Hey everone.
Was thinking of ordering the 1998 Modern Drummer Festival DVD. Now I'm stuck between choosing from Saturday's and Sunday's DVD. Basically, my main reason for ordering is that I want some Jojo Mayer footage to add to my collection. Which day features outtakes from his clinic? i.e. The ones shown on Drummerworld.com
Basically, I need to know which one has the most footage of him. I'm hoping it's Sunday because that includes the Dave Weckl Band. Would be great to hear from anyone that owns the DVD.
EDIT: Just found this quote from a review: "Jo Jo Mayer from Screaming Headless Torsos performs a solo "tour de force" and plays in a trio setting. " Does this mean Saturday has the clinic part?

Wait, its avaliable on DVD now?! Where are you ordering from?
-
I am ordering from the Modern Drummer website, but its not specified if its DVD or VHS. I am assuming its VHS in that case...good thing I didn't order yet.
-
Yeah that footage is all on tape right now. i really wish that all the old tapes were released on dvd...let me tell you something interesting though...Expect a release of the scholarship concert tape on dvd..all the tapes into 1 dvd package..i cant wait!
-
Yeah the MD 98 AND 97 Festivals onto DVD would be cool. So would the Zildjian day tapes. Anybody know if there are any plans to put these on DVD?
-
Yeah those are only on VHS right now - but take my advice:
ORDER THE VIDEO WITH JO JO MAYER!!!!!!!!
I have it... it is the most amazing performance you will ever see... his finally is RIDICULOUS (in a "what the hell?!?" kind of good way)!

Thanks for the input Warunki. Good to have that cleared up...Or not, I really wanted that on DVD.
Like you said, from what I hear Jojo's part is one of the most amazing performances on a drumset ever recorded. So which day of the series would you recommend?
-
Well, to be honest I don't have the video (ANYMORE):
I sold a Modern Drummer Virgil Donati VHS on ebay with the tape of the Jo-Jo drum fest inside the Virgil case... a year passed even though I wanted the guy to send it back to me for the Virg tape... and I bet the reason why he never sent it back was because of JO-JO!!!! Heheheh. True story. Wish I still had it.
Yeah there were two days, the one with Mayer also has Weckl from what I remember, GET MAYER!

I hope someone can tell me which one has more Jojo footage on it. The one with the clinic outtakes is what I need.
