I despise "fans" like this. There were people leaving horribly demanding messages right on Kate's official social media accounts and I couldn't believe what I was reading. These are people old enough to know better but the entitlement and bitterness was off the charts. It made me feel so ashamed, and so bad for Kate. If I were an artist this kind of thing would make me not want to bother but thankfully Kate is made of much tougher stuff than me so hopefully she can see the moaners for what they are and focus on those of us who are grateful for what she does do.
Anyway, what people have entirely forgotten over the last few years is there was never any actual confirmation we'd get a DVD release in the first place, just that the show was being filmed. I totally understand the desire for one, I want one too, and the disappointment if none is forthcoming. But for people to be like spoiled toddlers about it is shocking. When did people get like this? ![]() |

Would have preferred a career spanning hits collection.
After her first tour her view was "been there, done that, no need to do it again" and it is the same with the songs she performed on that tour. She always said in the intervening years she would only tour again if it felt like the right thing to do and, to be honest, it was only because of her son Bertie wanting to see her perform and cajoling her in to doing so that she played at all. |

However Kate was never about "hit singles" and she was never going to do that as any fan would know.

Sorry to confirm to everyone that I have it on very good authority from someone close to her that the DVD will NEVER be released. The rumours are correct in that she hates the way she looks on the recorded footage so has stopped any plans to release it. Its as simple as that. Obviously believe me or dont believe me but just telling you what I know. Its such a shame, but there you go.

On the liner notes, Kate refers to this release as the audio document, so I wouldn't rule it out.

Whilst I agree with what you are saying, why go to the time, trouble, and expense, of filming a couple of the shows if there is no intention of releasing a DVD/Blu-ray?
But, like the live CD/vinyl recording of the shows, any DVD/Blu-ray release will be on her terms and no-one else's. it's a shame it's not coming out on bluray. it would have been miles better than the cd I'm not a fan of vinyl but the multi disc set appears particularly off with having to turn discs over and change so many times to listen to a show, especially with just 2 tracks on at least a couple of sides. I'd rather have it all one one disc or ripped to pc and play it all in one go, and that's why bluray would be better |

Does her son inherit? Sounds like a good reason to cajole his mother to work again.
If it had been all about the money she'd have played the O2. |

Exactly!
She even looked at the O2 when looking at venues for BTD. She said the O2 was far too big for the show as she wouldn't feel connected with the audience. She could have earned so much more money from this return to stage but it was never about the money. I'm glad Bertie convinced her to return. We have him to partly thank for BTD. I'm very much excited by the CD/Vinyl. I've ordered both. I've already seen rumours of a DVD/Blu ray released before xmas (but I doubt it). I've also seen people suggesting reissues of her first 4 albums on vinyl/CD. I would love that if it were true. All remastered I would hope. I've also seen people suggest a new project being announced but in January 2017. All of these we have to take with a pinch of salt of course. |

I'd be gutted if her next project was re-releases. I've never been able to see the point of remastering to save my life. If someone wants to explain what's worthy about them to me though I'm all ears.

Remasters vastly improve the sound of albums. Tori Amos has done it recently with a couple of hers. Little Earthquakes sounds much cleaner and more fresh. The other album (I forget which) was a bit hit and miss but she's doing the same for Boys For Pele. Vocals can become clearer and instruments sound better.
I don't think the next project would solely be reissues. I would like a reissue of TRS and Aerial though as they are the two vinyls that I desperately need. |

I can believe it. There have been stories circulating for years that Kate hates how she looks now..
Also, I cannot believe that KB is so fragile as to worry that - like all of us - she ages. But even if she was, she can easily afford a personal trainer to whip her into shape. A woman I know, who is five years older than KB ( and worked with exercise and willpower) recently shed four stone, and looks great. So it can be done, if someone is that bothered. KB is very wilful, but preventing the release of a BTD DVD based purely on vanity sounds beneath her. |

Nah, don't believe that for a second. Firstly, KB allegedly spent a million quid staging BTD. But whatever the true figure it was obviously a lot. The show was created as a visual spectacular, and was ecstatically received by fans and press alike. KB knows that millions of fans could not attend and would love to see the show on DVD. None of them give two hoots how slim she is, or not.

If she does'nt like the way she looks on the footage then she certainly isnt going to still release it, just for the fans. People change though, you never though in 5 or 10 years time she might look back and wish that she looked like she did when she was 56 and think, yes I will release it. This is Kate. No one knows. |

She didnt tour for 35 years. She didnt do the gigs for the fans, she didnt do it for the money, she did it for her son, nothing more, nothing less.
Except this time there's the Blessed Bertie. If he wants to see himself on a DVD, it will be in the shops PDQ. |

Technically, she still hasn't toured again. BTD was a residency. But I take your point, that if she doesn't want to do something no power on Earth is going to tell her otherwise....

She does'nt need a dvd release for that, she has probably already got a "finished" edited recording of the gig with all Berties bits for him and her to fawn over.

I couldn't get tickets to her live shows so really looking forward to this - next best thing, I guess!
