Any news on MSG DVD??

[valvano]

anything anybody??

[Freedom Toast]

"they're working on it" :rolleyes:

It's a live DVD....what is there to work on?

[YoungRemy]

lots of shots to sift through, gathering the best shots from the pro cameras while editing in the fan coverage....

sound editing....its gonna be ready by summer I am guessing....

"take the opportunity to exercise patience"

Yeah...but it doesn't even take this long to edit a motion picture. This is a one take performance shot with multiple angles. There isn't much to work with.

[Documad]

My friend asks about this all the time. She's not a Beastie Boys fan, but she flew to NYC with me for the show and she had the best time ever. I had explained to her about all the cameras fans had in the audience and she wants to know what they came up with.

I want to see it because this was the one time I made the mistake of drinking too much before a Beastie Boys show and I had an awesome time but my memories aren't entirely clear.

[enree erzweglle]

But people who edit motion pictures do it for a living so maybe that streamlines things a little bit.

Plus this DVD thing might still be too close to the tour itself and to whatever personal situation they went through for them to wanna put the type of attention into it that it deserves and that they probably wanna give it...know what I mean?

Do you actually think Mike D, MCA and Adrock are editing this themselves?

It's digital video...it's not that hard to work with.

[Documad]

You know, the Criterion DVD of their videos was so great, with all the extras--better than anything other bands have done. BBs probably don't think they can put out just any old shit like another band would do with a live DVD. But sometimes I wish they would put out more stuff, of lower quality, and faster, at least to us via mail or something.

[enree erzweglle]

Do you actually think Mike D, MCA and Adrock are editing this themselves?
No, but I'm guessing that they're involved or that they will be.

[timmie]

I do believe that Yauch, was heavily involved with the last DVD! & I'm sure that all the other guys have an input on what goes out.

[Freedom Toast]

It's a DVD of a live performance. Any input or involvement by the band has already happened. It's a DVD of a concert, filmed digitally. I'm not sure if any of you are grasping this.

I think I'm grasping it.

My division has a hand in video production of all sorts of public offerings that we give and to produce a quality, interesting piece, it takes time. If you want a flat video that has nothing but the concert in real time from start to finish, then I guess I agree with you. But I'm thinking that this DVD might offer more than that--even just the addition of extras and special features is something that takes time if you want to do it in an interesting, thoughtful way.

[timmie]

I agree! maybe in the extras, it has every single location on the tour with the shout outs!

[enree erzweglle]

That would be so great. Hopefully, they won't self-censor and take out any of the stuff that caused some people to burp. :D

This is such a pointless argument. I've been at work all day (14 hr shift, no breaks).

I also hope this DVD will be kickass with tons of extras (but I doubt it)....all I'm saying is it shouldn't take this long for editing. This DVD is probably going to go the same way as the Grand Royal CD ROM and "the vault".

[enree erzweglle]

okay, i'll be quiet now. :)

[Laver1969]

The Beasties have always worked at their own pace.

[Documad]

There's one shout out that I sincerely hope never sees the light of day. :rolleyes: When James B had us do them, we had to give permission, just in case, but I assume they don't want to scare off future fans by showing ALL the shout outs. Some of the early ones posted in the tour blog were downright disturbing. We're a motley group. :D

enree, you're really trying to stir up some shit today. (I need a shakin' my head smilie)

[Justin]

I dont think its gonna be an "all msg" dvd. I think they will put other performances on there, and im sure they wont put the song twice on the same dvd, so it will be tough to find the best night the song was done, lighting, sound, etc..

I remember seeing a setlist, (maybe on the tour blog photos, but somewhere) I think for the Italy show. And to the left of the setlist of so whatcha want and ch check it out, it said "FOR DVD".

I hope some extra footage includes: Them playing basketball, stuff along the busrides/plane rides to and from concert, where im sure a bunch of funny shit happened. I also hope they put all videos made for the To the 5 Boroughs album on there, along with video's many of us don't have in high quality such as jimmy james, and time for livin.

There also should be some great easter eggs on the dvd: as highlighting there best moments on tv such as the 94 mtv awards/hornblower situation over sabotage not getting the award, and stuff from the earlier days on mtv.

Remember Yauch came on here asking us all if we could name some tv appearances they were involved in. Maybe he will use the most popular choices that we gave him for the easter eggs on the dvd

Hornblower is on the case!

Make me director damn it!

It's MSG on the DVD. We have established that.

