Sergio,

I am aware of those dvds. They are not authorized/sanctioned by the band, it's management, or the record label. I assume that Brazil has loop holes for making things like this without permission. I know in Italy, it is legal to press and sell bootleg cds, as long as you "promise" to pay royalties to the copyright owners.

The other issue I have with these is that they were not remastered from the original source. They were mastered from a vhs copy of the concerts, so they look horrible (at least that is what I was told, I don't own either).

ESL is mastered from the laserdisc edition and includes a HUGE photo gallery.

SOH is mastered from the VHS.

BTW, where'd you get your copy of the Musicom DVD-A?

I lucked out and found it on the shelf *way* after the recall at my local best buy in Wichita Falls, TX. I have seen them online, but most people want a lot for them. It's a shame Capitol won't Let Eric and Richard Mullen redo the surround tracks. The stereo tracks sound great.

Kyle:

Thx for the reply. Looks like you got lucky in finding that at a store that probably failed to return it. That kind of serendipity usually only happens at smaller stores for me.

Erik et al.:

Interesting: If the packaging and language on the covers is any indication (and neither is reliable when it comes to bootlegs/pirated copies of albums/videos), I think the copy of ESL that you refer to is different than what Sergio is referring to in his post #30.

I started a thread to find out more about the Japanese ESL and Chronicles DVDs a while back. The titles I was inquiring about appear to no longer be available at CD Japan, but the image of one of them is still visible in the first post of my thread (please forgive my stealth linkage). The packaging (Jewel box) and labeling (in Japanese) appear to be different than what is/was up at DVDBrazil.com at the time of Sergio's post (that site is down as of this typing).

Erik:

Re your post #37: Interesting that, in Sweden, you apparently have been able to find this Brazilian "edition" or pressing from the Japanese ESL LD.

But my point in my post #36 was/is that the Nippon Columbia Japanese pressing I referred to and that was the subject of my other thread is different.

In other words, regardless of what you have, I find it interesting that there are at least two (bootlegged) versions of ESL apparently pressed/pirated in different countries from perhaps the same (Japanese) source that are (like "The Big Money") making their way around the world.
