I'm surprised that something from the 50th anniversary shows hasn't been released officially. Were the shows professionally filmed? Normally when that's the case there's a sign going in saying that audience members consent to appearing on the finished release, I don't remember seeing that at the London show.
The fact that the Bryan solo releases can be reissued with demos, alternative versions etc in clamshell boxes with the minimum of fuss (Mamouna) makes you wonder why the Roxy ones take years to appear if ever. The coffee table book in fhe deluxe RM was a beautiful piece of work but I would happily forego one on FYP if it was holding the release up for years while Bryan agonises over its contents. The 1999 remasters are 25 years old this year, surely an upgrade is overdue (so long as it's not a brickwalled one).
