Soundstage Blu-ray Is Out !!!! Go Get It!!!

kennation · #1 12-17-2008, 11:01 PM

Dearest Friends,

I was told by my friend, Nikolaj, that I needed to post this: YOU MAY PURCHASE THE SOUNDSTAGE STEVIE NICKS BLU-RAY AT SEARS. They do have them IN STORES!!! However: THEY ARE NOT PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED!!! YOU HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR THEM. (They are at interesting lower levels around the televisions!)

It has 16 songs from her soundstage performance, the only songs missing? DREAMS and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. You can also purchase them online and have them shipped, or scheduled for pick up. You should STILL get it before the LIVE IN CHICAGO comes out!

I bought it last night and I have to tell you, You have to hear HOW STILL MY LOVE and watch it being performed like NEVER BEFORE!!!

*Quick Side Note: WE have a 73" DLP Television with surround sound, and Blu-Ray player, THIS WAS THE BEST IN-HOME concert experience I have EVER had! Stevie was literally, "Larger than LIFE!"

Go get it! GO GO GO!

With Love,
KENN

True. Sigh.
The Soundstage DVD saga continues- yes it is at Sears, Blu-Ray Disc, which i found out by surprise in another thread and suggested the writer maybe repost it so we'd all know. Very excited was i, to have the DVD in hand, i got back on the Ledge and thanked the guy then went to watch it... i FORGOT -- one needs a Blu-Ray Disc DVD player to watch a freakin Blu-RayDisc DVD!!
Augggh! It won't play in my dvd player, nor will it play on my 18 month old Mac ibook G4.
So i have this brand-spankin' new Stevie DVD, but i will be **blanked** if i am gonna purchase a new DVD player to watch it. So, i guess it will go to a friend who has a Blu-Ray DVD player-- not sealed, i opened the package, but never watched.
From the other thread, here's the pasted info about the availability of "SoundStage Stevie Nicks Live' at Sears... feeling very stupid now for not remembering Blu-Ray will only play on a Blu-Ray. F*ckers!

It will pass the time until January when, STEVIE LIVE IN CHICAGO will come out. So... in short, LIVE IN CHICAGO will be out in january. If you need a BLURAY Stevie fix... Go get it at SEARS. The songs are great and it is a much better experience than let us say, YOUTUBE!!!! GO GET IT!!!

Love,

THANK YOU, Ken!! You get my vote for 'scoop of the year' or 'most helpful Stevie Nicks fan of the year'-- it seems NOBODY knew it was in stores-- err-- store-- not even StevieNicksInfo, which is an awesome website, no-one knew- i went to Sears just before closing, and sure enough, its there- $24.99-- just popping it in now, but some quick info- at the Sears i went to, theres a display of tvs on end-caps, and 'The Chain' by Fleetwood Mac was playing on the tv- so i looked there, around the corner, on the next endcaps- nothing at eye- level- turns out the Stevie dvds are on the shelf BELOW the tv that was playing 'The Chain'- certainly not 'eye level' -- more like 'dick level' or 'knee level' (or who knows, 'dick to your knee level')-- har--
ahem- well anyway, it is, as you said, Blu-Ray, there is no booklet inside, song list is the same as the PBS dvd (without 'Dreams' or "BATB"-- but still, 16 songs, and BEFORE Christmas, as it had to be, in my heart
And thank you Ken, may i suggest you start a new thread (if you like) because this real news bulletin is kind of hidden in this thread, which i am so glad i decided to read!
Go to Sears, anyone interested-- and remember, ''Knee Level"-- under the tvs
Merry Christmas!

There is a definite difference in the packaging with the Blu-Ray edition of Soundstage. The packaging, is obviously blue, not black...here's what it looks like for those who aren't sure of the difference.

It also looks like the Blu-Ray editions of Soundstage is a recent development and Sears was just given the exclusive rights to release the Blu-Ray DVDs, so that could also explain the March delay of Reprise's CD and DVD versions.

Here's a forum where it's explained...it's a Blu-Ray forum!

Looks like I've found a reason to hurry up and get my PlayStation 3.

I'd previously been waiting to get the PS3 specifically until God of War 3 and Resident Evil 5 came out, but a Stevie Blu-Ray is worth hurrying it up.

Anyone know if the Sears discs are a limited time thing or not?

I picked up a copy this afternoon.
The quality is really amazing.

Well! Isn't this interesting... Such a strange release path this dvd is taking... So basically it's the same DVD as the one through PBS, except this is the Blu-Ray edition... Think I'll wait to see if what they release in March will be released on Blu-Ray as well... I don't need 3 of these.

kennation · #10 12-18-2008, 12:17 PM

I just needed somehting new to get me through. I am totally not ashamed to buy two more of these. The work presented on this Blu-Ray was TOP NOTCH!!!! I have rarely seen her like this! I love it. I am so pleased. I am really excited about these cds...

ashton · #11 12-18-2008, 07:14 PM

I saw this on an HD channel and the two can't even be compared. The picture and audio are much better on the Blu-Ray version. I compared it with the version on my DVR from PBS HD and they are like night and day.

There could have been some extras but at least it was released in a great format.

If you don't have a Blu-Ray player, perhaps this is a good time to invest in one.

Just to keep things in perspective, it is very difficult to tell the difference between DVD and Blu-ray when sitting a reasonable distance from any screen smaller than 40 inches.

I agree, don't break the bank; however, blu-ray is inevitable. My T.V. is 73" so... I can see the detail and appreciate the Blu-Ray for all it's worth. On some level, maybe a little too much detail. LOL

If you can afford it- do it,
KENN

I just got a new Samsung blu ray player two weeks ago. Seeing that ANYTHING Stevie related is coming out on this format is music to my ears! Can't wait to watch this in glorious 1080p resolution.

I'm hoping a complete Fleetwood Mac video collection eventually reaches Blu Ray!
