Live In London DVD release

Yeah, I don't know about this. Maybe the band needs to have a long and hard think if they think only 10 of the songs were worth releasing. What does that say about them currently as a live band?

And this is coming from someone who has seen them eight times, many of which are my favorite concerts I've ever been to. It's just a little ridiculous to release a DVD with 10 songs on it.

if they wanted to put out a larger DVD next year they could have done a double with this as well like the Foo's did with Hyde Park and Skin & Bones acoustic.

Any idea why I can't find this on Amazon? I'm buying it but guessing Amazon will have the cheapest price.

that's strange, because a few ago I was able to find it....

I don't see it...

We now know that this is video from the gigs after which they seriously thought of chucking it all in.  Does it show?

What do you mean chucking it all in?

Well, that might explain why they didn't think much of it was worth releasing.

I don't care how many songs are on it, I thought that Brian once mentioned in an interview that there will be a small DVD and than another one with the new album....

I hope there will be another one. I'm happy to soon have a Gaslight DVD but I really hope to have a bigger one too.

Yeah me too, and I hope they will release their next studio album very soon

is the DVD available for every region?

I think I read somewhere, maybe Amazon, that it's region free, so it'll play on every player.

Mine was shipped by Amazon today.

found it in a record shop the other day and picked it up. it's definitely awesome, watched it a few times now. my only complaint is its just so short. on the bands FB page, they said "with HD behind the scenes footage", and there's none, except for maybe a minute in the beginning during the intro, but thats it. i like the kinda raw quality of it, and the sound is pretty good, i just wish there was more to it.

alright thanks

Today I went to the local store and they said it will be released on the 3rd of January... It would have been better, if I had ordered it -.-

I ordered from Infinite Merch and received my copy (or rather my three copies because I got two more for friends as Christmas gifts  ) on Thursday. Just watched it, loved it and now I can't wait to see them again. I neeeeeeeeeeeeed a Gaslight show sooooooooon.

Received mine today, can't wait to watch it tonight!

I enjoyed it, but it really did feel like a bonus to something else as opposed to something released alone. 40 minutes?

I watched it yesterday and felt the same.

how is the recording / film quality? is it comparable to other live concert DVDs?

.

Yeah, it did feel like a bonus to a bigger DVD. And as far as the filming...eh. Not great. Kind of annoying how it's edited, since it's constantly cutting to another shot. But that's how all concert DVDs are nowadays, so it's nothing new.

Finally watched it. I agree the editing is a bit annoying but it's also kinda fun too. I got used to it for this 40 minute thing because it just feels like a super long music video, but on a longer DVD it would drive me nuts. My eyes didn't have time to focus on an image before it cut again. I don't know, maybe they were trying to up the flashy-ness of it because it was so short and they didn't seem too pleased with the material they had to work with. They did do a good job with the transitions given that this was a handful of clips over 2 full shows.

I was also scratching my head at some of the framing they had for certain shots. I mean, Brian has a lovely face, but there were a lot of unnecessary extreme close ups of like half of his face, and then someones guitar from like the bridge down (ie. the least interesting shot you could get of the guitar). Part of the problem there may have just been related to how they chose to edit. Either way, I hope the next one is edited like a normal show.

@DeathofTheCool the image quality was good if that's what you mean, but as I started to hint at, the editing was a bit on the cheesy side. Picture the "45" music video for 40 minutes, including the occasional slo-mo and the fast cuts, with all the behind the scenes stuff moved to the very beginning.
