Sounds better than the previous tracklist

Translation:

"selected per4mances" = edited footage

"recorded live" = with added overdubs

"recent songs NOT found on the "One Nite Alone...Live!" Box Set" = an explination for those fams who wanted to see songs like "Rainbow Children" & "Muse...", etc..

"xclusively" = Will be sold in a retail store in time, the word xclusive to us means "first" not "not available anywhere else but here"

"All DVDs will be ready 2 ship" = After a 2 week back order


= This post is a joke and is NOT meant 2 be taken seriously by people with NO sense of humour, so cheer up!

adding "NOT found on the ONA box set" implies to me that they were choosing songs we didn't already have when they were putting this together. And trying to give us a show many of us have not seen several times already (how many ONA shows did YOU wind up going to?). I was at the Vegas show but had never seen him perform Pop Life, Whole Lotta Love, Push and Pull, or Strollin' before. I have the box set for the rest of the set list, I'm looking forward to what I DON'T have yet that's on the DVD.

No, they are saying that on August 12th, you can't get it anywhere else. The August 12th release date is exclusive to the club. But hey... I don't want to ruin your sh*tty mood - get it all out!

I follow your logic, do you think that the show in Vegas was better than the rest of the tour? I would much rather have a copy of the ONA Houston show than the edited footage from the Vegas stop.

DonnieDarko said:

Yes, that's what im saying too.

and im not in a sh*tty mood as u put it, just lighten up a bit, im only making light of NPG's business track record - it's only s@tire yo.

dnaplaya said:

"All DVDs will be ready 2 ship on the same day u place ur order so don't hesitate 2 get this one." = 2 all of those of U who still haven't received NEWS despite ordering it over a month ago, we won't fuck up again this time. We swear! We promise!

What is the track list???

dnaplaya said:

You can say your post is a joke, but unfortunately it's the sad truth.

No information about the DVD Region
No information about the tracklist
well...

How come haven't I received the e-mail? Are there more NPGMC members who haven't received it?

Yippee! Hooray for NPGMC!

Aren't I lucky? I not only received my N.E.W.S disk with NO complaints, but I'll probably get the DVD the same way too!

JeePee said:

Yes, True. At least U know the angle im coming from. For some, it went straight over their head.

dnaplaya said:

Well, if this was funny, a sense of humor would be needed.

VINCENT said:

Just wait! It isnt released for another month! DAMN!

Why didn't he make a dvd of the whole show for the fan club members and release the short version to the public?. I don't know about anyone else but I don't really want half of a concert.

whilst this dvd comes well short of our expectations i still think it may do well commercially as there are some well known tracks on it. Also from a marketing point of view the fact that he is on the front cover in full flow with his axe should help push a few more sales. At the end of the day if you want to see the full show badly enough go and source the Japan DVD !, its Princes loss that we would have paid as much to see the full show as well as hear it on the ONA cd.

NICE!!! THis oughta be a treat considering the affordable price and the fact that I went to this show.

Nice price.

Which Japan shows are the ones to get?

this dvd will be at bestbuy august 19 th

The DVD we will be selling on August 12th will be a region-free NTSC DVD.

What does this mean?

Will it play in Europe?

hmmm. I think I'll order that at the same time as NEWS so I only have to pay that $6.50 handling charge once.

It means that it will play on all types of dvd players it is not region specific.

Fuck that shit! Everyone BUY BOOTLEGS!!!

daddypop said:

...but the problem could be the NTSC format, because not all non-US TVs accept this, as far as I know.

People complaining about half a show etc.I seem to remember SOTT was an edited show even filmed at seperate locations and with overdubs too.

look how that turned out, give it a chance!

Well, it sho ain't no Sign O' The Times.

Guh.

Does anyone know if the regions for DVDs only effect TV screens, or do they apply to computer monitors too?? I don't have a DVD player, but I never seem to have a problem playing DVDs and VCDs on my computer, no matter where I order them from. However, I haven't had a chance to play the ones I have on a TV screen!
