From a Pet Shop Boys email distro update today:

"Pet Shop Boys announce the release on DVD and 2-CD of their ‘Discovery: Live in Rio 1994’ concert, recorded towards the end of their 1994 tour of Singapore, Australia and Latin America. Release date is April 23rd. The DVD and CDs package is available for pre-order from today at the link below.

Previously only available on VHS, this is the first time that fans will be able to experience this classic concert on DVD and listen to the audio on CDs. The show was filmed by Brazilian director Roberto Berliner with a local TV crew in December 1994 in front of a wildly enthusiastic Rio audience on PSB’s first visit to Brazil.

A new booklet is packaged with the DVD and CDs, featuring candid on-tour photographs, an interview by Chris Heath conducted during tour rehearsals and an exclusive on-tour diary by Neil Tennant.

‘Discovery’ was shot in 1994 as standard definition (SD) on tape. To keep the integrity of the original the decision was made to restore and present the concert in its native SD format on DVD, rather than upscaling to HD for Blu-ray.

Yeah, I remember seeing the Laserdisc on a trip to London. Never had a Laserdisc player so had someone dub me a VHS copy of this from Laserdisc. Will be great to get this on DVD. I like the intro footage and the medleys they did for some of the songs. Surprised it took so long to get this out. Was expecting it years ago after the Performance video was reissued on DVD.
