Notice they started using music as a backdrop even in the first season, but in Season Three it really picked up. Love that.

[cheride]

You know, from what I can recall, some of these were covers, but some of them were original artist versions. The big hoo-ha in DVD world these days is replacement of the original music track because of licensing costs. I hope we aren't going to run into that with this show.

[Coyote Queen]

Well, if they do what they did to the Greatest American Hero DVD's, we're in for a big let down.

[doll]

hi, brand new here. *waves*

i'll tell you what - i've just finished watching the first season (on dvd) and while it *is* joey scarbury singing, it most definitely is *not* neil diamond.

but really- i will put up with it to have them on dvd.

doll

[owlcroft]

Oh, no. Does that mean we're not going to get the _original_ music after all? Someone please tell me I'm not understanding this correctly. It really starts to matter with Season Two. Maybe it's not too late to change their minds at VEI, or offer to pay more so they can cover the licensing costs?

[doll]

well, i don't know.

all i know is it was NOT neil diamond.

but some of the older songs ie, the ones by the associations, the silhouettes, sinatra, etc - i think those might be copyright-free now, so they could have them

i would be surprised if the stones, or seger or the fixx or rod stewart would let their songs go without a hunk of dough.

some of the other bands i don't even remember, or they're not that big anymore -juice newton, david morgan, bonnie hays- they could probably get those pretty cheap.

and you know, re: the particular episode i'm talking about (RNC&GWASH) i couldn't tell if patti labelle was singing or not, it was just NOT neil that was obvious.

really though: this is the best packaged dvd set i have ever seen, and if they have to change over some of the music to afford it, well, there's worse things that could happen.

(say, for example, the emergency! dvd sets)

[doll]

oh, but hey!

i was looking for info on vei, 'cause they are SUCH a good company, and this is some info that i found on the tvshowstodvd site:

Cannell is notorious for replacing music in the DVD releases, but I spoke with VEI and they told me that all the music is intact for the set. Hey, that's good news!

i STILL say it's not neil diamond, but maybe it wasn't neil in the original. y'all will have to listen to it and let me know if i'm crazy or not.

[owlcroft]

But what's wrong with being crazy? If you're an example, then I'd say it was a _good_ thing. And thanks for the reassurance about the music. I'm not sure I'd recognize Neil Diamond, but I know someone will check it out and get back to us!

Yeah, I still say there are plenty of original eps that use cover versions, and I'm pretty sure this is one of 'em. Haven't seen it in a while, but I seem to have a firm recollection of it not being Diamond. (And, nerd that I am, I have some of his albums, and I've seen the man in concert. I'd hope it would stick in my head if he was crooning on the show.)

[doll]

yeah, from what *i* remember, cannell (besides using the same actors all the time) used joey scarbury a lot to sing stuff.

and by 'stuff' i don't just mean title songs and original music, but covers of songs, because it's easier to pay for using the lyrics than it is to pay for using the original recordings. JS was kind of like SJC in-house band.

BTW- i listened to that episode again yesterday, and not only is it definitely NOT neil diamond, but i believe it is JS

anyone else?

[blk95ta]

I have a song addition for that list

The Day the Music Died

"I fought the Law" - Bobby Fuller Four

[Coyote Queen]

Noted. Thanks! I'll update the list soon.

[theyankeeclipper]

The Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is the only 'original' version I remember them using. I'm not sure on this, but CCR's "Run Through The Jungle" sounds like the original.

Everything else was covers, except for the show exclusive songs. I.e., Juice Newton's "You Don't Hear The One That Gets You".

[jadzia2000]

The day the music died....

Don't forget "Hey Jude" by the Beatles.
