Platinum Record [Level 8]
I've looked in the old archives of this message board, but haven't come across a single thread that discusses all of the DVDs featuring dance/disco music performances from the late 70's to early 80's. They're fragmented into different threads about different DVDs.
Here are some DVDs that I've got or have seen that have promo films or disco performances:
Disco Inferno - Musikladen lip-synching
Village People - video compilation out of France. Even has an ultra rare 'San Francisco (You Got Me)' promo film with a different group of Village People!
Cerrone - Culture - 2 DVD set that includes a number of his 70's promo films including 'Love In C Minor'
Disky Label - I can't remember the exact names of the DVDs, but there's a whole series of video compilations under various themes. There's one for the 70's. And other another one for dance music. I don't remember which DVD had which, but I've seen the promo films for Tavares 'Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel' and 'When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman' by Dr Hook, as well as some live performance by A Taste of Honey of 'Boogie Oogie Oogie', which sadly cuts off at the 'listen to my bass now'.
Still Alive - Disco Of The 80's - I haven't got this, but I see in an old thread discussing it that it has peformances by Dee D Jackson 'Automatic Lover' and 'Sexy Eyes' by Dr Hook, to mention a few. It also contains later videos from the 80's and 90's.
Disco Inferno - CD/DVD set - apparently has promo films on the DVD. I'll add to this description when I get my copy.
I've seen some Boney M DVDs listed at some points in the past, but I don't know anything about them. Were they promo films? Or Musikladen performances?
Any other DVDs with old disco promo films or performances worth getting?

There is a LOT of stuff out there. You will just have to look around to find it. Most of it is not going to be on DVD either. DVD is still a relatively recent format (under 10 years) so you are going to have to track down some VHS and BETA. Perhaps even buy yourself one of those old film projectors. My parents have video footage of themselves back in the 1960's and 1970's on film (the kind you play on a projector and watch on the wall) and they have yet to convert it to VHS or DVD. I am sure there are thousands of people including celebrities who have yet to do so as well. There is a LOT stuff out there you will just have to find it. Perhaps type in a google search with various keywords and see what the results are. I found out about several out of print 1980's NBA basketball VHS videos by typing in google searches on the internet.
Most DVD'S are just compilations of old footage and are in no way complete. I know of one guy who trades original VHS and BETA videos of old television programs. Let me try to find a link to him.

Platinum Record [Level 8]
"Je te tiens, tu me tiens par la Barbichette"
from 1978 is available as a French region 2 dvd, starring Jean Yanne, Mimi Couturier, The Ritchie Family and The Village People. The Ritchies do 2 complete performances "La Barbichette" and "Forever Dancing" (delirium tremesis disco, tacky and totally wonderful) and The VPs do "Hot Cop".

Oh wow, I've never heard of that film! The only Village People's flick I've heard of was 'Can't Stop The Music', but that featured the VP after Victor Willis had left.Originally Written by JussiK
Was the movie audio music composed/produced by Jacques Morali, outside of the specific performances?

Platinum Record [Level 8]
The score is credited to Morali/Hurtt, though the credits don't specify who composed the traditional non-disco incidental music. None of that is included on the soundtrack. The 3 new tunes are the title track in both vocal and instrumental versions, "Forever Dancing" and "Boogie Lady", the latter sung (badly) by the star Mimi Couturier - whatever became of her? The film is a satire on French tv, with Love Boat-style romantic interludes, fantasy sequences involving Mimi as a Charlie's Angel type cop, and music numbers by the Ritchies and the VPs. The dvd is available thru Amazon France and has no subtitles in English. Get it.

Yes, I was checking out the price on Amazon.fr the other day. It's still pretty high. I think I'll wait a bit. Hopefully someone will sell a used copy for a lot lower.
