Today I laid my hands on the "Live In Dallas" DVD (Label No. EMI 07243 4 81234 9 7, Made in EU) (e.g. available via www.blackstar.co.uk).

It is RC 2 and claims to be 1 hour, 28 mins and 50 secs long (as stated on the back cover) - whereas the VHS has a duration of 60 mins. The cover is identical to the VHS release.

As I don't have a DVD player yet, I can't give any information if there is really any additional material on it or not.

    One hour, twenty-eight minutes long? Morrissey doesn't do concerts that long, does he? Maybe they added to the ending credits the names of all the security guards who got trounced during "Everyday..".

      Does anyone know if "Live In Dallas" on DVD will be released in the United States?

        ...the black star site, it lists running time as 60 minutes.

        Since the 'live in dallas' video is a complete performance, i don't know what could possibly be added to make it 1 1/2 hours long. The 1991 shows were only 65-70min long at best

          Why the hell would they put that concert on dvd? It was shot with a freaking home video camera! I guess that was the best they could do in that farm they call a venue. What more could they have added...maybe boring stories about how two cousins skipped their wedding just to go to the concert. Well there you have it NECKS! The last time Moz will ever do a concert in Texas. Why do you think he's doing appearances here in LA and possibly NY? It's because WE actually have air conditioning in our record stores!

          The DVD is indeed incorrectly labelled to be 1 hour 28 minutes 50 secs. I hadn't noticed this until it was mentioned but it is the same thing as the video tape. It runs 59 minutes 40 seconds including credits.

            If the DVD is indeed wrongly labeled, then everybody should run out and get it before they or Morrissey correct it with another re-issued and re-packaged DVD. Hey, it'll be worth more than the first re-issue!

            Moz has in fact played Tx since the Kill Uncle Tour, three times actually, and once in Oklahoma.
