Boradcasting Live DVD has been released

[iamnotafraid]

I purchased this DVD too. It's video and sound quality aren't any better than the boot I already have. I was really hoping that the sound quality would be improved, surely somebody has this concert in better audio. This is my favorite era from Stevie's great career, too bad we don't have an authorized concert from this period (Wild Heart). And the pro-shot Largo show just sits in the vaults.....

Sounds like it is the same thing as the "Broadcasting Live" only in different packaging. It says it was made in 2005 by Internal Gerbil Entertainment, 56 C St. Andrew Parkway Footscray, Victoria 3011.

Setlist is:

Gold Dust Woman
Outside the Rain
Dreams
Gold and Braid
I Need to Know
Gypsy
Angel
Leather and Lace
Stand Back
Band Intros
How Still My Love
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
Edge of Seventeen
Rhiannon

I also ordered one by Fleetwood Mac called "Evolution" which is supposed to be a compilation of tv shows from the seventies and eighties. I already have lots of compilation videos, but maybe this one will be good quality. In the past, they have been copies of copies.

I didn't see anything in the Canadian Amazon.com but seeing by your post, I have this same dvd. Bought it on ebay last month for $14.99. Brought me to tears seeing how she thanked the fans towards the end.

That's about the only 80's concert of her's I like (and the HBO special). Her music was pretty bad after The Wild Heart because of all the synthesizer's she used and ect.

So, now the same little shop sent me a Fleetwood Mac "Evolution" boot. Says it was made by "Bad Wizard Video" in 2005. It's a compilation of things floating around on Youtube. Good enough quality, but I ordered it before I saw the track list or I probably would have passed.

It has:

Playboy after Dark 1969: Rattlesnake Shake

Monster Music Mash 1969: Oh Well, Bad Woman Blues

Swedish TV 1969: Rattlesnake Shake

Top of the Pops (solo) 1971: Heavy Heart

Don Kirshner's Rock Concert 1974: Green Manalashi, Spare Me a Little, Black Magic Woman

Midnight Special 1976: Rhiannon, Miles Away, Over My HeadRosebud Film
1977: Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, Go Your Own Way, I'm So Afraid

So how does the picture quality of this DVD compare with the upgraded picture quality of the same performance a few years ago? Or is one just taken from the other?

hi david...well i have to say since my other copy got scanned and scratched in the post office sorting machine that i love this dvd...yes it's smaller bc of the borders around it but the pic quality is phenominal...there is a little distortion on the dvd when u play it loud but i believe the boots have that too...its my belief that this was taken from the exact same tape so for those that don't have the u.s. fest it's a fantastic show and one of my all time favs...i totally agree that this was without a doubt stevie at the peak of her career...if anyone wants one i can pick it up for u here in hmv canada and mail it to u...i do paypal so just pm me and we'll get u one...price is 12.95 plus tax and shipping...take care...pat
