For once I will explain. I saw the unedited version of the Dubai concert too.

When the music starts playing Vanessa-Mae is moving her upper body to the music. You hear the intro playing. She is hearing that too. She can;t be off-guard. That particular part of the video is our of sync. Probably ...

I only have problems with inaccurate information is portrayed. In other words, I'm saying be careful on how you word things. You speak on this matter to other people as if you are certain, when you're not.

You said that I have a problem, but you seem to forget that on one particular occasion you ...

Benji, I don't want to discuss this anymore not now not in the future. Not because I am dogmatic but because it leads us to nowhere other than spoiling the atmosphere in this forum. So I ask you to stop trying to lead me in such a discussion.

So please don't reply to this!
Agreed; however, if ...

You are right, you don't have to defend your views, but then again, you'll tell people that "yes she played that live" as if you know for certainty, rather than saying "I think she played live, but I could be wrong."

THAT is what irks me, I've seen a few times where you told people that she for ...

We are back to the same old story: you are sure Vanessa-Mae mimed at the handover to China, I am sure she played live. Let's leave it to that! I don't want to argue about it. I respect your view, but disagree with it.

Very true we're very much in disagreement, but the thing is every time I ...

Well, it's sort of a moot point because in the CBA Launch video, Vanessa apparently is using another violin. Of course, I'd like to know when it was made, by whom, how long she had it, and what made her buy this particular one.

As for Happy Valley, I'm 100% sure it was mimed during the Handover ...

It's rather odd that ZETA still doesn't have a Vanessa-Mae signature series violin for the Jazz Fusion model ... none of the violinists on their site are nearly as popular as she is.

You said that you don't think it wasn't her "Gimzo" she was using on Bach Street Prelude. You are right .. the ...

It's interesting to see how she's changed over the years ... When she first started the Red Hot Tour, she used her electric violins for all her songs; in fact, during the 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Concert, she used her electric violin for all the music played--even the couple of classical pieces ...

I have a tape of a 1997 concert, but that was in January at Birmingham, and she opened with Beethoven. I remember you asking me about it Benji a long time back, and I finally got one of those capture card things, but I don't think this is what you're looking for...

Ok, I'll ask Glenn or can you make it available for this forum?
I don't have a video capture card :-(

I also found some more info about the Hampton Court Music Festival :

"The Hampton Court Festival was founded in 1993 and now enters its 12th season. International artists of high repute ...

Let's wait and see if any reaction comes to your request on the 97 concert.
Glenn has the 1996 Concert; it was great as usual.

Benji, I think all of us would love to have a video of this great concert.

Do you have any reason to believe that such video exists?
One, it was sponsored by Mitsubishi .. there has to be footage of it somewhere.

Just like there was footage of Vanessa-Mae's Mitsubishi Lancer Concert in late ...
