2008 North American Tour DVD

curry301 · May 13, 2008, 05:03:16

Are there any plans to make and release to the public a DVD from The Cure's 2008 North American tour similar to the 2005 Festival DVD? If so, will it be in HD?

at the moment there are no plans, no rumours and no news.
sorry,

but it's way too early to say "it's not going to happen!"

(in 2005 there were no plans, but the dvd actually ended up to be released)

On a side note, it looked like the band was recording the Philadelphia show. There were microphones back by the soundboard, and audience mics up on the stage. Don't know if it's just for the archives, or if they're planning on doing a live release from this tour...

Same with the Montreal show, mics all over the place.

just an observation (and i don't intend to sound like a smart-ass but) why exactly do people talk about "US tour DVD" when nobody saw any cameras around?
anyway, it looks like they recorded soundboard audios at some shows, and probably only for the band/robert to listen to. the mere fact that there were mics all around doesn't mean anything will get released/is being planned for public release.

They're recording audio for all of the shows (as is 65dos), just like in Europe (or at least Paris and Antwerp). They will occasionally use the audio for soundcheck. Basically for the engineers to get dialed in. There are no plans to use this audio for any live disc.

YEAH!!!
This is the key point for any curefan!
If it's not on HD or Blu Ray - F**k it, cause we don't want it!

it's hard to make a dvd without existing footage, so whether it's HD or blu-ray or what, who cares.

this thread is about discussing imaginary things. just read what crowbi posted above you: they are only recording audio for the sound engineers' purposes, not for release.

God, I hope they capture their shows somewhere along the tour.

I would enjoy a DVD of the Shrine show, but no cameras were seen.

I would think they should do another leg for the U.S tour after the album is out, and film that for a DVD

How do you know this? (Not because I think it's not true, I'm just actually really curious how you learned it. I need to learn how to get me in the know, haha.)
