Re: Film upgrades

I would say that the tools available today are far superior to those during the dvd days. It's not even that expensive. Look at the stuff Peter Jackson and crew did with the old WW1 footage and that was released in 2018. So much has happened since and add the introduction of ai to that. I'm sure mu...

Re: Film upgrades

If it’s one or two thousand then it’s a complete non-starter based on the time, effort and costs, unless you are going to charge a fortune for it. Exactly. Just look at how many copies physical albums sell nowadays! Any archive release would be a fraction of that. And when they DO charge a fortune ...

Re: Film upgrades

Are one or two hundred thousand folk really going to invest in a dvd of a group from over fifty years ago I think that number is wildly optimistic. One or two thousand may be closer to the mark (apologies if I misunderstand what you wrote). There is no way there are "one or two hundred thousand fol...

Re: Film upgrades

Ok, I thought it was given to the children. Doesn't change anything because they (Alice and Shep) are not lovers of the archives. Just because they physically have something doesn't mean they can legally release it. They likely don't own GTSYA,AC so even if they still have the original reels, they ...

As the children of Alice have gotten the Brian archive I think there are zero chances this ever will happen.
This is not correct. Alice/Shep have Brian's archive.

Re: Film upgrades

Film actually has a much higher resolution than HD, but it all depends on how it was shot. The footage for "Good to See You Again" was pretty murky to begin with due to the low lighting conditions, and you have to factor in if the original camera negatives even exist somewhere. "Welcome to my Night...

Re: Film upgrades

If you haven't seen the recent Queen Rock Montreal movie, you owe it to yourself to experience it. It's wild how good it looks and sounds, even after all these years. Makes me wonder... Which AC film would you like to see the same process used? My vote goes to the 1973 concert(s) they filmed and us...

Rufus has a Christmas sale with 25% discount. I just bought the cheapest version.
Bit of a kick in the teeth for those who paid full price two years ago(?) when many are still waiting for theirs to arrive?

Re: Original band tour

I have just seen an announcement of a tour of Alice and the original group touring North America, starting in Detroit with European dates set for March. This seems to be legitimate. I was too excited to get the link. If this is true then it would suggest that the album with the OGs is legitimate an...

Re: Good AC cover songs.

Proof that we are being observed: I just got this album recommended on Spo***y. Never heard of it before. Is it European? Anyway, the song they recommended (two days after I whined about it here) was “Halo of Flies” with Dennis Dunaway and Dimma. Great all the way through, especially when he scream...

This doesn't rule out HV shows next year. Was it ever stated they would br European shows? It just confirms there will be European Alice Cooper shows next year - over which there was some doubt after he was here twice this year. Yes, it was stated that there would be European shows.

My copies arrived earlier today via a courier, and with no customs declaration at all. I thought that was illegal but not complaining!

What’s the deal with the UK here? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. We don’t have big numbers but we certainly have commitment. I’d have thought there would be more or less a guarantee of reasonable numbers here.. Not just UK. Not available in EUROPE as a whole as far as I know, only by importing ...

Re: Final Hammersmith 2024 filmed

Hammersmith SHOULD be a great gig, but if the crowd were as bad as they were on the first night (that i attended) I doubt the atmosphere will be any good. Wasn't much different. Blame is on it being seated and VIPs down the front. There's nothing at all wrong with the venue at all. I've watched rec...
