I second the notion regarding the audio of the Saint Tropez 1970. I thought it would be a no-brainer for the bootleggers to rip this & release it on silver discs. I almost bought a cdr rip/burn from an indie record store of this show, but always put it off thinking that someone would put it out. Rover, Godfather-anybody listening?

DLee: You're right. I just checked the Siréne DVD and it is in fact factory pressed silver. It has been some time since I broke it out for a viewing, and was under the impression it was one of the DVD-R releases, but alas, it is indeed silver. There is also the Lost Documentary release that included a DVD with behind-the-scenes footage as well (also silver). Still, not very many documents of this tour on silver regardless, and some of the older items are becoming harder and harder to find. I also would've preferred if the audio of the 27th had been included with Your Favorite Disguise - would've made that set even better in my opinion. And indeed, it would be nice to have all of the other audio from the DVD's on CD as well (Saint Tropez 1970 comes to mind immediately).

I don’t collect DVD’s, videos, tapes/cassettes, or LP’s, etc., but nevertheless I’m curious about this show, as I have a non-commercial CD-R copy of it, and appreciate the very thorough review. As for it being the only live Wall show factory-pressed on silver DVD, are you sure about that, Plomerus? I know that Siréne released at least a few different versions of the Earls Court recording(s) of Aug. 8-9, ’80 (believed to be soundboard) on DVD, and I think that at least one of them, if not all of them, was released on factory-pressed silver. Anyway, I’m hoping that eventually someday this Feb. 27th, ’80 show is released as an audio-only 2-CD. Wouldn’t it be great if all DVD material was also available on audio-only CD’s?
