The Michael Jackson documentary ‘This is It’ is going to be available for purchase on DVD on January 26, 2010. The DVD features the King of Pop’s final performances in two documentaries, ‘Staging the Return: Beyond the Show’ and ‘Staging the Return: The Adventure Begins’. The film has grossed more than $70 million in the US alone so hopes are high that the DVD sales will be soaring. If they really wanted to have huge sales numbers, they would have made the effort to release it before Christmas. Releasing it after the holidays may end up hurting the numbers a bit.

KISS has released ‘Sonic Boom’ last week. It’s the band’s first studio effort in eleven years and people are saying that it’s poised to sell big time. According to early sales reports, the new record is expected to sell between 150,000 to 175,000 copies on its first week out. That is huge for the band who would be getting their first chart topping release ever. The album is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and will feature 3 discs, 1 with all new material, a greatest hits CD and a live DVD from their KISS Alive 35 South American tour in Argentina.

Nirvana headlining at Reading in 1992 was something you had to see, and if you didn’t see it then it was something you pretended you saw.”
Kerrang (October 2003)
“The staggering energy and intensity radiating from the stage never let up… Cobain’s ravaged pop songs coming off like some dream marriage of the Sex Pistols and the Beatles, borne on bracing waves of distorted guitar noise.”
Rolling Stone (October 29, 1992)
Ranked #1 in Kerrang Magazine’s “100 Gigs That Shook The World” and voted as “Nirvana’s #1 Greatest Moment” by fans in an NME poll, Nirvana’s historic August 30, 1992 headlining appearance at the UK’s Reading Festival is one of the most bootlegged concerts in the annals of rock n roll. Now, fans will have an opportunity to own a pristine copy of that entire performance — color-corrected video from the original film with audio sourced from the original multi-track masters. Nirvana Live At Reading will be issued in a limited edition CD+DVD Deluxe Edition as well as DVD-only, CD-only configurations on November 3, 2009, followed by a 2LP version on November 17, 2009.
While the show’s centerpiece was a performance of nearly the entire Nevermind tracklist, also noteworthy were early performances of three as yet unrecorded songs which wouldn’t be released until 2 years later on In Utero: “All Apologies,” “Dumb,” and in its first ever public performance, “Tourettes.” The career-spanning setlist also reached back to the band’s 1989 Sub Pop debut album, Bleach, for “Blew,” “About A Girl,” “School,” “Negative Creep” and first single “Love Buzz,” and even further back to the mid-‘80s for “Spank Thru.” Other songs from the Reading set would appear in studio form on the Incesticide compilation later in the year: “Aneurysm,” “Been A Son” and “Sliver.” Additionally, the band played a pair of beloved covers by two bands that helped shape the formative Nirvana sound – “The Money Will Roll Right In” by Fang and “D-7″ by The Wipers.

Former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent has sued the band several times since he left the group back in 1984. In a new lawsuit, the musician has decided to throw a cable network into the mix. Vinnie is suing the band, along with A&E Television Networks, for using his image without his consent. According to the documents, Vinnie claims that his image was used in a DVD boxed set called “Kissology Volume II’. He also claims that his image was used as part of the “roast” episode of A&E’s show ‘Gene Simmons Family Jewels’. In additions to that, Vinnie also claims that Gene defamed him on an A&E show called ‘Private Sessions’, though he doesn’t specify what defamatory statements were made.

Barbra Streisand’s highly anticipated televised concert special was a big old bomb but the diva sure knows how to push a DVD. The singer’s new three disc DVD set ‘Streisand: The Concerts’ is currently sitting on the top of the Billboard Top Music DVD chart in the US and the UK. The DVD has set a record by selling more copies than any other music DVD that’s been released this year. Nice work! I guess she’s recovered more than enough from that crappy televised show that she did. Good for her. I’d rather forget that show ever happened and the DVD sales are nice distractions.
