I ordered two of these DVDs and am glad I did, because one doesn't play at all...

this right here is a very amazing DVD. if you dont have a good sound system on your TV, watch it on your computer with the speakers cranked. the live show is very awesome and the videos are fun as well. another fun thing is the interviews with the then "vampires". however, you must have to push on Jussi to hear all of them talk. if you dont, you will miss Jussi speaking, which has the lowest voice of them all. the reason why i wrote the title to this is because this was their last awesome cd as well as last awesome tour. when they "crept" to America, everything changed. get this DVD to experience what true "goth n' roll" was like and you wont be disappointed. do not, get the cd/dvd for the combo of Angels/Devils, its a waste. if you do decide to get it, you will understand what im saying.

i was very happy with this dvd, i first ordered it through netflix and decided it was worth buying so of course came to amazon for a great deal, no more than $6 i paid for it all up.

excellent music, great voices, i really enjoyed all of it so much id watch it over and over again.

dont buy this DVD! the pressing is defective and doesn't play on 95% of dvd players. Amazon also told me: ''We are sorry that your replacement shipments were also problematic. As it seems that the problem with this item is more widespread than we originally thought, we are not able to send another replacement. We will investigate and remedy the situation with the item. We will gladly refund you in full for the return of this item.''

i don't know how the other reviewer could claim they have this DVD when none of them play correctly. there is a European version that's been released for about 3 years already, so maybe that's what the other reviewer was recalling... but THIS U.S. VERSION IS DEFECTIVE!

*****UPDATE*****
the company that manufactured this DVD has sent out replacements, and the word on the 'street' is that the PLAYBACK problem has been fixed 100% and they all work on all DVD players... but, the ANAMORPHIC SQUEEZE problem is still there.

I just received the dvd today and please don't listen to the trollers saying it doesn't work, the dvd works perfectly has great audio and the videos are really great as well for awhile i was hesitant cause of all the fake reviews on this so i decided to finally buy and i am glad i did. this review is 100% real and you won't be disappointed.

I don't get why so many reviews are up in a knot over things that cn be fixed... I was fortunate in having a PERFECT copy...in the STATES...so IDK why everyones whining... I understand when disappointed, however when ppl say they'll help fix it however they can....... that's fine with me!

*****Live @ TAVASTIA has concert of 17 songs concert will blow you away if you've never seen them in concert & if you have seen them live can relive over & over again when they aren't playing or snow has you buried lol. Such an excellent concert!! - BONUS FEATURES are beyond what anyone does for bonus features 8 (yes EIGHT) music videos - PLUS an EXTRA ONE NEVER PUT ON TV (a skeleton in their coffin hahahaaa!) *** AND--- "Beyond The Dawn, this is so killer! snow and red wine, Goths on the Kick Sled (which are a blast to use!) Ghost of the Lizard King @ the Hietaniemi Cemetery With VILLE VALO hanging w/them!) and much more --*** AND---FROM RUSSIA WITH GOTH -The 69 eyes in Russia ~ classic! --** AND ---THE 69 EYES OVER GERMANY - amazing collection of photos by Tobias Seetliger -- *** AND -- INTERVIEWS WITH THE VAMPIRES - each individually & JYRKI teaches how to say his name ;) -- *** AND--DISCOGRAPHY 1990-2003 - The last nails in the coffin .. The bonus Features are epic & simply give incredible amounts to us when the concert itself @ The infamous Tavastia Club in Helsinki Finland. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS DVD--- SERIOUSLY!!!!!!! ********* IT'S THE BEST!

Still, I'm happy that mine is fine.. the ONLY problem is with ONE bonus feature where I have to start with Jussi or else I don't heard/see him speak... but who knows???? They are jokesters and could have started it on Jussi on purpose! :D I'd not be surprised lol...

PLEASEEEEE do NOT let these seemingly copycat comments stop you from having the DVD of the decade. They are FULL of energy and power... Helsinki Vampires are the way to escape for a bit & put yourself into another relm. ENJOY!

I ordered this DVD for a friend who is a fan of the 69 eyes. The day after I handed her the DVD she called me (august 2011) and told me that the DVD does not work in either of her 2 DVD players. She gave it back to me and I tried it in my Laptop where it also does not work. Reading the reviews after the fact this seems to be a problem that has been occoring since the DVD was released in 2006.
I contacted Amazon about the problem by e-mail and received a very fast response and refund.
A note to Amazon to maybe not sell the obviously defective item any more.

KarinaThe 69 Eyes: Helsinki Vampires

one of the greatest goht bands in the world, brilliant music....hd image....excellent audio BUT OUT OF SYNC!!!!!!! what a shame!!!!

'Helsinki Vampires' DVD includes a stunning live performance from 69 Eyes recorded live at the Tavastia, Finland in November 2002. This DVD also includes all the produced 69 Eyes video tracks (pre. "Devils" album) plus extra material. The short clip where Jyrki69 explains how to pronounce his name is my favourite bonus feature.
The 69 Eyes is the greatest Goth/Rock band of our time, and this DVD will rock your socks off! If you are new to tunes from The 69 Eyes, then this DVD is a great introduction to the dark and rocking world of the Helsinki vampires.
This DVD is one of the best music DVD's I've ever seen, and believe me I have seen many, but I hardly ever remove the Helsinki Vampires DVD from my player (YES, it's that good!!!!)
