I saw that one in the screener pool, but I'm not sure if we'll actually get a copy to review (I'd love to check it out, though!). As if the cover art didn't give it right away, this show is a Pablo Honey/Bends-era concert from May 27, 1994. Though there's no official confirmation of the total DVD contents, I dug up a complete setlist from that particular show courtesy of GreenPlastic.com. Without any further yapping, here it is:

You
Bones
Ripcord
Creep
The Bends
My Iron Lung
Prove Yourself
Maquiladora
Vegetable
Fake Plastic Trees
Just
Stop Whispering
Anyone Can Play Guitar
Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Pop Is Dead
Blow Out

Looks like a decent show. Though I never got the chance to see them until later years, their live performances of earlier songs are supposed to be quite good. Hopefully the DVD will measure up.

Just an update for you guys---this DVD looks like it'll be the port of an old VHS release. Hopefully it'll look and sound good, but I doubt there'll be much in the way of extras. Here's a cover scan of the old release (sorry 'bout the size!), including the setlist:



EDIT: Looks like "Black Star" is on there too.

Now I'm certain this is the one I have. Soundboard from this show. My CD cover art is the same as above. This is a FANTASTIC show, lots of energy from the band. A must have for Bends-era fans of the band.

Is this the same concert that MTV (when they used to show music video ) had on a few years ago? I thought it was an excellent concert. Loved that live version of My Iron Lung.

No, that concert was from 1997 or 1998 and was on that show Live at the 10 spot, and was filmed in New York.

It just doesn't translate well live. Nor does Sulk. That's probably why they didn't play either very much.

The concert you're referring to "Live At The 10 Spot" has lots of songs from "OK Computer". This show does not apparently.

Thank for the correction guys.

Yeah I remember now they did played some songs from OK Computer. Still I wish that concert was on DVD.
