Analogman Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 i'm loving this, but.... why can't complete shows be released ?all those Bonds shows should be out. who makes these decisions Exactly - I wish Fridays would come out on DVD. Pete is doing the same thing with Who stuff - now. He is going to put some complete shows - after various clip collections such as this one. I bet down the line the powers that be will do the same with the Clash stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 it really makes no sence Springsteen is finally putting complete shows out I often think to remember that most things like this are not for the hardcore, but rather the causal fan - or new fan. He is - I did know that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'll buy this, but yeah...I'd also buy a Bonds box set with full shows, spend much more, and be happier about it. I also pretty much don't care about seeing any of the Shea Stadium stuff ever again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of DVDs...didn't you mention once that you, uh, knew a guy who found some Faces DVD torrent stuff? Where might someone find something like that (specifically the BBC show that vh1 classic has been reairing over the past year)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where might someone find something like that (specifically the BBC show that vh1 classic has been reairing over the past year)? I have it - I recall the first torrent of that was fooked up, and then someone re-did it. I don't really recall where I got it though - tape city, maybe. I'd be surprised if it was still being seeded. I can look when I get home - I don't like to go to BT sites at work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ction Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I also only view that stuff at home, and even then only for research purposes. But I, uh, know a guy who recently got a DVD burner and is looking for good live music stuff to burn and watch with his kids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
