I was thinking of having a new video section on tubular.net, with probably at least 3 sub sections: MO himself, covers, MO music. Please post links (to YouTube etc.) in this thread, and I'll add them to the new section... Or if someone already has a MO playlist in their youtube profile, let me know... Thanks!

Update: better idea, it will work like the gallery, so I won't have much to do :) and we'll be able to comment on each video. Get ready to post...

Are there restrictions on the sort of videos you want, Olivier? There's all of "Exposed" and "Montreux" here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=whobearUK&p=r

The quality on YouTube is so bad that I think record companies don't mind and see it as ads for the DVDs. These clips might be interesting to the casual visitor, but probably not that much to us fans. If you have the patience, feel free to post them though (all in the same thread, one message per extract, I'd suggest).

PS: I can manually change the order of the videos in http://tubular.net/videos/

Thanks for the video section - caught up on a few of the "newer" clips (post Virgin).  Would be great to see a DVD of the clips but I guess Warner's don't care enough any more.

Okay Olivier, I've tried that but I'm afraid that all those videos on one page are resulting in horrendous lag. The options I can see are:

1. leave it as is - laggy and all
2. remove all but the initial post and let me add a text link for the rest of the playlist
3. remove the entire thread and forget I ever bothered you with this in the first place


(PS: When I visit the video gallery, I only see twelve items for both the 'live concert' and 'official videos' sections - the latest ones uploaded - and I believe they are supposed to contain more than that?)

Yes, I was wrong, better to have them in separate threads. So I deleted all but the first one. Sorry to have wasted your time...

(Fixed the bug that only displayed the fist page.)

Oh, it's no trouble on my part, Olivier. I just didn't want to be a pest. I actually kept a document with the URLs, so I'll probably finish the rest another time, if nobody else gets around to it before then.

I really like having these new forums. They make handy access to MO's video goodies.
