According to the pledge drive...DVD won't be released until 2014-but if you pledge now, you can have it.

"It's So Easy" first song after first pledge break; "Not Fade Away" opens the broadcast.

Stevie was asked to sing "It's So Easy" because Zooey Deschanel (who sings it on the CD) wasn't available due to her TV commitment.

Huh? That makes no sense! I'm not saying the information is wrong of course, just that it's weird.

Local Philly PBS (WHYY) will be showing the special again Monday, December 6 at 10PM (of course the time may not be exact due to the pledge drive interruptions). This reminds me of trying to tape The Dance back in 1997.

It's a great show--I was told it would be rebroadcast numerous times this coming week.
love, blackcat

PBS was given the show as a fun raiser, but it will be released to the public just as The Dance was. Right now, locally, you can buy the DVD with a pledge to PBS for $100.00, or you could record it yourself off the TV.

If you're in the metro Atlanta area it's reairing at 9:30pm tonight on GPB (channel 8).

Nevermind, it wasn't. Mislabeled by Comcast. Nice.

When did this Zooey thing happen, they still have her name listed on the website. Steve recorded this recently?

henryscutter · #28 12-05-2011, 02:18 AM

Just watched it, Stevie looked and sounded great. It is always interesting to hear her doing songs other than the ones we know and love

Chris Issacs intro to Its So Easy was awesome and HOT . Glad she got to perform that song also. The sound on my recording was a little messed up so I am going to rerecord it later. The whole thing was a very nice tribute with lot of cool performances, I liked Cobra Starship's Peggy Lee and the Fall Out Boy lead singer did a good job of course Stevie was the highlight

here is a clip of the concert tribute which is airing on PBS near you check for your local listings

Maybe this has already been posted, but Stevie was just on this PBS Special.
I knew she was on the Buddy Holly Tribute record (Not Fade Away), but I
had no idea there was going to be a video (DVD) of this.

PBS stated that this is an exclusive for them until 2014 (I believe). So I guess
the only way to purchase it is through them. And possibly only through a
sponsorship of PBS.

I'll be taping it when it comes back on tonight at 1:30 a.m. Central Time.
Check your local listings.
