Earl's Court

[Dutch Boy]

Can someone please tell me why there isn't a definitive video version of the 1975 Earl's Court show? I have seen all of the clips but would pay anything for the entire show on DVD. I mean a well photographed version similar to the single song videos. Does it exist? If not, why?

Probably Robert signed off on the tracks released on the official DVD but would go no further. Jimmy probably also favored the compilation concept of the DVD rather than a full single show.

It's a damn shame that's what it is. They have the full pro-shot of the 24th & 25th. They also have the 23rd multi-tracked (though the kick drum is missing from the second half) and possibly the 18th as well. They could put together one hell of a show with all of that material. A best of the multi-tracked night's synched up to the video. It would be a master work IMO.

The 18th (and 17th) was not multitracked.

I knew the 17th was not but was not sure about the 18th. Either way, there is more than enough material there to put together one hell of a show.

@SteveAJones awhile back made some posts that it was a possibility. Nothing definite. I would hope so….

I just watched Stairway from Earls Court (it popped up on youtube feed)

 

They do not show JPJ one time....

Long, long overdue.  They could easily restore the missing kick drum using the method Pink Floyd did for their vintage live Dark Side release in the ultimate boxed set.
