What's up with the Montreaux DVD???

When I hit that nice Prince2013.com site, it looked like we were finally in for the Montreaux DVD on official release. Now what happened? Another teaser vanishing in the purple universe???

I know - who knows - the ways of the Purple One are mysterious...

Wasn't there some rumor of the old release getting shelved in favor of recording this year's Montreux performance for release?

.

I wish Prince would just put them up on 3rdeyegirl for $7.77 a show (in 720p HD)

there's music in the air
the sounds of joy and celebration

1080p, please, if we're wishing. And a Blu-Ray release to coincide with the DVD release.

I was wondering the same thing today. As said above P may have forgotten about it already (as well as these bootlegs 4 daze we were supposed to get on 3rdeyegirl.com...) but it's only May. if nothing has happened by December we can consider it another teased and shelved project (we've had so many already...) shrug

It's Prince we're dealing with. Do not expect anything but be prepared for the unexpected.

And puhlease: check your geography before uttering a location's name.

It's Montreux.

This was a blurb for the 2009 release of the full Montreux concert, both shows. I hope it still happens, but if history is any indication, we will never hear about it again. I would love to have this show in any quality!

You all should tweet 3rdeyegirl about the status, see if you get a reply, at the least, it would show that there is still a lot of interest.

peace

Latest news as far as i know is that montreux 2013 will be filmed and we can only hope a deal for dvd-release can be made.

See dr. Funkenberry : http://www.drfunkenberry....cast-more/

"MONTREUX JAZZ FEST 2013 IS COMPLETELY SOLD OUT! THERE ARE 3 ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SHOWS PRINCE IS WORKING ON NOW. THE WHOLE EVENT WILL B FILMED FOR RELEASE IF THE RIGHT DEAL CAN BE STRUCK. THERE WAS NEVER AN OFFICIAL DVD RELEASE OF ANY MONTREUX PERFORMANCE. WHAT IS OUT THERE IS BOOTLEG AND MUSICIANS RECEIVE NO INCOME FROM IT.

Here is hoping that a Montreux deal can be reached!"

If prince doesn't release anything he will not earn one single $. I'm so glad that there are bootlegs. These days you don't have to pay for them. So prince loses nothing but respect because he doesn't give fans what they want.

Well he could easily sell The Montreux 2009 on his new site now and then Montreux 2013 later this year. It's sad that hes not selling more stuff on 3rdEyeGirl.com, another wasted opportunity 4 Prince 2 release lots of stuff and earn some $ cuz he seems 2 have lost interest in the site already

It's their own damn fault that they did not make any money from video footage from any of the performances in Montreux, yet.

Be glad for bootlegs because else we would not have anything.

That is the so called misguided feeling of entitlement.

All the hoopla about shows and filiming them, then not releaseing them with stupid excuses. I did not forget Montreux 2009.

And I didn't even touch upon his communication during these shows.

Must have skipped Swiss geography back in the days... But I took note in English class, there is no such thing as puhlease
