FTNK Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 What were the first shows your viewed through Fan Network? I bet a lot of people have shows they've wanted to see but haven't, and when the Fan Network came out they were the first ones they went for. Mine were Cadets 1986 because I wanted to see why it was so different and to see Jeff Sacktig's contra solo with a sop mouthpiece, BD 2004 mainly for the ballad, Star '92 because I wanted to see how it fits/doesn't fit between '91 and '93, and Cadets 1995 because I've heard a lot about how great it is but I've never seen a video. I think a lot of shows I am going to watch are going to be the less talked about ones, since it's pretty easy to find video of champions/most famous shows. Next is 1997 Cavies because I want to know what was "wrong" with it, Star 1990 for the hornline and 1989 to see their take on Porgy and Bess, and SCV 97, 98, and 2000 to 2003 because I love their shows in that era (a style they seem to be going back to). Also, I notice that 2007 has no streaming video--I assume they don't want to kill DVD sales? Quote
FTNK Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Oh, and I eventually want to watch all or most of finals in '82 and '83 to understand exactly how revolutionary Garfield was then. Quote
Hrothgar15 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Wow...with all this talk of people "seeing shows for the first time" it's almost as if no one has heard of YouTube. Quote
FTNK Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 YouTube is fine and all (except for the whole copyright infringement issue and DCP's stated policy against it), but there are a lot of shows--the vast majority--that aren't there. Youtube videos tend to be the champions and a few other famous shows, and a random assortment of other stuff. Please, go try to find Star '92 on the 'Tubes. Quote
bawker Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Wow...with all this talk of people "seeing shows for the first time" it's almost as if no one has heard of YouTube. ...there's quite a bit that's not on YouTube that people have access to now. Quote

Well, unless their adaptation of Porgy and Bess included changing it to a decidedly British style, you may want to check out Star 1988 instead. Quote
DrinkinOuttaCups Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) The first show I watched on the Fan Network was Madison Scouts 2001. Alot of people here were talking about it, so I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype...and for the most part, I think it did! Great show! Edited May 17, 2008 by Mellofone08 Quote
jblamb1401 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 I notice that 2007 has no streaming video--I assume they don't want to kill DVD sales? Before the "new fan network" came out, last year's members had access to the shows DCI put on Encore from 07. Semi's, Indy, etc. The vids from 06 back are finals performances. We never had access to 07 finals. Quote

Anyway - '01 Scouts was my first view. HOLY crap. It's my all-time favorite ending, and it never ceases to give me goosebumps. I can't wait to wacth some shows from the '80s that I haven't seen in years. Quote
acn Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Just watched '03 BAC. First time seeing this. I love the snare line wave during the high note sop thing in Malaguena. Quote
