Stevie Nicks Blu Ray

Another twist in the saga of Stevie's "Live" Soundstage DVD

It hasn't technically been released commercially except through PBS - but Sears is now apparently selling Blu-Ray editions of the discs for $24.99. The discs began showing up on eBay over the week much to the surprise of everyone and many at first doubted it's authenticity, but it's been confirmed that yes, it's now available in the Blu-Ray format, but only at Sears (of all places). The cover and track listing are the exact same as what PBS was initially selling after the airing of the show in July, 2008 and there's no booklet inside.... It's been confirmed through various purchases that it is in fact - a Blu-Ray edition - so if you can't wait for the commercial release in March (I'm assuming it will now also be released in the Blu-Ray format in March along with the standard DVD format) then head on over to your local sears, or order it on-line.

TRACK LISTING:

STAND BACK 5:10
ENCHANTED 3:09
IF ANYONE FALLS 4:11
RHIANNON 8:05
CRASH INTO ME 5:37
SORCERER 5:07

LANDSLIDE 4:12

Also... Sears has a "Best Of Soundstage" Blu-Ray disc that features one track from Stevie's show - "Gold Dust Woman" and also Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". Incidentally, I don't recall Fleetwood Mac's Soundstage DVD being released in the Blu-Ray format... so this one track is a first - $24.99.

A compilation of outstanding live performances by todays premiere artists presented in pristine high definition.

Soundstage Sessions - Stevie Nicks

After months of release dates bouncing around from July all the way to December 31st, it seems that FINALLY Stevie's PBS Soundstage DVD and CD are going to be officially released on October 28th.

The track list for the DVD which is called "Live in Chicago" is similar to the version that PBS released, and is still selling, except this one includes "Dreams". It also includes as a bonus track - "Landslide" with an orchestra. Beauty & The Beast is the only song filmed that night that isn't included with the DVD. It's possible that there were some rights issues that prevent Beauty & The Beast from being on the DVD. Behind Stevie on the screens while she's performing - film footage from the film Beauty & The Beast is being shown. If you saw her in concert in 2007 the same footage played during the closing number of her shows.

The CD versions called "The Soundstage Sessions" and includes Beauty & The Beast which doesn't appear on the DVD - a nice marketing tool!

The cover for the DVD is slightly different then what PBS was selling, same image, just different colour. The CD is the same image without any background enhancements.

The CD and DVD track listing were provided by iamnotafraid from The Ledge. Please note that they haven't been confirmed and are not yet on Amazon .
