Title: G n R Donington DVD
Post by: websitemad on December 11, 2005, 02:21:23 PM
Hi, new here,

I am a long time KISS fan (I know what you're thinking, wrong board !) and was transferring stuff caught on the old camcorder  that day (a backstage photo shoot that KISS did in 88 at Donington, people got talkin about Donington from 88 on a KISS forum and I just thought I'll dig out that old tape).

I just transferred everything filmed that day, not that much, but the biggest chunk, 18 minutes or so, is of Guns and Roses onstage, pretty close up, you can even see the guy filming out front for the paradise city vid!

Have looked on a couple of G n R  forums and can't find any video footage mentioned, have I got the only stuff from that day ?

Have transferred the footage from VHS to a DVD, and just so people can get an idea what it's like, I have compressed it (so the quality is not brilliant, but you don't wanna be downloadin for hours now do ya ?) and uploaded to www.youtube.com, it saves my bandwidth !

http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=xrj-3TrLpV0 (if you got a slow connection, let the page load for a little while before pressing play)

I know it's not brilliant quality on the net because of the compression,
But if anyone wants this lot on DVD in very good quality (1st generation, like watching TV), let me know and maybe we can sort something out.
B.T.W. I am no longer a Guns and Roses fan...just grew out of em.

Cheers

Cool, but if you don't like GN'R anymore, how can we trade?

I don't have anything Kiss related, but I have a lot of U2, Led Zep and Pink Floyd boots if you're interested (and obviously a lot of GN'R boots). PM me if interested.

Any way you could torrent that on www.dimeadozen.org , in case you don't find anything to trade you like?

It looks exactly like that !

One week after it was filmed, I did loan the tape to a friend...I guess he copied it and it's been doin the rounds ever since !

Ah well...

Even though it may be the same quality, it'd be nice if you could torrent your transfer on DIME. :)

It looks fine to me, but I think it would be cool if there would be any photos with Iron Maiden and Kiss too  : ok:
