Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band - Talking Pictures mk2 Disc 2

THE BONZO DOG BAND: TALKING PICTURES (Revised) Disc 2 NTSC DVD NOT FOR PROFIT A free service to the fans with thanks to the people of the official Neil Innes website. The Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band are legends of British comedy and music from the 60s. Good friends to both Monty Python and the Beatles ... influenced by the latter and an influence on the former, their surreal brand of humor made 1920s jazz hip to a 60s audience. In DISC TWO of this epic set (the final NTSC disc of the collection) we check in with Neil and Roger and the band but mostly explore the post-Bonzo work of Vivian Stanshall, who died in 1995. His poetic, comedic and musical genius is unquestioned, but he had a rocky life due to alcoholism and addiction to tranquilizers. Despite this he continued to create works of great originality and brilliance and this disc is intended as a tribute to him. The specials "Crank" (aka "Diamond Geezer" or "Vivian Stanshall: The Early Years") and "One Man's Week with Vivian Stanshall" are here reproduced in their entirety, as are many other rare TV appearances. If you would like to hear more of Neil Innes, ask about our collections of The Innes Book of Records, Rutland Weekend Television, and our many dozens of discs of his TV and live appearances. We have so many discs of Neil already that I felt no need whatsoever to represent him on this disc. (email me at tygerbug at yahoo.com.) This one's for Viv. So, once again: You may know them from their appearance in the Beatles' "Magical Mystery Tour," as Vivian Stanshall performs "Death Cab For Cutie." You may know Neil Innes from singing "Brave Sir Robin" in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and "How Sweet to Be an Idiot" and a version of "I'm the Urban Spaceman" in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Or even for his masterful faux-Beatles music in the Rutles film. You may have seen them on Do Not Adjust Your Set (a precursor to Monty Python). This is the ultimate collection of Bonzo Dog Band performances. Spread across several DVDs, this will provide hours and hours of entertainment as the Bonzos sing most of your favorites. Edited by Garrett Gilchrist (tygerbug/ocpmovie), the editor who created Star Wars Deleted Magic and The Thief and the Cobbler Recobbled Cut. Their hilarious and wildly entertaining musical madness will entertain hipsters of any age. Many many many other Bonzo Dog, Neil Innes, Rutles and Monty Python related DVDs have been preserved by me, notably the Rutland Weekend Television and Innes Book of Records series. This is the second, expanded version of a DVD originally created in 2005. The first Talking Pictures was just one DVD long. This revised set includes much more and better quality material spread across several DVDs. Even if you're a major Bonzo fan, you won't have seen much of this footage before. I have used clever editing to create new music videos for songs which had no video, to reconstruct clips which had bits missing, and to generally create new video based on shards and little bits of things, to give a full and very entertaining experience. Whenever possible, all or portions of all video and audio have been restored or reconstructed using the best available elements.

Hi tygerbug
Great!!! Thanks again!
And do not forget to seed. No seeders for some time now.
All the best

tygerbug (2007-06-09)

I am seeding all the time, except when I'm sleeping (US Pacific time, about 3AM to noon last night).
This one seems to be uploading much slower than the first disc, but it'll get there.
I have also created two PAL discs which I won't post here - they contain some (not nearly all) of the same material in its original PAL format. I've filled up the second disc with some additional surprises.
Won't post that here, as it's just duplicating material, but email me at tygerbug at yahoo.com anyone who's interested in further Bonzoness.

For people downloadin this torrent, if you do not complete it 100%, it's because the uploader accidentally changed the tiny text file.
He is seeding it so you should probably be able to finish the whole thing except for that one text file, which is probably just the same as the description.

tygerbug (2007-07-17)

If you're stuck at 99%, and have been for some time, you have the entire disc, really. Burn it and be happy.

Gloria (2007-07-25)

Why has this torent never been downloaded?
It's not complete and it is not recognized as a VIDEO_TS file!
Or am I totally wrong?
How do I burn it.
I can see that it has never been snatched...

stanbrook (2007-09-06)

TYGERBUG PLEASE HELP US!
I'm stuck at 99.9%. I don't mind losing a text file but VTS_09_1.VOB is only 99.7% which means the DVD is incomplete.

tygerbug (2007-09-11)

Seriously, you should be fine. A tiny amount of data missing at the end of the disc isn't going to kill the disc.

stanbrook (2007-09-20)

Yeah! I still can still watch MOST of it.

baragon63 (2007-10-13)

Simply amazing stuff here, I've been a Bonzos fan since the early 70s and had never seen any of this material before. Really nice work mastering the disc as well, good menus and transitions between scenes.
Regardless of the VTS_09_1.VOB file showing only 99.7%, the disc burns flawlessly with Roxio Toast, and plays fine as well. The BONZOS2VIV.layout file does not appear to be necessary when burning the disc, as both copies I've burned do fine without it, but perhaps tygerbug had a reason for including it.
As the only file missing is the .txt file, you should have no trouble downloading, burning and enjoying this treasure. Also, despite TPB showing 0 Seeders or Leechers, there are plenty of people sharing this.
Nice one! ;-)

nancyrowina (2007-11-10)

Any chance of some seeders for this? :)

unholm (2008-04-10)

I know & love the Bonzo's plus all their Solo-Stuff for almost 40 years now.
Though I collect their material for a long time, I still found lots of sequences on this 2 DVD's i havn't seen before.
A SPECIAL SURPRISE were the 8 CD's attached to the first DVD !! The VIVIAN STANSHALL Radio Shows are ...UNBELIVABLE !! I find no words for it, maybe just, that my belly & face muscles were hurting from laughing ...
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!
And again, the 99,9% of DVD 2 are ABSOLUTLY NO PROBLEM!!
NOTHING is missing whatsoever.
Best wishes to you,
So long,
Hans-Helmut (unholm)
I'll keep on seeding on, as long as there is need for it. So, don't worry friends!!
"We are normal, and we want our freedom!

sewolawen73 (2011-04-08)

sewolawen73 (2011-04-08)
