A few words about these BA DVDs:

Although a DVD is capable is holding about 2 hours worth of material, I decided to put roughly 60-85 minutes of material on each DVD in order to preserve the highest quality.

No artwork or jewel cases will be sent with the discs. The listing of material on each DVD can be found right here on this page.

Any questions? Just e-mail me.

2000 Inside Out The last video released from the On A Day Like Today CD

NOTE: BA's music videos starting from 2004 can be found on the DVDs The New Millenneum Volume #3

 

The New Millenneum Volume #1 - 1999-2002
October, 1999 Fashion TV (Canada) BA is in Toronto at the Royal Ontario Museum to help showcase the opening of his Made in Canada exhibit featuring his photographs of Canadian women. BA talks about various photos with the show's host. 6:12 Min.
December 31, 1999 New Year's Eve with Celine Dion in Montral This is the first song performed of the four song set at the Celine Dion NY Eve show in Montreal, Canada. The band comes on stage to Summer of '69 just minutes after midnight and the new millenneum. Other three songs on stage are duets with Celine which are available on the Duets DVD. 6:12 Min.
November 20, 2000 The Who at Royal Albert Hall BA sings lead vocals with The Who on their song "Behind Blue Eyes". Performance takes place at Royal Albert Hall in London. This is a great song for BA to sing and it's nice to hear him sing somebody else's song once in a while. 6:12 Min.
Winter, 2002 Spirit: Stalltion of the Cimarron Movie Trailer Very rare. Featuring BA as the narrator of the Spirit. Once replaced by Matt Damon as the voice of the horse, all promotional tools w/ BA as the lead-character's voice were replaced with Damon's. This it the full length movie trailer from early 2002. 3 Min.

May 25, 2002 Inside the Music of Spirit. Presented on VH1, this is an awesome special that focusses exclusively on BA and Hans Zimmer and how the songs for Spirit came about. Rare detailed interview footage w/ BA, recording of the songs and shows the making of the "Here I Am" video as well as about one minute of the final product. This is the one of the best specials I've seen on BA for US television in a long time. I guess that's what happens when you have a promotional monster like Dreamworks working behind you. Hopefully A&M Records follows suit and promotes more of the CD. 20:21 Min.

 

The New Millenneum Volume #2 - 2002-2004

June 16, 1986 Amnesty International Conspiracy Of Hope Peformance.

Live From Meadowlands, New Jersey

This show is the final stop of the 2 week Amnesty International Tour that Bryan took place in while writing and recording the Into the Fire album. Due to his popularity, he is not the final act of the night, and is given only 25 minutes on stage, but does a good job with the crowd of 80 000. One of the largest he had played in front of at that point of his career. This is the last show with Pat Stewart on drums and the last tour before the Into the Fire album comes out nine months later.
