I am trying to break your heart DVD

[hwllo]

i've heard good things about the DVD but haven't seen it. They have it at the borders by my house but it's l;ike $30. i'm just wondering if you guys think it's worth it?

[bleedorange]

Yes.

[Basil II]

as long it's the 2 disc edition.......and a fan of Jay Bennett.......it is worth it.

 

 

 

-Robert.

[Groo]

$30? Nope.

[hwllo]

yeah it is the two disc version

[quarter23cd]

I have watched mine exactly once in the three years I have owned it.

 

Wouldn't sell it, though.

[IATTBYB]

I will sell you mine for $20. It's the two disc edition. PM if you are interested.

[Sir Stewart]

I saw it in a theater when it came out and rented it once since, enjoying it a lot both times. $30 though? Yikes.

[NationalDust]

You can get the two disc version used on Amazon.com for like $10

 

Is it worth $30? yes... but obviously not if you have the option of buying for a lot cheaper.

[WilcoFan]

Even new versions on Amazon are cheaper:

jesus christ, i've watched atleast one of the discs twice a month since it came out. it may be my favorite dvd ever. i'd pay $100 if it cost that much.

[cryptique]

It's worth owning, but work on that price a little.

[noyes]

30 is the retail price.

try to find a cheaper dvd somewhere but it's not like it's 50 or anything.

30 isn't that bad for a two disc dvd.

[Dude]

I have watched mine exactly once in the three years I have owned it.

 

Wouldn't sell it, though.

 

Have you seen it with the commentary track? It turns a tragedy into a comedy.

[MunkyKayse]

With the commentary track, it's like having 3 discs. 3 discs in 2.

[jdmel]

i bought it, loaned it out, had to buy it again, dont regret it. I also waste a lot of money regularly, for example: yesterday i left the house with 100 and went golfing, the beach, and to wieners circle and somehow came home with 20 bucks... dont know what i spent that 80 dollars on

[mountain bed]

Easily one of my favorite music docs ever.

$22.07 at Deep Discount DVD for two-disc version. And grab the 2-disc Fearless Freaks for $15.07 while yer at it. And Neko Case at ACL (featuring me!) for $14.14.

[Guest ChooChooCharlie]

I bought the two disc version used for about $20. Worth every Penny. I'd say $30 new seems fair, unless of course you find it less elsewhere.

 

I'd suggest the documentary to anyone who considers themselves a fan of YHF. If your not a fan, it'd probably make you a fan. When you have the visual reference of what went into making the record, alternate tracks recorded, decisions that were made, the drama that ensued surrounding it's pre release and the inner band conflict that came to a head during the process, it's likely you'll listen to the record with an illuminated perspective. At least I did...

 

And although this may not have any effect on you at all, the title shot where he's driving down lakeshore (Wacker and Lincoln at some points too I believe) on a typical Chicago drizzly winter day, with the opening credits rolling to an acoustic version of I am trying to break your heart-Gets me every time! Wilco and Chicago can be personally synonymous for me at times, and YHF especially as it was released when I was a resident. I no longer am, but watching that opening scene can sometimes make me long for the days when I drove down those same streets on days just like that one.

Well enough of that....Go out and buy that disc! You won't regret it

 

And if you're still not convinced, This thread discusses one of the most interesting scenes in the film..

[suites]

I do not think that they even haev a 1 disc version......I think they only have the 2 discs.

 

No question that you need to get this.

 

If you take enough time to be on this board you wust love Wilco. This is the only official stuff out there and it is awesome to boot.

[wheelco]

yeah it is the two disc version

I've only watched the movie twice, but i've watched the bonus DVD 25 times

 

it's worth it, but you should be able to get it for about $22.99 I'd think . . .

But, you can

, and judge for yourself. Whatever you wind up paying, for fear of sounding like those credit card commericals, in my humble opinion, it's priceless..

Used car salesman says: A must in any Wilco lovers collection.

[tugmoose]

Best moment in the whole thing:

 

On the bonus disc, Jeff is recognized by a fan on an NYC sidewalk. Fan says what a thrill it is to meet him and asks for an autograph. Fan hands Jeff a snippet of paper and Jeff starts writing away. Fan tells Jeff "I saw you at the Trocadara and Irving Plaza." Jeff keeps writing, head down, cigarette dangling, for a about 15 or 20 seconds before responding "Oh yeah?"

 

Friggin' hilarious.
