Didnt they film a whole show in 2003 or 2005
For a dvd

It's the intro to the Dallas 2005 dvd I think.

This was the concert where they had cheerleaders come out at the end of Don't Stop Believing. This was during the tape gate debacle. Even when they announced the show was being recorded, Deano and I said it would never see the light of day.

All these years later, when many don't know or remember, it would be nice to see it released, even if just a live album retrospective-type release. I mean, Cain even was using the tape for Every Generation. I get going back into the studio to redo or clean up vocals, but it was a shame everyone was using them when they didn't need to.

I think the footage is unusable because Augeri awkwardly covered his mouth with a mic for all of these show. This is a dark era that should be left behind.

I love that intro music.

Me too. It's on the 2000 DVD, too. I believe it's actually called Arrival. Would have been a great way to start the album prior to Higher Place... as with Majestic on Evolution.

Ya, I agree...but you wouldn't see that if it were just a digital release on iTunes instead of video. That's more of where I meant to go with my comment, then a DVD-type release.

Pretty sure this was the show/DVD that Kevin Elson had told me they were going to have Augeri go into the studio and remix his vocals for. But once they caught fire with Arnel there was no going back.
