 | I uploaded the picture of what appears to be an outlay for a DVD record from Webster Hall in the pictures section.
The folks on the Bruce Springsteen board made me aware of this (http://www.backstreets.com/btx --- the "Loose Ends forum") And one of the posters said he heard that the concert was recorded as part of a PBS special on the 25th Anniversary of Graceland.

 | In 2000 I was in Paris at one of the concerts that was recorded for DVD (You´re the one - tour). At the entrance of the Olympia concert hall there was a clear message that there was a recording. Going in meant that one approved being filmed as concert audience. |

| I read that it was being recorded by PBS for a "Graceland" 25th anniversary special.
Too bad. He really should have recorded some of the shows on this tour for a live DVD & double live CD release. It´s been too many years since a DVD (11 yrs.) & even more since a live album (20 yrs.). |

 | Someone on Dime posted "I have it directly from the promoter that Paul is releasing a live DVD culled from this show and from the other club shows."
Would be fantastic if it was 2 disc set with the Webster show on one disc and then random performances on the other disc - maybe from other shows, SNL, Glastonbury etc.
Even better if a Blu Ray! :-) |

| haha...don´t make us dream Matthew...
Realistic: a DVD/Blue Ray with around 22 songs (1-2 missing), and no extras.
Dream: What you say.
But hey, people are singin on stage this time, so we can expect everything. I am really happy that a new DVD will come out. I Love watching concert videos...you know, most of the time you have a much better sound and view than beeing at the show. And you can watch it again and again. |

| Hi Bodo, I agree with you 110%. For example, the Blu Ray of Billy Joel´s Shea shows is almost better than the experience itself of being out there in 98 degree weather.
I felt as though the Merriam shows sounded so good that it was actually like being inside of a Palladia concert you see on cable |

| I was also stunned by the great sound at the Merriam Theater. It was, in my opinion, even better than the legendary Massey Hall in Toronto.
I REALLY wish that he was filming & recording the shows in the small theaters. There is less crowd noise & the sound is better (at least it was at the two theaters I was at- Massey Hall in Toronto & Merriam Theater in Philly compared to the two clubs- Sound Academy in Toronto & Webster Hall in NYC).
I also REALLY, REALLY hope for BOTH a live DVD AND a live double CD!! And finally, I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope that he goes all out & includes, at least on the CD, as many songs as possible from the tour. He performed well over 30 different songs, and I hope he packs as many on the play list of each CD as possible. I´ve heard close to all of them, and I couldn´t think of any I´d cut.
THIS TOUR REALLY DESERVES A LIVE DVD & DOUBLE LIVE CD!!! |

| Who is Jim Oblon? Man there REALLY should be an official DVD of this tour!!!! NOT TO MENTION A DOUBLE LIVE CD!!
Look at how great those situations worked for Leonard Cohen with his last tour...so well that they followed up the double live "Live In London" CD/DVD with another singe CD/DVD "Songs From The Road".
Shoot with how many songs Paul´s performed he could do a very long double CD/DVD, or run the Cohen route. It´s REALLY too bad if they miss this opportunity.
People are just blown away by this tour & I think it would help him on every level to do this!!! |

| Oops...never mind...Google is your friend.
Paul usually introduced him as "The Kid" at the shows I saw. Amazingly talented, and I promise not to forget his name anytime soon!!! |

 | Paul ALWAYS has good bands backing him,but would you guys agree that the current line-up is about as good as it gets? I´ve only seen the videos on YouTube etc,but the sound they,and Paul make,is simply sublime! Mark Stewart is an incredible band just on his own. I agree with linkclink,that they should release as much of this tour´s setlists as they can on dvd,blu-ray,and compact disc. |

| My theory is, as long as an official recording was made, it´s only a matter of time before it begins to circulate among fans.
Take "Simon & Garfunkel Live at the Hollywood Bowl" for example. I can see why it was never officially released (technical problems) but it would have been a sin to never share it with anyone, as most of the performance and on-stage banter is pure gold.
I look forward to someday hearing official recordings from this tour as well as many of the other tours that have been both video and audio recorded. Only a matter of time. |