Any mention of DVD on a setlist probably referred to a video break.

I agree with you on the easter eggs, but I also hope we get 5B videos, and studio footage.

your view that it shouldn't take this long for editing is fine, but lets look at what they've said - 'the msg gig was filmed for a live dvd', that's it, we don't know what else is going on with it or what the editing may include, so therefore they can take however long they want to put it out. they're not like 'oooh this shoulda been out ages ago we're just being lazy', they're doing whatever needs to be done.

[YoungRemy]

Toast, how many motion pictures have you edited in your day?

it takes years sometimes to market, release, and distribute a film.

this project is no different. more than likely there is no deadline, and no, Yauch probably isnt sitting on his Mac editing this all by himself, but they probably have a post production team working with the band, the record label, the PR and marketing people, and everyone else involved in putting this thing together to make it a great product.

check Nasty Little Man's release schedule , it still says TBD 2005 (http://www.nastylittleman.com/releaseschedule.html) , so as long as that doesnt disappear, that means they are working on it...

[Laver1969]

enree, you're really trying to stir up some shit today. (I need a shakin' my head smilie)

Now that you've pointed it out...your shout-out will definitely be in there Documad.

The Pootytang Adventure should all be included too.

[enree erzweglle]

enree, you're really trying to stir up some shit today. (I need a shakin' my head smilie)
I didn't think it was "stirring things up" at all. I sincerely would love to see the shout-outs as they were shouted out. Sorry if I offended you, D. (Not everyone tries to stir things up although some might take it that way. You know me better than that...)

[enree erzweglle]

I vote for a detailed history of the weave with lots of video and commentary, maybe some arthur murray-like numbered foot illustration & instruction. :D :D

[jennyb]

I'm with Toast. Enough of this horsing around! Get the dvd on the shelves asap! I want, I want, I want!! (!) (y)

[YoungRemy]

eh, who am I kidding??

HURRY UP ALREADY!!

[Tzar]

they definately need it released ASAP.
live DVDs are like..better than cds sometimes.

[enree erzweglle]

Yeah, by waiting, they're probably missing a window of opportunity for luring in fringe fans, but die-hards will get it no matter how long the wait.

[Kid Presentable]

HURRRRRRRYYYYYYY UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPP!

We're working in digital, so stay patient..

[roni]

umm, i don't really know what else to say except that i want the dvd too. and is there any way, since we're regisitered users and all, if we can order and get it before it's sold publicly, like with what they did with concert tix? cuz i think i just might order it if that were possible. i don't want to wait forever, but i guess i am gonna hafta... don't leave us hangin! any details in the mean time would be much appreciated. kthnx :)

[canucklehead200]

the least they could do would be to give us an approximate release date (e.g. middle of july)

[Kid Presentable]

Word. I would like to know if TBD means after the last date listed (ie after July on Nastylittleman), or an earlier date yet to be confirmed...Ya dig?

[adcook]

I was at this show and am really looking forward to the DVD. I'm sure it'll have some better views than my nosebleed seats I had. :D
Awesome show!

adcook

[dave790]

as far as extras, it's probs been said, but all the tt5b video's would be great.

i had this vision that they'd make the songs interchangeable between shows during playback, which i realise is not going to happen, but i always thought that woulda been kinda cool. so like sure shot u switch it over midway through from new york to london, thus getting different beats dropped in by mix master ect

[Laver1969]

I like your idea.

[dave790]

i know i hope they're taking note! seriously though it's probs seem pointless to lotsa people, but for real hardcore fans it'd be super to switch between gigs during playback. it'd be complex (obv not evry setlist is the same, different order ect) but i'm sure it could be done. the msg show and tt5b videos will do though!

[YoungRemy]

alternating between different angles during the show would be tight as well....

i am praying one shot of mine makes that DVD...

[joedick]

Since the Beasties use a bunch of different samples during live shows, won't they have to get them all cleared before putting the DVD out? that's might be what the hold up is...

[Laver1969]

HURRY UP GUYS!!!

Yeah. I'm moving from denial to acceptance that maybe it's going to be a long time before we hear from them again even if it's just a post here. Is acceptance the final stage or do I have more of this to endure? I can't remember the stages in the right order.

After acceptance you have the numbness stage. This lasts for about a year or two, until we get the first blip on the radar screen of some official communication/activity.

The new release date posted on NLM is now 2005-2006... :(

[Taco Zip]

hey look at it the positive way: That could as well be tomorrow :D (y)

Anyway, that page is in my favorites now, just like over a year ago in the pre-tt5b period.

