Live 8 blurb coming in november and tailor made for each country
from the bits
Yeah, I know I said we weren't going to be back until tomorrow, but we've gotten a couple of pieces of DVD-related information that are just too good to sit on until then.
First of all, there's good news and bad news about the release of the weekend's Live 8 event on DVD. EMI has officially obtained the DVD release rights to the biggest ever live concert event, and they'll be releasing it on disc in November. That's the good news. The bad news, unfortunately, is that they plan to tailor each DVD release to the country they're releasing it in... meaning that the U.S. DVD will include more of the Philadelphia concert than anything else, the UK release will include more of the London concert than anything else, etc. Personally, as a music fan, I want EVERYTHING! EVERY performance from EVERY Live 8 concert, not just highlights selected by some record company marketing flak. There ought to be one mega-badass ultimate box set that you can buy to get it all. Then, if EMI wants to sell single or double-disc 'highlights' sets, great. I don't know about you, but watching Live 8 on VH1 and MTV was an unbelievably frustrating experience. You'd just get into a performance, and then they'd cut away to barely-out-of-their-teens VJs bantering inanely with each other or with people in the crowd thusly:
Young Hot Babe VJ: "So what brought you here to Live 8 in Philly today?"
Drunk Dude in Crowd: "Live 8 is awesome, man! Bon Jovi rocks! And like... Africa, man! It's all about the poverty! Wooooooooo!!"
Young Hot Babe VJ: "Right on! Okay, now here's thirty seconds of Elton John from earlier in London..."
Let's hope the DVD release makes a better showing. The Pink Floyd reunion at least was cool. However, speaking of reunions (that should have been), if I have to see Sting aggressively jamming old Police tunes again without Stewart and Andy behind him... grrrr.

Question: without starting a debate, but, although the other releases will all be in PAL, will there be a speed-up issue?

I'm dissapointed more of the Green Day, Velvet Revolver, and Audioslave sets aren't on there. Has there been any word about the "regional" DVDs that are also supposed to be made?
