i dont know if this will ever happen but it would be great if they ever released the old eps of Solid Gold on DVD..i mean there are so many performances that would be cool to see again!.

remember the Solid Gold dancers?!

dear Gawd.. i dunno bout solid gold.. but Bandstand and soul train... Hell yeah...

remember when Marilyn McCoo was the host?

lol Solid Gold for the cheese factor. But I'd love all three on DVD. I don't think it'll ever happen with music clearance issues. Broadcast is one thing, selling on DVD is another.

How did SNL do it? Did they just have more clout/money?

That's one of the first things I think of when someone says her name.

I dunno. I only presume to know what I'm talking about

Mazerati said:

hehehe....I was just talking about this very thing with my sister last week.

That and "Dance Fever".

I'd love to have that one too. There are so many musical shows I wish they would release on DVD such as:

"Soul Train" from the 1970s and early 1980s.
"Black Gold" (a local "Soul Train" type show that was in my area at that time)
"American Bandstand" from the 1970s and the early 1980s
"Solid Gold"
"Dance Fever"
"The Midnight Special"
"Don Kirshner's Rock Concert"

I agree. I have many taped episodes of the show including both performances of P doing "Little Red Corvette" and the best one, "1999". I loved Solid Gold. I remember Arsenio used to be on there sometimes. Great period, very early 80's.

These were two of my favorite shows. I thought I read about the possibilities of a DVD a while back but haven't heard anything since.

vainandy said:

My gawd we're old i remember those shows like yesterday

TheRealFiness said:

Yep, those were the good old days. I saw my first Prince video on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert in 79.

I don't know. Getting "Solid Gold" on DVD to like is the equivalent of spending good cash on a "Dynasty" box set. In other words, a complete waste of cash.


80's relics!

Yeah, that's when we were young. Now we come down the "Soul Train" line with our walkers.

Sure was. My grandmother always thought Madame was an immitation of Dionne Warwick.

hey guys,I was surfing the web and I found a cool site devoted to the show...

They have a message board...maybe we could start an on-line petition to get this show released on DVD? lol

since it last aired on vh-1 in reruns in 1998 its logical that it may pop up someday on vh-1 classics

Mazerati said:

I would love to see that. I remember when Prince was on there.

Don't forget The Time & Vanity 6.I remember Culture Club,Rick Springfield, & even the Plasmatics were guests!

My favorite dancer was Darcelle. She was the sistuh with the bad shape and really long braids. (I think she was married to someone famous, but I can't remember who.)

I only saw Sum 41s "We're All to Blame" video once, but I liked it because it spoofs the Solid Gold Dancers.

Personally, I would LOVE to see early Soul Train shows on DVD. I'd even go out an buy a DVD player!

Andre Cymone was on there also.
