No news at the moment - we'll post details just as soon as they've been confirmed.
Rob Thanks Rob. Rob.

Perhaps - if Uvox havn't secured a label to release the concert - the guys should self release: a downloadable DMR version and a physical DVD-R (or small run press). This way 100% of the profit returns to the band to help fund future projects...

If it isn't the whole gig I for one will be sorely disappointed ! Paul

I can´t believe that the DVD doesn´t consist the complete gig - if not it would be more than disappointing.
In addition I expect also lots of Bonus material -interviews, rehearsals etc.
OMD, Gary Numan, Anne Clark, Erasure also released complete gigs plus bonus material...
PS: By the way: Where are the remaining songs of the Monument gig???????
I never understood why only some songs were released - does anybody have an answer to this??

Also the other artists you listed have not released all thier concerts complete either for usually the very same reasons as Ultravox. Some shows are not released at all, so no-one even knows their incomplete.

I went and read that thread mentioned, and can understand the reasons mentioned in it for not releasing all material if the artiste(s) don't believe the quality is sufficient. That was probably true 25 years ago, maybe even 10-15 years ago, but there is no excuse for it nowadays. We have miniature camcorders that are near DVD quality, phones etc, and some of the youtube footage I've seen (apart from being shaky) is good quality. I for example have a mini-DV camcorder good enough for near broadcast and/or commercial DVD quality. I go back to my original point, in light of today's technology, and an earlier comment that it had been filmed in HD. There should be no excuse for not releasing a full length concert disk, DVD or BLU-Ray.

Having watched all the youtube versions of the songs at the Roundhouse there does not seem to be any major problems with the songs that I could see.. all seemed to go ok. Any volume issues would be easily sorted in the mix.

I agree about any 'enhancing' remixing, but if say, Midge's guitar or vocal was too loud or quiet on a particular song turn it up or down a bit, nothing wrong with that.

About 5 years ago I saw Uriah Heep live and the show was being recorded for a full DVD performance.
The filming crew weren't completely happy with 3 of the tracks and asked the band to come back on and play them again. Which they did.
It was great for us in the crowd to have an extended performance and the DVD was released in full.

I suppose the DVD will be released in due time for the Christmas time ;-)
Midge was so proud in his biography that Ultravox was the first band to put just one new song onto "The Collection" so that it would sell even better.
Hmmm, if the boys are still as clever - or maybe even more? look at the grey hairs of Chris and Billy and Midge, ähhhhm - no comment - they should do so again. Just one bloody song. What about "Alone" from Midge Ure's Move Me CD reloaded and reshaped by the band as an Ultravox song? Or whatsoever.... Just one bloody song, pleeeeease.

And the picture quality on Blu Ray is astonshing !

If its confirmed this won't get a R1 NTSC release, I'll be happy to convert the R2 PAL copy upon proof of purchase.

I appreciate that there is no news about the DVD yet, but I just wondered what the current state of play is? Are the band actively looking for a publisher, or is it a case of waiting for someone to contact them? I have no idea how these things work!

If its only at rough cut stage this far after the event, and budgets etc are being discussed at this point... I'd say this isn't coming out this year.

Sadly probably not. I've been so excited by this but its kinda slipping away now - dont think we'll see it. Real, real shame - it's probably one of those situations - its floating around - and some have seen it - but it never actually comes out for the general masses. There was another band that I followed that did that - theres a superb video knocking around from 2002 - a great tour - but no official release as yet!!!!! Basically its not going to happen and the stuff is securely under wraps - no boots. Who knows - live in hope hey!! Personally I dont care if its a very rough version that comes out - surely the clear interest in the DVD would offset the costs to put something basic together? It's easy enough to knock soemthing together on yer ol apple mac these days yourself.... Mind you then people might moan that there are not enough extras or the quality is not what it shoudl be!! Perhaps its not worth the hastle given some of the responses to the remasters At the moment I'm living off YouTubes - the ones from Duisburg are actually very good soundwise but visually the band are too far away on the vids that have the best sound. Still - better than nowt!! Actually - there was a vid up on youtube by 'Warrior Vision' - its the best sound I've heard on all of the videos so far - Im sure they must have 'doctored' it in some way - it was a take of the Thin Wall at Roundhouse - does anyone know this person? Is there anymore of that quality knocking about by the Warrior Vision? The sound was excellent - very clear and the visual impact was good too - great zoom on Billys violin solo! Go check it out... J

Perhaps its not worth the hastle given some of the responses to the remasters No, it's most definitely the bands intention for the Roundhouse show to get an official DVD release. We were given the rough cut by Live Nation at the end of June. There would have been no point in putting on the extra London show, or spending money on getting it professionally filmed for it not to be made available to the wider public at some stage.

Given the amount of stuff of, at best, 'variable quality' that's available on sites such as YouTube, I imagine it's exactly the reason the band would want a professionally released film capturing the Return to Eden show to be out there in the world and available for people to see.

That's actually a very healthy attitude to have. Considering WMG's little tiff with YouTube and other similar cases, there's the fact that YouTube imposes certain restrictions on uploaded videos - initially to avoid issues with allocated server space and such, but it's also an effective countermeasure to avoid "pirates" posting wholesale DVD rips online. But bootlegs have been going on since personal tape recorders first hit the public market, and this is no different. Most of the recordings from the RTE tour are from other gigs than the Roundhouse anyway, but my point is that it's much better to use YouTube for strategic marketing, and then give the fans a treat with a proper DVD release of one of the highlights of the tour. I'm holding out for a Christmas release, and although I'm satisfied with having the show on DVD, I hope there's a couple of goodies on the disc for the anoraks in the crowd. I'd love for the DVD to have an audio commentary track, if that's not too much to ask. Like I said, I'll be happy as long as it's released, but if I could ask for anything, it would be audio commentary. Since it cannot be said often enough - a big Thank You to the EV crew for their unrelenting fire of enthusiasm - even when some of the fans take a turn for the nastier. Fantastic job so far, people!
