ACCORDING TO THE INFO GIVEN WITH THE AUCTION OF THIS DVD,THE
JAPANESE COMPANY WHO OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS CONCERT HAVE DELETED IT,AND IT WON'T BE POSSIBLE FOR IT TO BE RELEASED UNTIL 2010 AT THE EARLIEST. FOR ME PERSONALLY,THIS IS WORSE THAN MICHAEL JACKSON OWNING THE RIGHTS TO THE BEATLES SONGS !

bollocks, we have this offical items already 2 years I believe, is legally released in Japan and can be ordered without any problem online through a number of Japanese DVD/CD shops. Price is 25 euros ... this is a pure rip off, do not buy this.

THANK YOU STINGUS - THAT'S GREAT NEWS !

If the Hatfield DVD IS availible somehow from japan can someone please point me in the right direction... ta

I've had this DVD for years.... bought it off ebay in 2005.... actually, there's that guy who had a link to his own website with the boots.... i purchased most of my police video boots there.... hatfield included....

I didn't know it was commercially available....it's been on emule for ages but I had no clue what the original source was. Brilliant gig!!

I too have this dvd. I bought mine off oh Ebay a couple of years ago. I payed quite a "heafty" price fot it.
Christine

Yes.... but does anyone know if it is currently availible somehow?

Or does anyone know why sting says "hi chris" in the middle of message in a bottle?

there's a guy in the crowd with a banner 'hi mum. chris'.
when i watch this gig i get the impression all those rambunctious youngsters had come to the gig only to get on the telly. what a golly.

Thanks, that's been bugging me for ages. Yeah, they're a noisy bunch, what are they shouting before message in a bottle?
