Well, on this thread there's only 1 person that would clearly LOVE to see this on DVD, and I think we all know who that is.

There's 1 person that said it should be on DVD.

There's 1 person that queried why it wasn't on the Live Aid DVD.

And there's 1 person that said, jokingly, that they'd pay to see Fred chase Bob Geldof around a stage.

And that's it.

How does that equate to being "a lot of people [that] would LOVE to see the official release of Fashion Aid on DVD"?

.........DUH!!!!......SEE THESE!!!!........

Ok here's the short video from the show (about 2 minutes long). Unfortunately it's black and white and the quality is quite low... :-( But at least you can see Freddie and Jane.

Why wasn't this fashion show featured on the Live Aid DVD?

Next one may be kidding but all the same...

My god...

Thanks for just pointing out to me the exact 3 posts (apart from yours) I was referring to me when I made my comments above.

I'm intrigued to know what your intention in doing that was.

Yeah like you don't know why I posted those people's posts.

Oh and another thing...Mr. Sarcasm...Nobody officially ever asked for the release of Live Aid on DVD either...they just pirated it and bootlegged it..and Geldof caught the pirates last Spring and was so infuriated...not so much that it was pirated...but that ALL proceeds, royalties from Live Aid...are NOT to go to the music artists, or ANYONE else (including the bootleggers who were making a mint), ever....

The money goes to charity for African Famine Relief. Geldof blew his top BIG TIME, called the police in the UK and they raided one bootleggers house and confiscated all the computers' hardrives and boots, and Geldof said the bootleggers were literally taking food out of the mouths of starving people in Africa. I read all the press when the S**t hit the fan this time last year.

That is the REASON Geldof FINALLY released Live Aid last November, and the ONLY REASON.

You can bet people aren't "asking for Fashion Aid" so much as hijacking it illegally. How else was there material for ME to watch, huh! So that gave me the idea and to do the RIGHT thing.

So why not just do the right win/win situation again with Fashion Aid, like with Live Aid. We get an authorized DVD with outakes and such in GREAT quality...Starving people get food to live...and that makes me, and I'm sure it would make Geldof happy.

I agree with Arlene. And I also think you have an attitude problem. Arn't you a male? I didn't know men get PMS.

Thank you Frog! And I will let you know if Geldof's manager gets back to me. When Geldof BUSTED that bootleggers ring last Spring and he confiscated all the computer stuff and boots and went balistic that the pirates were profiting off of a charity event and relief fund...that's when....

....I first contacted Geldof's manager and then too, put my 2 cents worth in that Live Aid should be released on DVD...I already KNEW Geldof was auctioning the licensing rights to Warner Vision for its release, but I wanted him (via his manager) to know that someone out there (me) agreed with his decision.... Anyways... :)

I honestly do not know why you pointed out those 3 posts to me, unless you have some bizarre desire to make yourself look foolish and ignorant of other people's posts.

In case you didn't notice, those posts were the very same posts I was referring to, and they thoroughly validate my point that there are, at absolute best, only 4 people on this board that we know of who would like to see Fashion Aid released on DVD.

I was merely pointing out the extreme hyperbole in your post that mentioned a LOT of people would LOVE to see this show released on DVD.

If it was ever released (and honestly, how much call for it is there? Have any of us ever heard of this event in a way unconnected to Freddie?) and it raised money for charity then that's fine. But I for one won't be buying it.

I'm off to attend to my sanitary towel...

Apparently you ENJOY NOT thoroughly reading or intentionally showing your ignorance by ignoring the information I posted to substantiate this...one more time Mr. Rude.

I give up.

I can't imagine there is a great demand for Fashion Aid on DVD... As much as I love Freddie, I know I wouldn't buy it for just a snippet of him and Jane Seymore walkin' down the catwalk...but whatever floats yer boat.

Wow arlene, I don't many people would LOVE to see Fashion Aid on DVD.

To be quit honest indead. Who would buy a fashion show on DVD? I mean if they wanted to seel it, it would have been a better option to put it in the LIVE AID box together with the LIVE AID report and some rehearsals.

HELLO!!!! This was IN FACT recorded and was released on video.

See Link This below

http://live-aid-dvd.com/gallery8a.htm

"The whole event was captured by Kevin Godley (of Godley & Creme - made the "Two Tribes" video). TV rights for the event were sold in hope of raising additional money for famine relief. The show was a resounding success that also included the 18 designers creating special "Fashion Aid" T-shirts. The shirts were sold as part of the fund raising event and the designs can be seen as part of the Fashion Aid video, originally sold on PAL VHS TAPE."

So Fasions Aid's Organizers DID think enough of it to tape it and sell it on video tape. It just is not YET available on DVD!!!!

Aye Caramba!

When you contact Bob Geldof's manager next time, arlene, you might tell him that you downloaded an illegal copy of his charity VHS tape from the internet - speaking of pirates and people "literally taking the food out of starving childrens' mouths"..
