Wow! Looks like an official release! The quality sounds good, do we know about the source? Would love to have Wembley 85 as well, a much better concert to my taste, with the full Tunnel of Love...

But, how come the official DS channel can make such a gross mistake as to mix 1986 with 1992?

I also noticed that official videos of the Dortmund 80 concert are here too! Any idea of the source? Is seems good, would love to have "News" as well...

Not only they say it's 1992, they also use an image of MK from 1992.
I no longer have words for such incompetent behaviour.

Im almost certain these are auto generated and applied to the official DS YouTube page by some algorithm. You see bootlegs appear on Spotify/Amazon every now and again too appearing to be official artist releases and they are soon removed so I’d imagine the same will happen here

I find it hard to believe that the administrators of the YouTube channel would allow that. There are very few DS albums, very little official live content, why not adding them by hand!

But then again I wouldn't have thought it possible to let a 1986 concert labelled with a 1992 name and image, so everything is possible in this decadent world...

Crazy that the official channel is uploading bootleg material, using an image from the wrong bootleg. Shambles.

Feels like DS actually don't have much control over these channels.  Even bootlegs are more accurate
: can't think of a single bootleg mislabelled by the wrong year, artwork yes.

Can't help think they sold this off with the rights to the catalogue.

The Dortmund 80 videos are labelled accurately though, with proper copyrights from the German TV, maybe those were chosen by hand, and we can hope for some more ?

I think I saw silver pressed bootlegs with wrong dates on the sleeve.
can't remember particluar ones yet, but I'm sure I saw several ones

You can send me the right image for this bootleg and I'll try to pass it to the channel's manager. You can send it to me at fffoma@gmail.com

All the mistakes should get corrected. Or at least suggest a different image or something.

My understanding is that that was just access to Ed's share, it wouldn't give anyone other than MK and JI overall control of what happens.

Excuse at all, but in youtube channel I don't find these videoes? There is a special link?

I can't see anything, so I guess the video has already been removed.  :(

Houston/San Antonio '85?

This isn't unheard of, sometimes it's not entirely clear what date a certain tape is from and you go by assumptions - until someone finds a properly labeled master tape in the attic :)

Wrong dates, venues and months yes but usually not by years or tours
