Is the Bella Donna tour available on DVD?

I know it was released on laser disc, but not sure if it was ever released on DVD. I wish her company would release the complete concert with an accompanying CD of the music.......... Ahhhhh a guy can just dream, cause it won't ever happen.

There was a rumor on a Madonna forum saying that alot of concert video footage from the 80s of Warner artists was lost.

you might be able to find it on ebay if someone has burned it from the vhs to a dvd like the tusk documentary. but not from the labels they would be making alot of money if they put these out on dvd, I think you might be able to find also the Mirage Tour concert from HBO. try ebay and see they might be on there.

That probably why the HBO show never got on DVD.They must have somewhat of a good backup copy in a vault somewhere to use.

I don't believe the master tape is lost. And they probably made
first generation copies of it, so it's out there somewhere just waiting
for the Blu ray treatment.

Stevie or her company had access to it when they released her videos
on vhs and laser disc in 1986. And then again in the 90's when they
compiled the Sometimes It's A Bitch video.

I would look forward to this "complete" concert release more than
the supposed In Your Dreams project.

You mean the White Winged Dove Tour?
Well, my mom is a big Stevie fan as well (which is how I ended up obsessed) and has a thing for 70s/80s live footage. My old bestfriend knew that and gave her and I a burnt DVD of the White Winged Dove Tour. It's not incredible quality or anything (what would you expect? lol) but it's watchable. I have no idea where she got it or if she burnt it herself or whatever, but I should ask. I kind of figured that it was like commonly owned if I had a copy of it. Is it not available online?

I hope you are right. I do remember somebody had a pro copy on 3/4 inch Umatic format of the master vid tapes on ebay awhile back.I was out bid and it went for $61 dollars.

I remember the label saying ."Return to Modern Records" after using it.

I wish she has all master copies of all of her works stored in a cool temp controled safe storage place locked up place or at home.

I know I'm a horder and a packrat.if I was an artist.I know I will have clean copies of all of my works stored somewhere.

I also hope there is a good master of the Tusk doc somewhere.

I do remember seeing a DVD copy produced from Brazil.I don't know how good that copy is.

I figure there has to be the original vaulted somewhere............. but, even on the Crystal Visions DVD.........Edge of Seventeen was not the most clear....(and the live version of Leather and Lace should have been included.) I think Stevie should try to get alot of those gems that are vaulted away put now and enjoy the royalties............because I can guarantee, after Stevie is gone.......like weeks after, the companies are going to re-release everything "remastered, special editions, unreleased, etc, etc." and she won't see a penny of it. I know the music business...is exactly that, "a business", but........I really think they could make money if they released now. OK, officially done babbling.