[bussolai]

Im sure they are working hard on it...
like 8 hours a day..
sure!!

just be patience!! :rolleyes:
then when it will be realized you'll be so happy, full of genious stuff!! :p
as usual.. :cool:

[instigator7022]

I'm with Toast. Enough of this horsing around! Get the dvd on the shelves asap! I want, I want, I want!!

I was under the impression that work on the dvd was near completion back in January. :confused: Maybe the guys are evaluating the footage frame by frame?

"Oh, my butt looks big in that shot. Use a different one."

About extras...I hope the shout-outs are not on there. I'd rather see Pootytang's adventure and some of the elaborate MMM video intros instead.

We'll probably see a video for "The Brouhaha" on there. That'll be good.





I disagree. I think that since the shout outs are important enough to be used during the concert that they should be used for the DVD also. It's part of the experience to see stupid people say stupid things on camera.

[Documad]

Yeah, but if you put all of them, from every concert, back to back, it would be bad television.

I probably shouldn't say this, because I always have a bad feeling--I'm a glass is half empty girl--but I won't be expecting much of anything from the BBs. The whole way the last shows were never really announced, and then didn't happen . . . .

I'll buy the DVD if is ever comes out -- if only to see whether my friend and I are on there with all those cameras in the audience--but I feel like I already have closure on the whole BBs experience.

[Kid Presentable]

You'll find they'll move in cycles, each time getting weaker.

If they'd been on it, we wouldn't be talking like this now...

It wasn't only the last shows. All of the concert dates were announced very haphazardly. I booked my New Orleans concert tix before the Chicago and Madison tickets were even announced.

But the Pageant did have a very weird ending...

[midzi]

But the Pageant did have a very weird ending...


It should end differently , because who knows if they ever tour again.

Yeah. Did you notice that the Australian sideshows were NEVER announced on this Board? They never made the list of upcoming shows. I only found out about them from other board members in Australia. Someone wondered whether they had to promise not to promote the sideshows, but I'm pretty sure even the BDO website had a link to the sideshow in Sydney, and it definitely had links to other artists' sideshows.

I've posted before that I had a funny feeling about this tour before it started. BBs never came here at all. I only decided to travel to see them because I figured it would be my last chance. So I did it up big. :D I hope I'm wrong. Either way, I had a ton of fun and definitely would do it all again.

[YoungRemy]

i feel at home in Beastie Boys Live forum, all you people feel the same way I feel...


carry on...

They've done "surprise/low promotion" shows in the past too. Quasar and some pre-HN stuff come to my mind. I think they also rescheduled the Australian leg of their tour back in HN days.

But the way this tour was announced and executed was very weird.

[cj hood]

why would you go thru the time and trouble to make an album only to end the thing (tour, promotions, etc) in less then a year????

I think the shoutouts would be great if they are in the extras section and then accessed via sub menus so that you don't have to watch them all.
For many people these shoutouts will never be watched just like many extras on regular dvd films.
For others like myself it will be a fun , permanent reminder of being part of Beastie Boys history.

Still wish they'd hurry up with the dvd tho'!

Pete :cool:

[slownlow]

good point....and if you havn't realized thier schedule by now.......

[laurie_hammy]

at least there is an appox release date ! gotta be happy with that, an if its late 05 to early 06 im willing to wait, its obviously gonna be awsome if its taken a while. I got a real good feeling about this dvd.

[Taco Zip]

My guess is they will release it in November so everyone is gonna buy that disc for x-mas.

[laurie_hammy]

My guess is they will release it in November so everyone is gonna buy that disc for x-mas.

hey yeah ya probably right there tarco (!)

[bussolai]

But also realize,

Beastie Boys, always on vacation
gahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!
so true!!!! ;)

[boys_beastie]

i like big macs

[valvano]

i like my e Mac

[timmie]

It is still being worked on & edited!

[Praying Mantis]

Didn't the anthology's drop around ThanksGiving? I know that the double cd did b/c that was a b'day gift for me. So a November release would make sense.

[canucklehead200]

My guess is they will release it in November so everyone is gonna buy that disc for x-mas.


that's been what i've been thinking for the longest time

[balohna]

I hope there's a bit of footage from shows other than MSG. I would love to see some Vancouver footage to jog some memories.

[timmie]

I wish that they would just post the wembley in quicktime!! i would love to see that, unless they are collaborating all the snipets from every gig on the dvd?

