I assume you are looking for concept videos like they played on MTV (as opposed to concert videos). I bought a couple music video compiliations on DVD at DVD Empire. They seem to be mostly 80s videos, although some are from the 90s. Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran are on a couple of them. Do a search on DVD Empire for "Big Hits." Under the Customers Also Bought section, you'll find others in the series--I think there are about 10 total. Not the greatest quality in the world, but I found them acceptable.

P.S.--That Duran Duran DVD set sounds great

That Duran Duran DVD sounds incredible! MINE!!!!!

That Duran Duran DVD looks the biz. I can't wait to see them live in Glasgow next year.

I remember seeing some of those Big Hits DVD collections in Virgin Megastore. I'll check them out. Hopefully Huey, Billy Idol etc can release a video collection DVD soon. Man I love the 80's!

There's been rumors of a 25 date tour of the US starting in November. And if memory serves, there is a rumored world tour next year...IF the new album ever comes out.

I was wondering if the Meatloaf DVD has the MTV videos or if it is concert footage?

Malcolm R · 08-15-2003, 10:18 PM
