NickZepp Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's hard to fit 3 and a half our long shows into 1 DVD. And the Earls Court and Knebworth shows were all over 3 and a half hours long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Although the DVD is terrific, in general - the disk #1 could have had better choices. No Quarter slipped in there, somewhere, would have been nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Quarter slipped in there, somewhere, would have been nice? Maybe Earls Court and Knebworth will be released in their entirety as separate releases at some point so it was prudent to hold back some material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Quarter slipped in there, somewhere, would have been nice? Dude are you kidding me? Disc 1 is all early days stuff... The Royal Albert Hall performance preceeded No Quarter by 3 years.. not the same era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 What i want ot know is why they were not put on the DVD. First - that DVD was intended to cover their whole career, so putting more Knebworth would have left less time for something else. Second - they were choosing the best performances for the DVD. There is complete video of both Knebworth concerts but some songs just weren't performed up to the standards that the band wished to put out on the DVD. Third - Page & Kevin Shirley have both reported that for some songs there were problems with the multi track recordings. It's one thing for there to be a bootleg on Youtube with a stereo audience or soundboard audio track. But if there wasn't a full multi-track audion that they could do a proper mix & production on, then that song wasn't considered for the DVD. Fourth - well sometimes it's just simply avoiding duplicating a song. There would have been no point putting, for example, three different versions of STH on there. I'm sure there are some other perfectly legitimate reasons as well, but that'll do for now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i wonder if we will ever see the official release of the complete show at Earls court or Knebworth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmorek Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i wonder if we will ever see the official release of the complete show at Earls court or Knebworth I already have DVDs of both, so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huw Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i wonder if we will ever see the official release of the complete show at Earls court or Knebworth See the third point in my post above. For that reason it's unlikely we'd ever get a complete Earl's Court or Knebworth. Best hope would be some kind of composite "best of"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
