Title: VCD's I picked up on my trip
Post by: wind chime on January 30, 2006, 03:08:41 AM
I picked up some official (not pirated) VCD's on my trip. VCD is still a popular format in the far east and much cheaper than DVD's.

From the Philippines:

The Beach Boys: Good Vibrations Tour- A copy of their 1976 15 Big Ones TV Special. Most of it is included in the American Band program. Very corny stuff but nice to have the original context of the clips...Chinese subtitles during the spoken parts and English subtitles for the music.

From Hong Kong:
Yes Live 1975 at QPR Vol 1 - Great Live Yes from the Relayer Tour. Available at Amazon on DVD but this only cost me $3 Canadian. (Couldn't locate Volume 2)
Genesis Songbook - Excellent 2001 overview of Genesis with recent interviews of all band members and some bonus footage of Phil, Tony & Mike doing some unplugged style versions of their classics. Chinese subtitles during interviews only. For those who have the 1990 "Genesis: a History" video, this is worth getting still for the updated history of Genesis including the Calling All Stations era and the interviews with Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson.
