Duran Duran live at Wembley DVD?

Does anyone have an update on this release?

The reunited Duran Duran performed five sold out nights at Wembley Arena in the UK last year, and the last 2 shows were filmed for DVD and CD release. These shows were fantastic (this band has never been better), but the announcement for a release date keeps getting changed.

All I know is that Coming Home Studios is doing the release, and I trust they are reliable...they have done the Dave Matthews Band Central Park DVD.

HELP!

I will buy this whenever it's released.

It will make a good companion piece to the Spandau Ballet: Live at the NEC DVD.

Some UK website had this up for pre-order for June, but that's the only online retailer so far that I know of. No official release date on the band's official site, so I'm guessing the June date is no good.

From the Remix website:

Quote:

To celebrate their tremendous success in the live arena, in spring ‘05, a live DVD/CD package will be released that was shot at the band’s final London Wembley Arena concert in May 2004. The show, which broke the house record for attendance, was one of 17 sold out arena shows in the UK. Accompanied by a live CD from the same show, the DVD will include Duran Duran’s classic hits plus material from Astronaut, interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. The DVD/CD was produced by Coming Home Studios and will be distributed in the U.S. through Rounder/Zoe.

I couldn't find anything more specific than "spring." Didn't have time to go through the forums on the official website, though.

I just got the DVD-only version of the Duran Duran concerts at Wembley Arena for $15.00 from Tower Records. I have only scanned the DVD from song to song and I am very impressed....the band sounded great and the extra features are generous. All the hits are here and these guys are seriously underrated. No Power Station or Acadia songs (although Acadia was mentioned as one of the final choices of names for the band initially). Highly recommended!

Not to burst anyones bubble but I purchased the DVD + CD version of the Duran Duran concert at HMV and the DVD pixelated and froze on rewind in the Wild Boys. I replaced the title in-store and the replacement had the same problem in the same area.

I then returned the title for refund and tried purchasing in another store and unfortunately the DVD still had the same problem in the same area. Two more tries later and still can't get a working DVD of this.

I finally contacted Rounder Records and sent them my DVD (kept the CD + packaging) but haven't seen a return yet.

I'm worried the delay may be because this pressing has had problems all though the line and they're trying to now find one that works to send me.
