1974 Nippon Budokan Concert DVD?

[molee]

Hello all! I am newbie to this forum. I am hoping someone can help me. Is it true that the 1974 Nippon Budokan concert DVD is no longer available in the U.S.? To further complicate matters, I understand that it is available still in Japan, but that DVD will not play in our machines here in the U.S. Gee...I would really like to get that DVD and be able to watch it in the U.S.!! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Never knew that any concert dvd was ever available in the US as an official release all concert dvds I know of were only officially available in Japan or outside the US. There are some dvd players that play all region dvds check with retailer to see what ones will play all regions for dvds not sure which ones do. As far as I know there are no concerts of the Carpenters available on dvd in the US.

Thanks for responding so quickly! I must admit that I am very disappointed to hear the DVD is not available in the U.S.. Does anyone know why? In the meanwhile, I guess my quest will continue. I'll eventually have to buy a Japanese version and figure out how to play it later.

Molee, I'm sorry I don't have any information for you about the DVD you're inquiring about, but I do want to welcome you to the forum, and let you know that I bet you'll get your answer before all is said and done. This is a dynamic group of people who have much knowledge about all things Carpenter.

Welcome. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Hi Mo Lee. Welcome to the forum.

Again, sorry ... I know not where you can purchase the DVD you seek.

For purchasing this concert e-bay is a good start but beware of bootlegs and frauds. I believe Live at the budokan is the same one your looking for it is usually expensive. Not sure why Richard does not release live concerts in the US on dvd there have been a few televised "live" shows (live at the BBC) years ago but for some reason Richard wont release any live dvds in America. and yes I also welcome you to our little family here.
