Does anybody know if it’s made from that poor quality webstream or if it’s made from another source? Also is it something like the Live-ism DVD or is it just a home recording? Obrigado!

Thanks Tev! If it is any good I’ll have to buy it. I’m off to bed now! Good night.

I was told some time ago that this DVD is simply ripped from webcast so the quality is rather poor.

Arnie... any such product that is not actually being released “officially” ... is by definition a bootleg. Even though this has the EMI logo on the cover... it’s definitely NOT released by EMI... and so, therefore, it’s a bootleg. Bootleg has nothing to do with quality... it only means that it’s illegitimate.

I guess arnie meant with bootleg a proffessional pressed cd/dvd with a silver backside etc., and with dvd just a dvd someone burned at home.

Probably I haven’t express my self very well and I created some confusuon! Sorry about that!
Anyhow I know it’s not official but it didn’t know if it was licensed from EMI or if it was a bootleg 100%.
Also I tend to call bootlegs only unofficial recordings pressed on CD and or DVD with professional equipment (eg. the bootleg CD of Dance Passion is pressed and not burned on CD-R). To me a CD-R or DVD-R (unless it comes from EMI) is less than a bootleg!, it’s just a recording anyone could do.
That’s mt way of interpretating what a bootleg is but I know most people also associate CD/DVD-R to the word so sorry for the missunderstanding!
I have decided not to buy the DVD if it’s rubbish. Thanks to all for the suggestions!

It was also “released” featuring a sleeve with red types, and Roxette photos in black & white on the front. Different sleeve, but still the same recording.
