Wembley 85 official release on DS YouTube channel

[Jules]

Despite being now a marginal part of revenues, 5,000,000,000 US $ are still good money for the record companies and keep the production of the CDDA alive.

And if your immediate surrounding is not buying phisycal media, it doens't mean that the rest of the world is doing the same.

Yeah, I also posted a link showing that Walt Disney, the biggest entertainment company in the world, are ending disc production in Australia.

But I’m sure you are correct, physical media sales are booming, whatever you say sir.

Booming or not are well enough to keep production, except for Australian Disney 😛

Disney no longer producing DVDs and blurays for sale in Australia due to declining sales:

Looks less likely we'll see the Madrid 2001 DVD then.

In all seriousness, it does make me wonder about the future of live concert DVDs now sales are so low.

They used to be big sellers, along with live comedy DVDs. Live comedy shows still turn up on streaming sites but live concerts not very often, sometimes with a huge star like Springsteen on Broadway.

Lol

Of course I am correct, my source is The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
They know a little about the state of the MUSIC market.

My point is not about Disney and moving pictures...

Blu-Ray format is almost totally dead, and DVD come close.

Well with the advanced technology of IA maybe they will be soon able to fix the sound and release it

Well the conversation was discussing Julio’s point asking why these VIDEOS aren’t being released on a physical format, do keep up.

[ds1984]

My bad then.

[dustyvalentino]

Anyway, as one of the small number of people who still buys physical music I’m glad that it’s making up close to 20% of revenues so thank you for sharing your chart.

Yes, the market for a live concert DVD has been diminished by all the YouTube videos you can find the following day.  Isn't it ironic that we invented the DVD and Blu-Ray partly for maximum picture and sound quality and yet they are being phased out because we are happy to watch mobile phone footage on YouTube!

I find DVDs and Blu-rays a hassle, so streaming movies and concerts in full HD is perferct for me. I also run the sound signal optically out from my TV to a DAC and into my hifi. Great picture and sound.


I still like to buy CDs though, even if I don't own a CD player at the moment. Not sure if I will get another player, but I will probably keep buying CDs, rip them to FLAC and stream the files locally.

But do you find a lot of concerts available to stream?

I'm not that much of a concert watcher, but it's true that the selection is not amazing. However, for people who like jazz and classical, there's stuff like medici.tv and qwest.tv. And I just discovered this: https://qello.com/en/ Of course it's all subscription based, so it quickly adds up.

[dustyvalentino]

Interesting, did not know about Qello, thanks

I am absolutely not happy about watching mobile phone footage of a concert on YouTube. I want official concerts on Blu-ray, but I feel I am more and more in the minority, but there you go!!

[Jules]

I nowadays don't watch any live concerts dvds not because of lack of players, I have two, but lack of time. I have several packs of records released in the last let's say 5 years that I didn't have time yet to watch properly like the recent RAH Clapton special 24 package...
