Great Laserdisc (physical media) concerts that never made it to DVD

It may be The High Road but I don't think it was released in the US

 

It was released on DVD fairly recently.

 

I'm sure it's like you say, but my resources are finite, so, whenever I can, I have to go for the cheap way out, as long as it's an acceptable one.

I don't really differentiate on a Country basis, I get them wherever I can. You might say the world is my oyster, in that regard

 

Emmylou Harris And The Nash Ramblers At The Ryman
The original concert - produced for and broadcast on The Nashville Network (R.I.P.)

 

The Dio era Black Sabbath/Blue Oyster Cult live program "Black and Blue" never made it past Japanese Laserdisc.

Although I saw what may have been a gray area release of the 1982 Ozzy Osbourne "Speak Of The Devil" Irvine Meadows concert with Brad Gillis on guitar, I really don't think it has ever been officially released past Japan-only VHS and Laserdisc. Same with the 1984 Ozzy concert "Bark At The Moon."

Others include:

Ministry "In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up (Live)"
Motorhead "The Birthday Party"
Big Country "Live"
Gary Moore "Emerald Isles Live In Ireland"
Gary Moore "An Evening With The Blues"
Gary Moore "Live Blues"
Gary Moore "Ballads And Blues"
Les Paul "Les Paul And Friends"
Yngwie Malmsteen "Live In Tokyo
Yngwie Malmsteen "Live At Bukokan"
Yngwie Malmsteen "Trial By Fire"
Yngwie Malmsteen "The Collection"
Alcatrazz "Metallic Live '84"
Girlschool "Play Dirty Live"
Starz "Hear N' Aid"
Saxon "Live Innocence"
Accept "Staying A Life"
Allan Holdsworth "In Japan, Tokyo Dream"
Super Rock '84 "In Japan"
The Ronnie Lane Arms Concert
Vandenberg "Live"

 

Man... I was SO sure I had this on DVD, I had to go and check it out. Well, you're right. I have 10 Big Country gigs on DVD, plus the beautiful DVD from the BBC boxset, but this one's not one of them.
I had it on VHS, it was actually my first Big Country video ever. Why hasn't it been released? This one's bugging me, I guess I'll get it on LD and have it ripped too

 

A few others I have that may not be out on DVD...

Suzanne Vega - Live At The Royal Albert Hall
Carly Simon - Live At Grand Central
The Knack - Live At Carnegie Hall

 

@JAuz I've looked up that "No Nukes" disc, it looks incredible, thanks.

 

Tears For Fears Going To California. Beatles Live At BBC. Joe Jackson Big World Live.

 

Prince's "Lovesexy" 1988 show was available on LD outside of the US.

Never owned one - wish I had!

 

The Charlatans - Some Friendly
I believe the VHS version was included on the Just Looking DVD compilation which was missing a few songs included on the laser disc.

 

This one's been released on DVD: "Scenes from the big chair", there's a documentary together with the "Going to California" concert.

 

Big World Sessions is one of my favorites...Pretty cool how they recorded the album.

 

Not a concert, but was The Whole Story video collection ever released on DVD?

 

Nope.

 

I have this on LD and it is...and it isn't. It's a great show with some stellar performances and nice camerawork. On the LD and VHS it was cropped to 4:3 though. If it ever gets released on DVD or Blu-ray we should see it the way it was composed to be.

 

there's a semi-official dvd version, and I'm pretty sure it's also on one of the kissology's..???

 

Yes it was. On VHS, Betamax, LaserDisc and DVD.

 

Unless it was shot on film, it was probably shot in 4 by 3 aspect ratio. Did I ever show in the theater?

 

Still waiting for Nico's 'Velvet Memories' to come out on DVD. The audio from the show made it to CD, but that's all so far.


And Lou Reed's 'Live In Jersey' Some tasty Robert Quine work on that one.

 

Fleetwood Mac - Mirage Tour '82
Grand Funk - Live 1974

 

The Cars live 1984 Japanese LD will cost you about $200.

Benatar Live made it to DVD but lost a song or two.

 

Ooops.

Wasn't sure about one of the concerts in the Original Post, but it looks like it was "unauthorized" after a bit more research.

Carry on....

 

Van Morrison Beacon 1990
Christine McVie 1984
John Lennon live NY



Roxy Music got a US DVD release.



David Gilmour live 1984 was VHS. He never played those solo songs after the mid 80's.
