I can't believe it hasn't ben released yet. I watched it when first aired and have been waiting to buy it in DVD. That was always my favorite episode of this series. Does Shout have to deal with the record company as well to get this released? I know several other "LBR" have been released, but not this one. |

Hope you guys can push a commercial release along. It was one of the most entertaining concert performances I watched in a long time. |

The second thing is that, unfortunately, concert DVDs really don't sell well at all. Let me preface this by saying that I'm exactly this kind of person, but it takes a special kind of person to not just want to pop a CD in or to press play on their MP3 player, but to want to put a live concert into their DVD/Blu-ray players. Most people-i.e. not uber fans or audiophiles--listen to music for atmosphere and are satisfied with a CD vs. a live concert DVD.
Does that make this an impossible request? Absolutely not. But terms have to be reasonable, due to the low expected sales. And for an artist like Phil Collins, I can't see them wanting to take less than they feel he's worth.

I understand what your saying as I know a few people who prefer to do the same, and know some others like me who are not easily categorized. So I like to think there's some diversity in there somewhere.
Thanks Brian for clearing this up and putting it in perspective. |
