2.0 out of 5 stars Only a 23 minute promo video...., August 7, 2009

Buyer beware, this is only a 23 minute promotional video for a festival that took place 4 years ago.

$15.99 is pretty darn costly for such a short video.

Gothicfest is basically (1) full length SLICK IDIOT performance and (1) full length HANZEL UND GRETYL performance... with a few brief interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.

Since my name is plastered all over this release, I feel that I have the right to let my feelings known.

I believe the majority of this footage has been on YouTube (for free) since 2006. So please do not blame me if you feel "ripped-off".

5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome DVD, August 29, 2009

I thought the production quality was quite good. This was an amazing event and I'm really happy to see this DVD come out. The event alone was very historic and received a five page feature in Spin Magazine. The interviews are done very well and the 5.1 suround sound live performances came out good. This is for sure a specialty item and for some it will be cherished and for others it will of course be mocked. I am personally very proud of this DVD and for the fans that have purchased this DVD the response has been quite good. I guess you can only judge this for yourself. Good Luck.

This review is from: Gothicfest 2005 (DVD)

I'm surprised it's just now coming out. I'm Justin Bailey, the (now former) keyboardist from Grigori 3 in this. This dvd was scheduled to be released around January of 2006. Rather excited to see how it comes out. I just ordered mine...

It was a great festival and the bands all put on a great performance. Like I said, I'm rather excited to see how this turns out.

Funny that they put Ray Wise and Gwen Bartolini as the stars, as they're both in the same band as I was, yet oddly they're suddenly the stars. Too funny.

Anyways, check it out, give it some stars, and enjoy.
