Thanks for posting, first time I've ever seen this. I enjoyed it but I thought it would have been a bit more intimate based on the title, still it was good.

Hey MAK! Thanks for posting. I haven't seen this before either. It was interesting, though shorter than I expected it to be. Watching that one fan-guy talking to Melanie, I thought if I met her or Peter I wouldn't say anything. . . Melanie seems to feel uncomfortable about it herself. Oh my. (Sorry to the guy, if you read this!)

Hanging around her dad she's probably used to it.

You're very welcome all! Just thought I'd share!

My favorite scene from Family Portrait was when the two PG fans were talking about his videos and how cool the concert was. You could almost feel excitement and the great energy they got from the experience right through the screen. Makes me want a new PG tour even more! Also seeing Issac as a little baby and how much his father adores him was heartwarming.

At 4:20 in part 3, Peter starts talking about someone yelling out "I love you Melanie" at the show that night. That was me. It was the Minneapolis show and at the end of Mercy Street (I think) he introduced the band. He said Melanie's name and when the crowd applause began to die down I apparently felt it was time to express my feelings in shouted words. He did actually respond and say, "Shhh. her father's listening.", which I thought was cool enough. But then this little bit showed up in the DVD and. well, it's pretty neat to have my own little insignificant moment referenced in the movie.

Wow,AndySlash!I've seen him talking about it and thought "Hey,the guy who said it must have guts!"Wow,again!Where have you been? :-]

LOL! That's pretty cool.

Is this DVD not widely available any more? I notice you can't buy it from the Realworld store, and I finally managed to get myself a copy off ebay last week but I had to get Region 1, even though I'm in the UK (and Peter is a UK artist!)

Hi First Mate Starbuck Funnily enough i have just purchased this in Region 2 format off Play.com here in the UK. It is 'used' but that's the only way you can seem to get it! I did notice though that they had it 'new' in Region 1 format for around £11

Just spent a happy 40mins watching this DVD. Especially love the Newport Festival extra with Peter at piano, would love to see those songs in full. Also his daughter anxiously wiaiting to do her bit, saying aside to the camera 'he won't shut up, what am I supposed to do?' :-]

I can't wait for this to arrive. I'm so looking forward to seeing it! Have you watched it already NikkiG? Or will this be the first time for you too?
NikkiG 6 May 2010 at 5:53pm Posts: 110 (0 today) Status: offline
I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. It's meant to be a birthday present but i don't think i'll be able to wait the 2wks! (I had to order it myself to make sure i got the right DVD) I've watched a few clips on iplayer some months but can't wait to see the whole thing.
