Yeah L.A. now that'd be wild, who knows what the oficial footage looks like, or how much there is?
Probably put Falo in coma if they finally released it after that incredible effort on his MFG project, still though must be said that potentially the 78 bootleg is more than a competitor for the official Texas 78. So rock on Boots

so, to sum up, all we can expect is to have the Hampton DVD in widescreen.
well, in that case, I won't buy that Hampton DVD cos there will be nothing new.Quote

No, it will be in 4:3 standard for television up until recently, what you'd call a square shape, not the rectangle of your widescreen TV. So expect as per "The Checkerboard Lounge" black vertical lines either side of picture.
To create a widescreen picture they would have to cut off the top and bottom of the picture, sacrificing nearly 25% of view and that ain't gonna happen. If you look at David Bowie's Serious Moonlight and Glass Spider Tour DVD's they were recorded with Television Camera's and are of a considerably lesser quality than the Motion Picture Camera filmed 72' L&G, Texas 78 & 81's Lets Spend The Night Together.
Remember the Band had already gone to the trouble and expense of Filming 3/4 performances for inclusion in the Film LSTNT, so making a second film at Hampton would have been pointless. It's only the fan sentiment and success of the archive releases that the band would effectively release a second visual record when one already exists.
I happen to like LSTNT, it's shot from strange angles and has one of my most favourite versions of YCAGWYW, I adore Ronnie's long solo almost mucking Mick up, and Neighbours/Black Limousine is a stunning intro to 2 new songs

I hear there will be a replica of Mick's football pants included as part of the set.

Although that truly sweetens the deal it turns out they are key-chain size so no jumping around in the mirror...and would it kill them to through in the cape?

I think the footage from 1975 is from the Bill Graham archives.
Mick mentioned in the trailer from TEXAS1978 that he was responsible for the filming.
Wasnt he the promoter for most LA concerts in the 70's?
One thing about Hampton.........the Stones have ALL the camera angles in their archives so we may get different footage than on the PPV.
Can anyone tell me what Mick was talking about when he said "dressed all up in a Turkish jock strap?"

My boot leg DVD of Hampton is just fine, especially if they don't release it separately, or want and arm and a leg as part of boxset.

The article says there will be box sets for ALL Stones Archive releases. I'm sure the rest will have a standalone DVD released by Eagle Rock.
I watch it 2 days before the 1st paris show in 1982. It was in a place called "Vidéostone" 17 de la rue des Grands-Augustins 75006 Paris. Stayed open only 2 years!Quote

It's a bit sad though that it took them 32 years to release this. The original Hampton PPV was never shown in Europe so I would have loved a VHS of this in the early 80s...

Well, I would rather say: Please, Mick, Keith, put the Hapmton DVD/Bluray out! If there is a boxset for those who want to pay 500 extra, good, but let it be a plain DVD/Bluray in the first place.
