People talk a lot. Especially on social media.

I would much rather have the original TTWII movie with upgraded video and sound quality on Blu-ray.

Absolutely agree. The special edition looks and sounds good but misses some essential moments of the original, like I just Can't Help Believin' and Sweet Caroline. The original definitely needs an upgrade... Bluray or 4K.

Yes… and the DVD version is so poor that I’m almost speechless.
Still, I’ll be very surprised if it ever gets released on Blu-ray.
There was a time when I really wanted the original on Blu-ray, but after a fan
made a really great version with the missing footage — upscaled video and added
stereo sound — that he posted on FECC about three years ago, I really don’t
think about the original movie anymore.

I'd be surprised too if it gets a release on bluray (or 4K). But if those lightweight 60's movies get a bluray release... then a musically relevant movie like TTWII (the original, that is) should deserve an upgrade. It was a missed opportunity when the Special Edition was released, that a bonus disc with the original, remastered, wasn't included.

And the August 12 MS performance of Suspicious Minds... the one from the 11th just isn't as impactful...

I do believe whenever "On Tour" has been screened on the Sky Arts channel in recent years, it has been the original opening credits sequence with "Johnny B. Goode"!!!

Hmmm...why no blu ray reissue of the original???

Agree,that one would also look great in HD.
We almost got the bluray a few years ago but cancelled due to song copyright issues.
