wow. I will buy a copy of DVD,if You can make some..
I make no apologies for re-opening this topic - I looked for the original thread, but gave up!
The discussion was about the beginning of The Hounds of Winter, and there was much spirited debate about the singles v doubles
issue. I just got hold of a DVD( ain't ebay grand?) of Sting's Korean show from 1996, which contains some great stuff, and the only filmed intro of The Hounds of Winter that I've seen. When I eagerly popped the disk in the player to watch while feeding the inner man, my jaw dropped ( not a pretty sight when I'd just inserted half a pizza!!)when I realised that the opening song(HoW) featured several lengthy shots of Vinnie, and a great shot of the segue into 'Hung My Head'. This last shot is worth the price of the DVd alone.....it's the same roll as the intro - starts sooo quietly and builds to a crescendo, where Vinnie's sticks are nearly touching his shoulders on the upstrokes of an absolutely perfect double stroke roll!!!...there's such power and finesse, with the legendary mastery and control...and he seems to be really enjoying the whole experience. There's another part of the show, during 'You Still Touch Me' - you can see Vinnie partially over Sting's shoulder, and he's bouncing up and down, just grooving so hard.
Before anybody asks - yes, as soon as I get this house move out of the way, and get myself a shiny new pc with all the necessary
gizmos, I will share some of this stuff, and start to pay back this forum for the priceless stuff we've all had over the years.

John, I am very curious to know if they play "La Belle Damme Sans Regret" from that album. It's one of my fave Sting songs ever, and has some cool percussive work that I would love to hear Vinnie flaunt live.
How is the quality of this? Worth buying a bootleg DVD?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">When you gonna have new pc maybe rather then just share part of this DVD you can share full on DVD section of STG ? i thik when a DVD become just sell on ebay it's time for bootleg to stop the black market on ebay no ?Originally posted by JohnDrum:

Chris....I agree that this song is so cool, but I've yet to hear it turning up on any bootlegs, or live stuff...sorry!
I will share as much as I can, once I'm geared up for it.....watch this space
Hey John, like Donu said, someone in here [who knows how] will surely help you get this thing on Sharing The Groove! [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
If not, count me in on a little $ for it [or something else really nice in trade],
I've just gotten my PC back up to snuff [trojan/worm/spyware [img]mad.gif[/img] ]
Now i just need to get some stuff off to Uno, for starters, amongst other things [I haven't forgotten!] [img]redface.gif[/img] ...
Don't worry chaps.....once I'm in the mew domicile, a new PC/DVD/video duping setup is on the cards,and this board's wealth of willing knowledge will be the first place I'll turn to...then, I've got a fair amount of Vinnie footage to share- i was surprised at just how much I've managed to amass in a relatively short space of time
....make that newdomicile....don't like cats anyway....
LOL
Oh, man, I LUBS me da cats.
Like Elvin, Tony, Lenny, Billy, Vinnie, Weckl, Chambers, Husband, Kennedy, Omar, Gadd, Erskine, Vega, Porcaro...;c)
But AFA the "little critters" are concerned...don't hates 'em [if they're indoors], but don't nec treats em like a king either [if they're outdoors, strayers, sprayers, breeders]...I'm no hater, but I ain't on the "Stray Cats'-PETA mailing list," either. I've met a few family cats in my day that were pretty cool. I said a few.
Very few named Garfield, though. [Altho I thought it was an OK comic strip...but the manic-nuerotic cat-lover novelty thingie can only go so far...] ;c)
...I know it's a heart-breaking prob sometimes, but you crazy neighbors...PLEASE stop feeding those 13 strays on your front porch [soon to turn into 30!]!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
[...Or they could end up as a nice BD muffle - with dbl-pedal, of course...practicing that Virgil...] [j/k, of course] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But i digress, again.

....Garfield's ok...anyone who's played with Vinnie has to be? ( not sure about the ponytail/ loud shirt thing though?)
