Happy Wizard: one complete show (or even a compilation of both nights) on DVD/blu-ray
Very happy Wizard: above plus the two songs from the March show
Ecstatic Wizard: above plus complete March show on CD
Wizard losing his shit: above plus additional March songs on video
Seconded. Though I replace Wizard with Rick, if you don't mind.
;)
I hope they have some nice surprises in store for us. Was actually surprised with that documentary included in the Budapest release. Some new footage I hadn't seen before.
I would be happy with a merge of the two nights, as long as they do it in such a way that it presents a full show and setlist assembled from the footage from the two nights, not crappily cut down and full of awkward 'medley's and butchering of songs. Both nights would be even better. The March footage as bonus material would be amazing, but I'm not letting my expectations run wild.
Nice thoughts coming out from everybody, but they are just thoughts after all. This topic has done as well as I had expected that.
So, some of your thoughts (rather predictions) might be materialising some time soon this year. All we can do now is just wait and see. But this doesn't mean we should entirely stop the discussion... :-)
Go on! Maybe someone will come up with another bunch of rather interesting thoughts.
Ideally, I'd like to see a couple of different options for purchase:
1. A DVD compilation of both November shows. March footage as a bonus.
2. A 2 DVD/2 CD set featuring both uncut November shows, March footage as a bonus, and the complete March audio on the CDs.
3. A Blu-Ray/2 CD set featuring both uncut November shows, the March footage as a bonus, and the complete March audio on the CDs.
I'd like a Blu-Ray release for 2 reasons; firstly because a DVD release will most likely be in crappy NTSC format (ARGH!), meaning that the dimension of the picture will be reduced (try comparing the recent Wembley release with the 2003 PAL DVD to see what I mean), and may also lose the interlaced look that is synonymous with videotape (due to the different frame rates of PAL & NTSC material).
Secondly, I think I am right in saying that the March footage exists and was shot on film. This means it has the potential for full HD.
One last thing, they should be in the original (4:3) aspect ratio! :D
Alright, I can't believe you actually wrote this post one year before the official announcement. How could you know?
Well, that's debatable...we are not getting two but four songs (ok, three-and-a-half) from the March-show on video, so that counts as "additional", doesn't it?
Happy: complete show/compilation on DVD/Blu-ray --- check
Very happy: two songs from the March show --- check
Ecstatic: complete March show on CD --- check
Losing his shit: additional March songs on video --- check, even if only two/one-and-a-half more.

as above, but one additional clause:
restored a little faith in QPL - if i see anything i've not seen before either

We're getting two songs, both of which we've already seen (although in varying quality).
