Seriously on the "new stuff" topic, any chance it might include the "Rhythm Thief" and "My Baby's Taking Me Home" video clips? Did the Euro release even include "Rhythm Thief?"

I'm sorry, just a little joke : ) Didn't mean to confuse our foreign friends. I could have generated a few extra sales though eh?

I'm sure the efficent Mr Demotime would have mentioned it, if their were any variation or new tracks on the American release.

Hands down the most welcome news since the New York Central Park show was announced so long ago. Now my trailer-trash American bandmates can finally witness what I was incessantly ranting about. As experience in the Sparks camp has always shown, patience pays. Now, if there was only a glimmer of hope for the long-rumored video collection remastered on DVD I might think somebody up there really likes me.

I think I heard that their are plans for a Australian version of it.
Rumours are theres gonna be a couple of remixes on it with Rolf harris doing some backing vocals.
The covers gonna have a little koala bear character on it.

Does OZ have yet another format?? other than PAL or NTSC?? or is it just a "region" issue?? That can be overcome... Otherwise, why don't we all just go back to good ol' 8mm Cine Film... Projectors & Screens can be found extremely cheaply on eBay.. (:)

I got mine last week.
The performance of Lil' Beethoven is brilliant. I'm not sure how much was live and how much was Pro Tools or whatever, but it was a very effective show regardless.

I did think that the sound of the "bonus material" left something to be desired, though. A live bass player or just a more kicking sequenced part would have helped a lot. The bass stuff during the Li'l B set was spot on.

I loved the DVD and the live show!

Did you get to see them in San Francisco Aprill 2004? That was the closest location to you, I think. The Lil' B show was great!

If you didn't make the show you missed a wonderful evening. Ron and Russell even entered the venue through the front door, walked pass the crowd, smiled, waved and really looked appreciative as cheering started - of course we gave them their space to go to their dressing rooms.

Anyway, I would like to hear a bass with them again too, but I am a fan of the "ol' ways". Don't take me wrong - I adore the new material too. Obviously, I flew in from Atlanta to catch the show out west and it was worth it!
