Nightshade Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 U2, Madonna, GREEN DAY & More Featured On VH1's Friday Night Alright 2010 Concert Series Beginning New Year's Day 2010, VH1 births "Friday Night Alright," a music fan's passport to first-class rock and pop music concerts in HD from around the world every Friday night at 11 PM. The weekly global musical expedition is scheduled to begin on Friday, January 1, 2010 at 11:00 PM*. On that night, Pink's high-flying "Funhouse" tour kicks off an itinerary packed with A-list performers set to roll out the first quarter of the new year including U2, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Green Day, Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas, Taylor Swift, The Killers, Coldplay and Katy Perry. Jim Shearer, of VH1's "Top 20 Video Countdown," will present the series. "VH1 has a long, successful history as home to great live music, from 'Storytellers' to 'VH1 Hip Hop Honors' to "VH1 Divas Live', which we were so happy to bring back this year," said Ben Zurier, Executive Vice President, Program Strategy for VH1, VH1 Classic, and Palladia. "'Friday Night Alright' will be the premiere destination for concerts on television -- a different show featuring an A-list artist every week, driven by the excitement of arm-waving, foot-stomping audiences. The series literally covers the globe to present the best artists, and the best-produced concerts." The schedule, spanning shows from Argentina, Australia, Italy, the U.K., Malta and The Netherlands as well as the U.S., includes: January 1 Pink's "Funhouse" Show from Sydney January 8 Best of "Austin City Limits" January 15 Pre-empted by VH1's live telecast of "Critics Choice Movie Awards" January 22 Madonna January 29 Creed February 5 Muse February 12 "46664 Mandela Celebration" 2009 with Aretha Franklin, Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder February 19 Green Day February 26 Jason Mraz March 5 Black-Eyed Peas March 12 U2 March 19 John Legend March 26 Bruce Springsteen at Glastonbury in the U.K. April 2 Lady Gaga April 9 Best of London's Vfest, with Taylor Swift and Katy Perry VH1 connects viewers to the music, artists and pop culture that matter to them most with TV series, specials, live events, exclusive online content and public affairs initiatives.

Latest rumor from Warner Canada (according to TorontoPhoenix@MTRIBE) is sometime in March 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurt420 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 VH1? How cheap. Geez Madonna can't even get to HBO anymore. I'm pretty confident Gaga won't have that problem while shopping for which network she wants The Fame Ball shown on. She's on fire and networks will be begging to broadcast the show so they can get those "monster" ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBO doesn't show concerts anymore now that they're more established with their own programming. They used to show concerts fairly regularly in the 80's and 90's but died off early this decade (tho they did show Madonna, Britney, Janet, N'Sync, Rolling Stones and one or two more).... they did give it one more go-ahead with Justin Timberlake's concert but ratings didn't come near expectations. And again, another reason why album sales are in the terlet. Music saw a huge jump in sales following HBO's DWT broadcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 At least Madonna is throwing us her crumbs with this TV airing. This DVD should have been released long ago. I've seen other shows released on DVD at a quicker rate than this this concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga can't even sell out arenas in the US (or even bother to try) ...and a large audience would not watch a Gaga concert special. Sorry. She can't even outsell Susan Boyle...which is odd, since supposedly she's the new "it" monster. Smoke and mirrors fade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 April 2 Lady Gaga Obviously means we're getting a live dvd. The CT airs regularly on VH1 over here. I remember when she turned 40, they had a month of celebrations and aired all her tours during it. The aired BA on a Sunday afternoon and left the swearing in it.

Fart420 was doing his UBER SUCCESFUL and HEE-LARIOUS sarcasm shtick again so I dont think the serious response is warranted. ANYWAY I dont know about this. Its nice it will be on TV but I hope it doesnt delay the DVD even FURTHER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai Papi Si. Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Drama_Boy, you're another one that's getting on my last fucking nerve. We got it. You're over Madonna right now. Trying to bait everyone with that clown in your avatar is not doing you any favors. Post what you think and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 The item mentions Argentina as one of the concert locations, so I'd think it's S&S (though re-Invention would be nice, wouldn't it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lymon Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 The item mentions Argentina as one of the concert locations, so I'd think it's S&S (though re-Invention would be nice, wouldn't it?) I'd love if they showed the Re-Invention Tour. It's an absolute joke that it hasn't yet seen a wide release. It's the only Madonna tour that does not have some sort of professionally recorded video for the entire show (IGTTYAS doesn't have all videos from it).

Sorry. She can't even outsell Susan Boyle...which is odd, since supposedly she's the new "it" monster. Smoke and mirrors fade. Susan shits all over on Gaga! Gaga's being the "it" factor is certainly short-lived. How devastating for her fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
