess it's no big deal really, except for our frustration and PBS' lack of principle. There is a return policy on their website that states "we're not happy, if you're not happy". So I think PBS will gladly refund the money to anyone who does not want this dvd as it stands now.

Doesn't PBS just say what the disc manufacturer want it to say? I bet you guys would get further by sending complaints to the company that's selling the DVD, not PBS. What the heck does PBS know about it?

To me it really doesn't matter who is ultimately responsible for what the dvd contains. I've cancelled my order. I'm done with it. Perhaps PBS doesn't bear all the blame, but Soundstage does air on their station and that's where the advertisement was made. So, to that extent they should be held somewhat accountable.

Actually, I wonder if someone is going to call PBS and ask a customer service rep about the missing additional footage that was mentioned at the end of the broadcast and see what they say.
If no one does that by the time I get mine, I just might call them and ask.[/QUOTE]

I'll be one of the one's who call too. Although, I wanted to talk to someone in person when I bought mine and couldn't figure out how to. Sometimes you can just press O and it takes you to a live person but that didn't work when I tried it.

I'm wondering if, when they used that wording at the end of Part 1, they were considering the songs from Part 2 as the "bonus footage not seen on tonight's broadcast."

And then, of course, vice versa.

Mind you, even if that is the case, it's an extremely misleading way to word things.

Exactly what i logged on to type what i thought was PBS' "out" though you said it better than i would've, Mr. Stew. "Edge of 17" wasn't seen in Part 1, so people ordering that week would (technically) get material not seen on PBS that night when ordering the DVD. I'm just amazed there's a release of this DVD without Dreams! Ha-- the one Stevie Nicks song i've always said i'd be happy never to hear again, and looking at the back of the DVD cover, i was like 'where's Dreams'?

LOLOLOLOL.. Sandy.. I'm LOVING your Signature pic! That's WONDERFUL! How appropriate for this thread! LOLOLOLOL..

You know, you could have a point there! Never thought about it like this... but still - it's very misleading, and I still have a very bitter taste in my mouth toward PBS for this type of false advertisement.

Absolutely!! It is "PBS" Soundstage, and ultimately THEY were the ones who advertised the "extra footage" on the dvd, which was not the case, according to those that got the dvd's.

Thank you. I tried to find the most intense recent Stevie stare I could find through all my screen caps I took of the Soundstage show. You know world leaders should get Stevie to glare at the bad guys and make them back down. Betcha it would work.

OMG..

I'm dying laughing over here.. I have to say that Stevie's "intense stares" have to be one of the most powerful weapons there are! Remember on The Dance dvd, where Stevie is singing to Lindsey on Silver Springs how she was going to follow him down to the sound of her voice will haunt him? ROTFL.. I was thinking, 'If Stevie could only (can) that stare of hers, she could sell that as a weapon, and open it up on people who get in her way or even Lindsey when he acts like a fool".. It's hilarious..

The leaders of the world can unleash the "Stevie Stare" at the bad guys and they would back down in a heart beat. Stevie could save the world.

I'm going to start using that expression on people, "Hey you better chill out or I'm going to open up a can of Stevie Stare on you!" LOL. That should put them in their place if they know what's good for 'em.

That's really lame that things were cut. They'd better make up for it, otherwise I won't be buying this thing.

As much as Stevie ROCKS YOUR SOCKS (as I still try to get used to it) I am surprised that you would balk at purchasing a crystal clear, beautifully filmed Stevie Nicks production--despite that it's missing "Dreams" and "Beauty & The Beast." Weren't you the one standing on a chair waving wildly at Miss Nicks just a few months ago?
