Bass Hall Outtakes Wishes

[Peestie]

I really wanted Red Rover and SMAP. I wouldn't have said no to the others as well. Personally, I think Holiday Road should have been cut. I realise it's one of his best known songs and that's why it wasn't, but I think the performance isn't great.

I have a feeling that there are a couple of reasons they may not have made the DVD. First of all, the concert was edited for a 90minute TV showing before it was released on DVD so that edit would already have been done therefore it was easier to just use it rather than create a second edit with the other songs. Secondly, the DVD has the Not Too Late documentary which (if I remember correctly) is about an hour long. That brings the total time up to about two and a half hours, which is just about the maximum for a DVD.

So basically I guess it was a comprimise between not having to re-edit the concert and to allow the documentary to fit onto the same DVD as the concert.
