Have read that a few of you have this from ebay or similar websites. I won one on ebay only to find it had been removed for being a bootleg..... how else do i get one? Keep looking on ebay? Or can someone perhaps make me a copy?

Such a shame that there is nothing official for this release. We ain’t gonna see nothing now, so a bootleg would be excellent. I’ve only seen the Stockholm concert once, and since getting the new computer I’ve lost it:-(

Personally i would have rather had this in the Roxbox than Unplugged. There has never been a good quality Roxette live DVD released which is such a shame as touring was such a big part of Roxette in the past and we are unlikely to see them tour again

Yeah very true. The Unplugged thing is something that I’m not very excited about really. I’ve seen the majority of it and it’s okay, but not the best. Even it is the London concert from 1995. That was filmed because they showed some of it at a fan meeting. The concert was supposed to be amazing as well

lol. marie has a habit of fucking up the words. She always seems to carry it off though.

I think what would have been really good would have been to have a compilation of their concerts/live performances over the years, including some of the highlights from Look Sharp Live/Joyride/CBB and RS tours, with also perhaps 1 or 2 songs from unplugged and Unplugged, etc. I would also love to have some of the Joyride/CBB tour in DVD quality as i only have the crappy VHS tapes which will be extinct in a few yrs anyway

iuf you really wanan see what can only be described as the best boxed set i have ever see go get bjorks boxed set. I never really liked her so I got this for my uk firends b-day and ended up getting one myself, tons of rarities videos etc....this roxbox and per’s minimal involvement is disappointing and proves emi never really documents much of what roxette had done.

I think it’s the right opportunity to release some live DVD, especially the Room Service tour since it was the las one, officially! I really want to have it even if it’s poor quality!

I don’t think we’ll ever see this as an official release, *maybe* as a bonus but that’s about it.
Although fans will be willing to get it, i don’t think even EMI, would stoop so low to expect us to pay full price for a DVD that isn’t up to the quality that it should be.
I’m still hoping that along with the RoxBox and GH, they’ll finally release DVD versions of Live-ism and Crash!Boom!Live!, hopefully with some nice extras thrown in.

I’d love to have a RS DVD too...
I think the quality of the Stockholm concert is good enough (the original material) and you can make it better with the right techniques and if the sound is brilliant, the picture is not THAT important... and btw there are those videos they screened on the back wall of the stage, you could probably do some creative stuff by using them as well (with splitting screens etc.). And: Asa was filming backstage... see, there a lots of possibilities to cut a cool tour-movie...
I was really wondering why they did not record even one show with high quality by a professional filmteam... strange. Does anybody know the reason?

I do have the room service concert on dvd, it is a bootleg, but the quality is as good as a web broadcast, so don’t expect high resolution ... email me: [email protected]

I would quite like this too. I had a similar experience on ebay
