Eight Classic Music Films to Be Re-Released in 2026 in High Definition 

Studio City, CA – Lightyear Entertainment announces that it has embarked on a major project to remaster and future-proof its classic music films.  Shot and edited on videotape in the 80’s, there was no way to go back to 35mm film materials.  But using modern technology, the company has successfully remastered eight of them in High Definition for the first time.

Lightyear CEO Arnie Holland said: “These films are some of the best music films ever, starring some of the biggest artists ever.  Some are concerts, some are documentaries, and one is a unique feature film.  All were in Standard Definition.  It was sad for me to watch them become so fuzzy and outdated, when these beloved artists’ music is still vibrant and relevant.  Technology had pushed these classic films aside, but now technology has made them great again.  Yes, we used AI programs to accomplish this. While I am as worried about the future of AI as most other people, right now it’s a great tool.  And ignoring the possibilities of what it can do doesn’t make sense.  We owed it to these major artists to use every tool we could find in order to preserve and future-proof these films.”

All of the eight films were produced in the 80’s before Lightyear’s 1987 management buyout of RCA Video Productions, Inc.

The first film to be newly released was Elvis ’56 Remastered, on February 20.  For that one a BluRay was released for the first time along with a release to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD.

On June 5, the following films will be released to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD:

Eurythmics: Sweet Dreams (the Video Album) Remastered

Jefferson Starship: The Definitive Concert Remastered

Stevie Nicks: Live at Red Rocks Remastered

On August 21, the following films will be released to Digital platforms in TVOD, SVOD, AVOD and YVOD:

A Night with Lou Reed Remastered

Rick Springfield: The Beat of the Live Drum Remastered

Waylon Jennings: America Remastered

Return to Waterloo (a film by Ray Davies of the Kinks) Remastered

Waylon Jennings America was released on DVD in 1986.  It has never been offered to Digital platforms before.  The film includes scenes with Robert Duvall, Hank Williams, Jr. and Johnny Cash.

Return to Waterloo is a 60-minute feature film (released theatrically by New Line Cinema), and, instead of dialog by the actors, the story is told almost exclusively by the lyrics of original songs penned by storyteller extraordinaire Ray Davies.

Elvis ’56 was originally seen on Cinemax after debuting at Sundance; Stevie Nicks Live at Red Rocks on HBO, Rick Springfield’s The Beat of the Live Drum (directed by David Fincher) on HBO, Eurythmics Sweet Dreams on MTV, A Night With Lou Reed on MTV.

All of the film remastering was produced in-house by David Lawrence, Lightyear’s Director of Film Acquisition. Sound mastering adjustments were done by Sky Spooner, Lightyear’s Executive Vice President.

Lightyear Entertainment, a distributor of independent films and music, was founded in 1987. https://lightyearentertainment.com/

Stevie Nicks Stuns in Custom Galliano at Her First-Ever Met Gala

After decades of influencing fashion from concert stages around the world, Stevie Nicks finally made her long-awaited debut at the Met Gala on May 4 — and in true Nicks fashion, the moment felt nothing short of magical.

The legendary Fleetwood Mac frontwoman arrived at fashion’s biggest night in a breathtaking custom gown created by celebrated designer John Galliano for Zara, marking the singer’s first-ever appearance on the famed Met steps at age 77.

According to a press release, the one-of-a-kind ensemble perfectly captured the mystique and theatrical elegance that have defined Nicks’ style for decades. The dramatic black and midnight blue gown featured a sweeping crinoline silhouette with an overlay skirt adorned in intricate appliqué roses crafted from layers of tulle and chiffon. As the sprawling skirt cascaded down the Met’s iconic staircase, the look instantly became one of the evening’s most memorable fashion moments.

This year’s gala theme, “Fashion is Art,” celebrated the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring 2026 exhibition “Costume Art,” making Nicks’ cinematic, romantic look a fitting addition to the night’s artistic spectacle.

The ensemble was completed with a silk taffeta and velvet jacket that shimmered beneath the gala lights, along with one of Nicks’ signature accessories — a towering black top hat accented with feathers. The piece was created in collaboration with famed milliner Stephen Jones, further elevating the gothic glamour of the look.

While Nicks is famously associated with flowing shawls, moon necklaces, and layered bohemian jewelry, she opted for a more refined approach for her Met Gala debut. She wore her signature blonde curls loose over the velvet textures of the gown and accessorized with opal and diamond jewelry from Tiffany & Co.’s Blue Book collection, including a pendant necklace, earrings, and rings.

The appearance served as a reminder of just how influential Nicks has been as a fashion icon throughout her career. From velvet capes and platform boots to lace gloves and top hats, her aesthetic helped define the visual identity of 1970s and 1980s rock culture and continues to inspire generations of musicians and designers alike.

Later in the evening, the night transformed from fashion event to unforgettable musical moment when Sabrina Carpenter joined Nicks for a surprise duet performance of Landslide in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Egyptian wing.

After Carpenter opened the evening with performances of “House Tour,” “Espresso,” and “Please Please Please,” Nicks took the stage as the event’s headlining performer. Together, the pair performed “Landslide” before Carpenter assisted Nicks on “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.” Nicks also delivered performances of Gypsy and Edge of Seventeen, bringing the evening to a dramatic and emotional close.

For an artist whose image has long existed at the intersection of rock and couture, Stevie Nicks’ Met Gala debut felt less like a first appearance — and more like the arrival of fashion royalty.