[Hello_nasty]

I know it takes a long time to edit a DVD and all... but really, how long do they need? I hope not much longer, cause the concert was CRAZY.

[dave790]

I wish that they would just post the wembley in quicktime!! i would love to see that, unless they are collaborating all the snipets from every gig on the dvd?

thats what i thought wudda bin cool, like have the msg show as the main feature, but the supplements part could include swtiching, say for example, sure shot over from the new yourk performance to the london one during playback and so on...but the wembley show was awesome!

whatever though, they can take theirn time, ocs i know it'll be worth. i'd rather it was made as good as it can possibly be than just rush released to suit understandably-eager fans.

[Kid Presentable]

It won't be a big seller, it'll be big news for fans though.

I wonder if the RZA went? Or Mc Serch?

[Tzar]

It won't be a big seller

most live dvds aren't. all music dvd don't sell much. it really is only the fans of *insertbandnamehere* that buy the dvds.

[enree erzweglle]

It won't be a big seller, it'll be big news for fans though.
Yeah, and when it comes, that info might make the news box on the homepage. :D

I'll definitely buy the DVD since I couldn't get to any of the concerts and I'm still moping about that. And I want to experience The Weave.

My fault for missing the shows--I hate to drive and I let that get in the way of getting to one of the shows.

One show would have been 5 hours north and the other would have been 6 hours south. I could have done it although I probably would have gotten a Morticia Addams white stripe in my hair from fear of driving the beltway at 90mph.

But I would have seen them.

I'm still holding out hope that they'll do a festival in Europe in the part of August when I'll be there and that I can catch it and do so without driving. :D
It's a lot of odds but weirder things have happened. Is there an icon for fingers crossed?

[icy manipulator]

any news on it?>

[Hello_nasty]

any news on it?>

No.

[eepop]

No.


Ever think they might release it the week of 0ct 9th?, The actual date of the MSG show? Just a thought.

[eoter]

Well as one of the fans holding the camera at the show at MSG i can tell you there were 30 fan cameras and i believe 8 pro cameras. And if people did what they were told all the tapes would be the same since we were all told do turn on our cameras at a certain point. There is an idependent company that was hired to work on the dvd who have done past work for the Beastie Boys, but they did say the guys wanted to be involved in the finalizing of what shots were going to be used.

welcome back to the boards
they are editing the DVD at Oscilloscope Studios...

[ILLMIX]

I'm getting impatient now, where is this DVD??
and yes this will not sell a lot of copies, the Beastie Boys are not popular N E more, just look at how much TT5B sold compared to Hello Nasty. :confused:

[Hello_nasty]

It'll be out next year, according to Yauch.

[smurfun]

It'll be out next year, according to Yauch.

This is confirmed today. Mike D was interviewed by Jay and the Dr on JJJ today and he also said it would be out next year

What else did Mike say about it?

[smurfun]

That it would have pagent skits they did for big day out on it.

He also said that some fans that had cameras in the crowd from the NYC show felt the need to take the cameras to the bathroom and video themselves going to the bathroom and they prob wont be on there.

Mike also said he is a medical doctor that likes to graft trees to people incase they want to grow their own fruit.

[Laver1969]

^good stuff...thanks!

For real, the Perth Intro was one of the most ridiculously funny things I've seen. Like a freestyle music video. Fuck.

The sound quality is pretty good for a live recording, and they show lots of different angles. Theres a lot of crowd shots, everybody looks like they're enjoying themselves.

like what? What don't you like?

[midzi]

like what? What don't you like?

Well, I can't say much after seeing 20 seconds of footage, I hope I will have a better impression after seeing the whole clip

the angles change very quickly from band to crowd shots, it was chaotic

Do you have an upgraded version of quicktime player (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html)(on the left there is a free download)? If you do I can send you this 20sec clip.

[Hello_nasty]

You probably need iTunes 6.0 to preview.

The whole vid did flip a lot between camera angles, but it's not that bad at all.

[Kid Presentable]

I saw the preview, and it's cool. The audio is sweet. The crowd looked pretty mellow, but that one dude who looked like Ice T cracked me up. :D

[Hello_nasty]

It kind of annoys me how the camera angles switch with the beat at some parts. Anybody else download it and find it annoying? Like it'd be ok to do once in a while, but the camera seems to switch pretty often. Oh well.

[Lipper]

yeah, the audio is almost too good. i like to hear the crowd in live songs. All in all, its pretty sweet.

