So... let me gloat again... we were in the front row for NYE last night. Good stuff!
Anyways... while we're up there enjoying the show, the security guard leans over the railing, and asks my girlfriend if she's shy.... (insert Johnny joke here)... she asks "why", and he says - you just got filmed for the DVD...
We noticed that there were a number of cameras up front in the pit for the entire show - not just the first three songs. Including one camera that seemed to be focussed on Bobby the whole time... we weren't watching the big screens the whole time, but some of the cameras were never used on the big screen.
Looked like to me like the Hip were wearing clothes very similar to what they wore at the TO show last month... me thinks that they may have been getting some filler shots of the band & the crowd for the DVD....

could be...
... buuuuut, it could also be that the cameras were just being used for the big screens (i assume they need a bunch of different shots and angles... even though only one can be used at a time). it's very possible they we trying to get extra footage for the dvd but i wouldn't expect a security guard at the venue to know too much about it if they were... just my take, but hey, it'd be pretty damn cool to be front and centre for crowd shots for the dvd.

Hi folks. I am reviving this thread for I feared retribution from the Search Police if I began a new one. I do not wish to excite you as I have no news on the DVD release. However, this topic has been dead for quite some time. Are there any rumours as to if this thing is going to happen or when it will be released?

I was thinking the same thing. Before the Toronto show at which the dvd was shot, Robby and Gord S. said the dvd, if they decide to keep it, would be released "next spring". Well, it's January 05, another couple of months and it will be spring. Have to be optimistic about that here in the Great White North. Three months and spring is here, so should we be expecting news about it??

my advice re whether or not there will be a dvd in the springtime: wait till you see it poking through with them shoots of beauty.
my observation on the date that spring begins: when a heartbeat's pouding.
my guess as to where they will debut this Springtime dvd: in Vienna.
just trying to be (completely un)helpful,

I'm just trying to do the grunt work somewhere between dreams and duty.

This is the closest thing to a hip dvd thread, anyways Im curious as to what extras folks would like to see on the ACC DVD that is in the works...
Hawksley workmans dvd right now is pretty much the best concert dvd ive seen in a while, plus it has all his music videos and it is only like 12 bucks...
I would like to see the hip throw some old videos on there and maybe a documentary.

I'd like to see some sort of a compilation DVD. The early to mid 90s Hip has to be accounted for somehow, maybe a whole gig if they have any taped. And then there needs to be 'latter day Hip' represented as well, perhaps a whole recent gig. I dunno..maybe a double DVD set of 2 complete gigs, one from the FC tour or something, or DFN tour and one from the latest records.
Actuall a 3 DVD set would be cool..a Road Apples tour show in its entirely, and DFN show and a latter day show...or sumthin' like that..I dunno. 'Misty Moon' is the best rock show I've ever seen, live or on TV, by anybody. I'd love to see that come out on DVD.

Hi Daredevil here, this is my first post and I was at the Toronto Show and noticed too that there were a lot of cameras in the front row. The entire show had this professional feeling around it compared to other Hip shows. I hope this dvd rumour is true...

To be fair, I went to the concert and didn't see the posters there, though I already knew of the DVD plans. Now whether that makes me a douchebag unaware of his surroundings or a fair sample of the general audience remains to be seen.
But let's not go criticizing people for not being as 'in the loop' as most of us who frequent this site (another testament to Hipbase) are.
