Sorry I'm not around as much anymore! I miss you all and this place! So in that vein, I'm not sure if this has been discussed lately. But did everyone see this new GD DVD box set?

Does anyone know if the bonus disc has entire shows, or just random songs?

Considering I already have all the DVDs in the box (accept So Far and the Bonus)...It's too bad that's the only way we can get the bonus disc and So Far is to buy something we already own 95% of.

If anyone buys this and can rip those 2 discs for me I will be indebted to them forever!!

I already have So Far and Backstage Pass on VHS. I purchased those two videos back in the early '90s. Both videos are still in excellent condition. Yep, I still have a VCR player.

I own all the other GD DVDs, except for Dead Ahead.

I'll save $100 and pass on the Box Set.

Anyone know if So Far has any unreleased material? For example, the original has Lady with a Fan, but then it fades out before it goes into Terrapin. I always thought that if they re-released this, they would give us a bonus of the whole version of Terrapin.

I've seen at least half of these. They have video of most their shows. I don't know why they don't release more. It would take no time to sync them with the SBDs. DVDs are a money maker and Phil likes money. Seems like a no brainer.

I think that's not even within driving distance of being true.

For some of the summer tours, they shot the band in the stadiums in order to put them on the big screen but that was the stadium filming--not THEM; and I don't think it was recorded (how great would it be if it was?).

You knew it when THEY were filming when they had many cameras on stage like with some of the '89 summer tour stops to name one example.
