The Road to Fifty: A Tribute

Love you guys!

I had a VHS of what I believe was one of your first shows, or at least one of many MANY years ago. I saw if at a projection in Brazil in 1982, and when I got back to Italy I bought it. After all of these years and some "troubles" and many relocations, I don't have it anymore. It's about 5 years that I'm trying to find it to buy it back, POSSIBLY in the form of a digital video, as I don't own a VHS player anymore. But it seems impossible... Do you have any copy of that thing, or any idea where I could find it? It'd make a fantastic birthday present. 🙂 Always loved Pilobolus (and their "spin-off", MoMix), and I went to their shows here in Italy every time I could. ❤❤❤

Davide, we love Brazil and Italy. My first international tour with Pilobolus was Brasil in 1997, and Renée and I went to Italy many times. Actually, on one tour all over Italy, Emily, my brand new beautiful bride came with us. So, fun! Young and carefree touring the world and dancing! it is difficult to find old Pilobolus footage that has been digitized. If I knew what piece you were looking for we might be able to help you. Or maybe we can put part of it up here on youtube for you to enjoy. - Matt

@@Pilobolus I'm so sorry, I don't remember the title of it, assumed it HAD one other than "Pilobolus". I remember the beginning showed the entrance of the theatre (could it be in Boulder, Colorado?), and most of the footage was on a very simple scene, with the dancers wearing sort of a silky full-body "suit". I remember one of the pieces started with Moses Pendleton standing on one leg and doing stuff with the OTHER leg that make my abs cry in pain just for remembering it 😁, and at a point a weird creature "made of" the other dancers comes in and, I think, inglobate him. It's many years I don't watch it... I had my last VHS player maybe15 or 20 years ago, and my memory isn't what it used to be. 🤦🏼‍♂🤦🏼‍♂ Anyway... If you could put some of that old stuff (I believe the VHS had been released in the late 70s, or at the latest in 1981: as I said, I saw it in 1982, and if I remember correctly it was February or March...) on the channel I'd be grateful forever. ❤ Thank you a lot.
