Thought it'd be best if we had an actual thread for this. So...
Nugs pulled the No Nukes shows from the Live site for some strange reason earlier this week. People are speculating that this is going to lead to an official DVD release - remember the awesome shots that were featured in Letter To You and the "Ghosts" music video?.
Yes, it'll push other projects back, but we'll get them eventually. I am HYPE for this, that footage we got a glimpse of last year looks mint!
EDIT:
Just watched this again (in full) last weekend.
I love the whole thing, there are primo live Bruce moments from start to finish. But if you were trying to show someone what is / was so amazing about Bruce just as a live PERFORMER (as opposed to any of the other boxes he ticks such as songwriter, singer, musician etc) I think you just start this sucker at Rosalita and play through to the end. Sure, trying to impress someone with Bruce by playing 4 covers seems counter-intuitive... but, on no other criteria other than answering 'why is this guy so revered as a live act?' that segment from Rosalita onwards is exhibit A (and possibly exhibit B also).
Crappy photo of the TV, but come on.... What I wouldn't have given to see these 3, young and with decades of music still ahead of them, on a stage together...

Well, I finally did it... I pulled the trigger on an Amazon order for the No Nukes Blu Ray. I've waited long enough to see this film. I'll have to wait a few weeks longer but I know it will be worth it. With our shitty exchange rate and the import fees we get nailed with here it cost me 60 freaking Dollars, but I know that will be worth it in the long run too.
Back to the clock thingy.... from a discussion on BTX, if I understand that discussion correctly (and perhaps I'm missing something), the timers are something to do with helping to synch film reels with associated audio. So they are there to assist in editing the resultant movie I guess, if this is the case?
The Sherry Darling video left me laughing uncontrollably. He was so young. I was so young.
No idea about the clock / counter thing either, there seems to be one on each side of the stage as it seems to pop up in side on footage either left or right.
Maybe it's recording Bruce's heart rate...
I thought maybe the counter had something to do with how long it would take us to destroy the world with nuclear energy ....... But i have zero idea in reality
I'm sorry but can I please point out how on fire Max is in that clip??? He throws riffs and fills in like a man possessed which I don't think he has played live for years... Sheesh.
I noticed the counter also, quite intriguing.
