Just found a video of Vince DiCola at the BOTCON 1997.
The show starts with the beginning of the movie, "unicron\'s Theme".

Followed by "Attack on the Shuttle".

and with Stan Bush performing "Love Don\'t Lie"

The quality of this video is quit good.
Plus another video of that same Convention in 1997. But this time Vince\'s special version of "The Death of Optimus Prime".

Plus another video of Vince Performing "Training Montage". This video shows Vince introducing his fellow musicians to the public.

Finally I\'m seeing Vince play live. Well... Live it sadly ain\'t, gosh I wish I could\'ve been there.
And here\'s one of the most popular ones of that Convention.

And the one Vince wrote to get the producers of the Transformers movie to hire him to write the score.

But Vince explains it himself... in a very very funny way.
thanks for those links!
yeah, I remember a VHS of this performance was sold at the Botcon site ages ago.
thank god I managed to pick up the full TRANSFORMERS (2 Disc) score.

You\'ve got the 2 disc score?? Where did you find that? That\'s one of the CD\'s of Vince that I\'m still missing from my collection.
A friend picked it up for me at BotCon 1998.

Thanks for the link. It was awesome!!!! It\'s only too bad that I couldn\'t have been there when THAT was going on. To have both Stan Bush AND Vince DiCola there and to have seen them LIVE would\'ve been a rare treat indeed!
Likewise Butlerd. I\'m now in a tight schedual to organize with some fellow Transformer fans our own Transformers convention here in the Netherlands. Sadly though, with economics at an all time low and our budget being very small, we can\'t ask Vince to come over. But someday I hope it might work. Vince is for me the best.

God, I am SOOOO jealous!!!! I wish that I had still been into Transformers around that time and I might\'ve been able to score a copy. I\'ve been craving a copy of the full instrumental score since the movie was re-released in 2000!!! When they re-released the soundtrack back in 2007 I was elated to learn that Sony remastered and released some additional pieces from the score (Moon Base Shuttle Launch, Megatron Must Be Stopped, Unicron Medley, Transformers Theme-Alternate w/Stan Bush) but disappointed that it still wasn\'t the complete score. Maybe someday.............????
Well... Vince often post\'s messages here too, so why not ask him. I mean I would love to have the origional CD\'s too. There\'s nothing better then the origional thing right?
I actually did (privately) ask him once before about a year ago (I think) and he hinted that he may eventually re-release the rest of the score at some point but wasn\'t definitive about it. I think that part of the issue is him trying to get the rights back to the music from somebody (3H Enterprises? Sony?). It\'s kind of weird for musicians to have to fight to get back the rights to music THEY themselves composed?
This year, with a new TF movie being released would, of course, be the perfect time to get other TF material out but I\'m sure he\'s got a bazillion other (more current) projects ongoing.
I\'d LOVE to get a copy of either "Til All Are One" or "Lighting Their Darkest Hour" but haven\'t had much luck finding a copy. If anybody here knows where I can pick up a copy, PLEASE let me know!!!!
I myself am starting to become a musician and I\'ve learned that, although you are the writer, composer of the music you\'ve made... it\'s the record company that buy\'s the music. Therefor I think that at that moment the music is being owned by the record company.
Yes... I agree that it\'s kinda weird that something that is your creation isn\'t yours anymore after it\'s being produced by a record company. But some artists have made their own label and some of them have become very succesfull with it.
Vince has also written to me that he might release some never before released music on CD. To me... that sounded like music to my ears... I hope it will work out though. IN this case it would possibly mean that there might be two recordings coming out hopefully this year. The first this release of never before released Transformers Material and the second being the progressive recording vince Mentioned about some time ago. I believe he mentioned that it would be a sequel to the previous record "Found Objects" from DPI. (Dicola, Perry & Ill)
If they would ever perform live... that I would like to introduce them like on that one Live ELP record.
"Ladies and Gentlemen... Dicola... Perry, and Ill.
