Hip on Global next week
#1

Wednesday I think Global is showing That night in Toronto on T.V. ANyone hear about it I saw it on a banner on the screen before Lost last night. I would assume it will be in HD. Sweet if it is true.

It is on the JAM! TV listings site for 10PM Wed Dec 7th. 1 Hour. Not sure about HD....

ETA: 10PM Eastern

Given that it's only an hour slot (presumably minus 15-20 mins for commercials), and the concert runs over 100 minutes on the DVD, it means they're showing roughly half the show...I wonder what's going to get cut?

That is strange...I still don't see the point of airing it all cut up, show it full on. I hate when tv does that! :x

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

I think it's pretty awesome, not only that it's being aired, but that it seems to be getting a lot of promotion. I saw a bunch of commercials for it, and if I wasn't already a fan, the commercials would have intrigued me. By only showing an hours' worth, it might inspire people who enjoy the show to go buy the DVD.

if i had to guess, i'd say a lot of the newer material will be on the chopping block

Just double-checked it...the DVD version actually runs a little more than 1hr and 56mins, meaning the TV version may only include 1/3 of the actual concert footage (8-10 songs). Assuming the opener (VS) and closer (Blow), are included, that only leaves 6-8 additional tracks...

Better than nothing, I suppose, but part of the charm of the DVD version (to me anyway) is it's flow, which will obviously suffer greatly due to all the cuts; it makes you wonder if they'll pick and choose songs and rearrange them from the original set list to make a better "fit"?...

Regardless, I agree it's perfect advertising for the DVD (and full box set) entering the Xmas season...never a bad thing... :thumb:

The tagline was "World Television Premier" and even though there are some of us that think the world doesn't extend outside of the GTA, I would imagine that Global throughout Canada would be carrying it at some point.
