Posted July 18, 2001 · Report post Ok Dalariko Fanatics. Lets hear some of your opinions as to what are some of the best videos out there on Dalaras at a live concert of his? I can think of several myself if not all of them. Chris you have me beat hear, I do not have 35 of them or nowhere near that number so I look forward to your response as to which are the best ones. However, I do have about a dozen of them or so and some that I have have never been published by Minos/EMI. Those are apart of my rare collection and are just as good as the ones that are offered for sale to the public. My top 6 Videos would be: 1. 'Justice for Cyprus' at the Meadowlands arena Every Dalaras fan should have this cd, the recording quality on the tape is fantastic and by far the most professionally done. 2. 'Sti Kypros' something of that nature, I can't seem to remember the full title but it was recorded live in Cyprus in'91. This Video features most of the songs from Dalaras cd 'Es Gin Enalian Kypros' and the songs from Marios Tokas cd 'Fonis Patridas' such as 'Diki Mou H Patrida' This video by the way was never released by Minos to the public. 3. "Sto Dimotiko" boy my memory is real bad here. This video was done in early '92 with the part cipation from the Katsimihas Brothers and fea tures all of their songs on their cd live from 'An Yparhi Logos'. best of all there are more than just 6 songs on the video. It is a whole regular live concert venue session with lots of good songs. 4. 'Live Sto Katrakio' This is perhaps the starting point for new fans of non-Greeks to get acqauinted with the music from Dalaras. It is hear we see him performing new songs in front of big spectators and on large screen tv. Most importantly, we get to witness the beginning of a turning point, His Long Black Hair. Boy I wish he never cut it. I think we can start a new topic alone just by itself as to how his appearance changed from one decade to another. Personally, I always loved Dalaras with long h hair! and definately Not with short hair. Anyone else care to comment on that? 5. Live at the Olympiako Stadio, A fantastic cd of some of Dalaras earlier works where he performs in front of thousands of his fans. And the bonus first time I get to hear him sing with the participation of Parios to bad it wasn't released on a cd. Last but not Least 6. Live at Orfeus. By now far considered to be a 'Classic' to all Dalaras fans abroad and far. This should be the first video for any Dalaras fan to have. In fact this was the videotape and from the 'Ta Tragoudi Mou' record that first introduced me to Dalaras great voice and magic. I have others of Dalaras on video but nothing really new since the 90's. Does anybody have anything new to their collection that they would like share here? Sorry for such a long letter.

Posted July 18, 2001 · Report post Hey Christo, I can't speak as to the video of course I have none - and if I did I could not play them as I have no videoplayer! (Yea, tell me I live in the middle ages ) But I can speak as to the hair: I loved the long black hair but I think the short hair suits him really well! He has this amazingly *Greek* sort of face - with that really rather severe expression - and then he smiles and... Oh well. YOU know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 18, 2001 · Report post Hello Geeske, so you have to buy a video player!! Once before I wrote it's expensive to be a Dalaras' fan. You know why I have a computer at home? I bought ' to mousiko kouti' and to watch the cd-rom I had to buy a computer. That's live! Of course I have computer at my job, but there it's not possible, bzw. not allowed. And the internet using for me is only possible at home ( my money!!) I'm not so lucky as some members in the club here! I heard there will be a DVD of Dalaras at the end of the year. You know what I'm doing now? Saving money to buy a DVD player!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
