DVD Preview Party

Last week, a-ha.com held an official DVD preview party in Berlin, Germany. Over 130 fans from Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, United Kindgom, United States, Hungary and Russia were there to watch an exclusive full screening of the DVD one week before its commercial release. However before the screening began, party guests were surprised by a visit from Morten Harket, who arrived around 8:45pm at Goldapfel Cafe. Morten stayed at the party for about 30 minutes, and took the time to speak with many of the guests, sign autographs and pose for pictures.

When Morten left, everyone took their seats and soon the DVD screening began. We had two floors to use: the basement was set up with comfy couches and chairs for viewing the DVD, which were moved afterwards to make space to dance; and the upstairs was the bar/cafe area where people sat at tables and were able to order food and drinks. The atmosphere was different on each floor – in the basement people were intent on the screen and not talking much, and upstairs people were milling around, talking a lot, and some clapping and dancing went on towards the end of the concert. Still, overall the mood was one of nostalgia and celebration. When the DVD concluded, the dancefloor became crowded and the dance mixes kept people on their feet until well after 3:00am!

In addition to the DVD screening, there was a prize raffle. Party guests could purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win a-ha merchandise, a signed copy of The Swing of Things, a brand new ‘Summer Moved On (Live)’ CD single, and copies of the Oslo party DVD. All of the money collected through the raffle ticket sale was donated to the Red Cross to assist their efforts in Japan, and a-ha matched this donation as well. Thank you to everyone who gave generously!

Party Photos and Video

There is a set of party photos on Flickr. There is also a video clip of Morten’s visit to the party on YouTube.

*Release available now in: Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malaysia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine.

    I just watched the DVD and I think it’s a shame!
    90% of the concert is December 3 and not 4
    I only saw 3 songs, 4 December: the swing, butterfly, crying
    And the bonus is ridiculous … 15 minutes from fans who say thank you: great!!
    pfffff I’m really disappointed …

    This is it. Finaly we came to the end and it seems, that this was the last shipment I will get with a CD or DVD from a-Ha.
    The DVD is great and I’m happy that I have been there at the last concert at 04.12.2010 in Oslo; I was a part of it.
    But now? Never ever? To miss someting after 25 years is not that easy. But hey, they made everything korrekt. Great music, many concert, endingn on a high note, one of the best cd’s at the end, demo-songs for hunting high and low and scoundrel days, a best of and here the live cd’s and the dvd. what else?…………

    There is nothing else to say (like the german girl-group on the dvd):

    Thank you for the soundtrack of our lives!!!!

    Thank you, take care and I wish you all the best.
    Peace
    Marco, Switzerland

    I just want to know Why weren’t the CDs and Blu-ray released in Brazil yet?

    I must say that a lot of Brazilian fans are very angry because we’re responsible for lots of crowded shows and a world Guiness record, we always received the band here with attention and love, and countries that we even haven’t heard about already have their names in the list of releases while Brazil is out.

    I’m very disappointed, and I’m sure A-ha doesn’t know it’s happening.

    I want my CDs and Blu-ray, but I’m not going to import them, I want them released in Brazil. :-(

    The sound is simply fantastic!!!
    Morten, Pol, Magne – you’re the best, I will never get over you and I very much hope you will ever meet;)

    Lo mejor de lo mejor este DVD. Desde que vi el concierto despedida en Buenos Aires, me puse muy triste, al saber que era lo último que podía ver de A-ha para siempre.
    De todas maneras, como los grandes artistas de todos los tiempos, vivirán en mi memoria y mi corazón hasta el final de mis días.
    Gracias A-ha!!!!

    Does anyone know if there are issues playing the DVD on a North American DVD player? I notice it’s released in the UK and I believe the formats are different. Thanks!

    The DVD in the Deluxe Edition I got in the US (listed as an import) is in NTSC format and it has serious production problems (it’s missing all the bonus features, it freezes). The Blu-Ray version has gotten rave reviews in North America. NTSC format SHOULD play in North American DVD players–but something is seriously wrong with these DVDs. Better to stick with the Blu-Ray if you can. I’ve already had 2 different Deluxe Editions–and both had the same NTSC DVD issues. Still waiting to hear back from Universal about these problems. Anyone else have an answer?

    The dvd is a solid representation of their hits and The audio and video quality is excellent

    *It captured one of music’s legendary trio at their best and showed just what wonderful singer Morten Harket is and how perfectly they fit together!!!*

    Please, please, please tell me the DVD is going to be available in North America. I ordered what was supposed to be a NTSC version through Amazon, and when I received the DVD, it was PAL. Totally useless to me!
