[DAVIE]

I'm sure some collector has it....no doubt.

No, the people I think you are referring to only collect things that they can spend money on, and then lord over other people's heads as evidence of their prowess as "Collectors."

Something like this would be defined as a bootleg, as any copying/distribution of it would be unofficially sanctioned, and -as an unofficially released documented performance- it would be relatively cheap and easy for one to record and then distribute to others for free, peer-to-peer, or through torrents or file sharing sites.

Somewhat bizarrely, this kind of content is seen as important only in terms of content and intrinsic artistic value, and -as such- is relatively useless to The Collectors.

You see, The Collectors have little interest in things like this, as any common pleb can obtain it, so it therefore holds little or no aristocratic value.

That's a very narrow view of collectors. Some collect official items, others collect bootlegs, others collect all.

I personally would love to get my hands on this. Unfortunately, just because I am Canadian and the show was broadcast in Canada does not necessarily mean that I have it. I actually do not know anybody who has it. Hopefully it will be rebroadcast one day to a wider audience.

This guy actually broadcast it on his own local station up there, and has promised to send me a copy, but I'm not holding my breath. He seems kind of shady.

With all due deference to Stephane, whom I respect a great deal, I believe your take on collectors is accurate. The definition has evolved over the years. There was a time, ten, fifteen years ago when I was a collector. This was pre-web. But I collected because I loved the bands and wanted everything they had ever done.

When you write about these nouveau collectors "lording over" and wanting items with "aristocratic" value - sadly I've found this to be true. Perhaps, it is the value of the items which has ushered in this new attitude? It's almost like this collectible items are investment vechiles! The most I ever paid for a collectible CD was $150. Again, this was pre-web, but I'd like to believe I would have never been so crass as to flaunt what I had over the heads of those who did not. I probably would have wanted to re-coup what I paid for an item, but after doing so I have no problem sharing the item with fellow fans - gratis.

For anyone on the fence, just go back and revisit the whole "Hollywood Bowl" drama. In retrospect, it seems like a quarter of the membership of this website had a copy and wouldn't leak it. They felt intimidated by other collectors.

Some of the very best moments on this site have been when Mr. Reynolds and others offered to empty their vaults if everyone else did the same. I uploaded every bootlegged concert I had, and while not nearly as impressive as Mr. Reynolds November the 2nd, it was so cool to see so much material being made available for everyone to enjoy.

Back to the matter at hand, I'm surprised it didn't get uploaded to smithstorrent.co.uk? If this was indeed a Canadian only affair, I had hoped this would be their just revenge for the concert boycott!

Sorry if this is old news, but it looks like the show name is "Studio in Sessions.". We're looking for S01E01. I tried a couple different Google searches, but the show's name often mucks up the results.

I met Boz at an after show party the night of the the first Vicar St show last year,I'd mentioned that Tony Visconti had put a pic of himself and Boz on Facebook earlier that day and Boz said they had recorded it earlier that day in Temple Lane Studios Temple Bar and it would be shown at a later date on MTV.

I found something here, but it doesn't play. Maybe you hvae to be in Canada to see it? And it seems that a registration witht this site is requiered.

That is a Canadian cable provider. Not only do you have to register for their site and be Canadian to view it, you also have to be currently paying for their Cable/On Demand service.

Surely, there must be one Canadian Morrissey fan who uses this site regularly who gets cable service through Rogers?!

If you fit this criteria, let us know and we'll tell you how to rip the video.

I really don't understand the enthusiasm to see this footage. We already know what it'll look like and sound like. There's probably scores of videos of live footage and tv performances providing ample opportunity to see and hear them play all the songs that they always play. Interesting the first few times around, yeah, but not so much anymore.

For one thing, because this is a true studio recording. As in (from the promo photo) Mozza singing alone in a booth wearing headphones. We've all seen him sing in front of an audience and there is some video of him in studio, but a professionally shot production of him singing these new songs is definitely worth the trouble to track down and download.

C'mon, we've heard the new songs and they're all crap - lyrically and musically. No amount of studio polishing could improve them.

I love Scandinavia though.

Speak for yourself.

It'll also be a chance to hear those new songs in studio quality.

They all went out for the night to hit the clubs, but those baby seals are so damned fast.

[stephsteph]

[Oso Blanco]

Any luck yet?

Well, here is a picture from those sessions, at least.

I've just been on some Emirates flights betwwen UK - Dubai and Hong Kong and they are available on those flights.

Sessions are pretty good, really enjoyed it. Foster the People and Alice Gold also sound great.
