Good news to report on the DVD front. Despite the fact that the DVD compilation contained within aMOTION will not feature a full-on live performance as originally believed, the footage filmed on A Perfect Circle's recent tour is now expected to eventually see the light of day. aperfectcircle.net reports that the band does intend to put together a performance DVD which will contain not only footage from the Thirteenth Step tour, but from the tour in support of Mer De Noms as well. Don't expect this anytime soon, however, as all focus during the foreseable future will be on eMOTIVe and aMOTION.