[YoungRemy]

I convinced my friend with I Tunes to download it, I am loving what I am seeing...


what I can't wait to see is how they edit "Intergalactic" with the Three all over the audience. they are going to go between fan footage from the crowd along with the pros following them around...

When you look at the way Brass Monkey turned out, it's hard not to get excited about every song on the setlist. They did New Style right? And Hello Brooklyn? Shit, imagine So watcha Want! And Sure Shot! Even Triple Trouble!

HOLY SHIT!!! :eek:

[some_dumb_cop]

why pay 1.99 when you can get it free.

meh! i'll still buy it - sounded fucking ace.

According to Allhiphop.com's article, the film will actually screen in theaters before being released onto DVD..... As one of the msg filmers (and one who can be seen in the brass monkey video) I'm happy to say, awesome i fuckin shot that.

[YoungRemy]

i read the first page of this thread, it makes me laugh...

all the people who claim to know about editing a concert film, I hope you realize how much work they have put into this, and Yes, Yauch has been behind this project, produced and directed by Hornblower himself...

THINKFILM MAKES 'AWESOME' ACQUISITION
First Feature Film Creation for Beastie Boys

New York - November 1, 2005 -- THINKFilm has acquired all worldwide rights to AWESOME; I FUCKIN' SHOT THAT, a cinematic celebration of the hugely popular music group Beastie Boys, it was announced by President and CEO Jeff Sackman. A formally innovative feature film experience, it was directed by Nathaniel Hornblower (a.k.a. "M.C.A," a.k.a. band member Adam Yauch) and produced by Hornblower and Jon Doran. THINK plans to open the recently-completed film in Spring, 2006 following significant festival presentations early next year.

On October 9, 2004, the Beastie Boys handed out 50 cameras to audience members at their sold-out performance in New York's famed Madison Square Garden. These 50 different passionate perspectives shot from the point-of-view of the audience take the viewer deep inside the world of a live Beastie Boys show, prismatically and kinetically capturing the experience of a live musical performance like no film has ever done.

"'Awesome' is the only word that can describe the experience of watching this film," says THINK theatrical division head Mark Urman. "It's totally modern and witty aesthetically, but also fabulous to watch and listen to." Sackman adds, "We have been pursuing this film aggressively since we first read about it and think that Adam, Jon, and the rest of their team at Oscilloscope Films are the equal of any filmmaking team we've worked with when it comes to having a vision and realizing it to its best and fullest potential." Yauch added "I'm glad that the film has found a home with THINK. Shit has been bubbling for a minute and now THINK is gonna light a match."

The first white rap group of any significance, The Beastie Boys have enjoyed two decades of top-of-the-charts success since their 1986 album "License to Ill" and its hit single, "Fight for the Right," catapulted them to international acclaim and fame. Their last three albums ("Ill Communication, "Hello Nasty," and "To the 5 Boroughs") were best-sellers, each reaching #1 on the American Album charts. Their latest, "Solid Gold Hits", a compendium of career highlights is about to be released by Capitol Records. In 2000 A two-disc video set with many of the band's videos--most directed by Hornblower/Yauch--was created by Yauch and released by The Criterion Collection. It remains the only music-video anthology released by the noted archival brand. The most unique feature of the DVD is the ability to switch audio tracks and video angles in any number of combinations. Yauch intends to author similar features on the AWESOME DVD, which THINK will release next summer.

Beastie Boys Mike D (Michael Diamond) and Adrock (Adam Horovitz), star in AWESOME along with Yauch and guests. The film was photographed, as Yauch says, by "a bunch of untrained camera operators. But that gives the film sincerity. The people that shot it, were feeling it."

The deal was negotiated by Sackman, Urman, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Business Affairs Randy Manis, and Acquisitions Vice President Daniel Katz on behalf of THINK. Roger Arar and Ken Anderson of Loeb & Loeb represented the filmmakers.

THINKFilm is a privately held company with offices in Toronto and New York.

Just curious - any idea how many of the '50' MSG camerapeople were contacted after the show? From previous posts it looks like 5 people received a follow-up phone call. I'm one of the camerapeople who unfortunately did not receive a follow-up call and am wondering how many more of us are out there and if no call=no footage used=no end credit on film...

"For the film's DVD release next summer, Yauch plans to include features similar to the options on the band's 2000 Criterion Collection video compilation that allowed viewers to switch to various audio tracks and video angles."
