So, Mr. Devin and crew, can we, humble fans, expect a DVD release, or something close, from your mindblowing Ziltoid show at Tuska?
Any hint would be very much appreciated
THANK YOU ALL!

I've been really hoping we get a DVD of it too, seeing as I couldn't make it over to Finland for Tuska. It would be great to see a double disc version or something with the Saturday set on disc 2.

Unless there is mixed wires some where, Devin wrote this as a reply to someone on twitter

I Keep reading over and over, praying and hoping...but it seems to be a clear sign...

"I'm recording the Tuska festival for release, you'll hear (and see!) a new version of Ziltoid!" ...right?

From an interview in February:

"MO: Speaking of the Ziltoid musical, is that going to be filmed for DVD?

DT: Oh yeah, yeah. A lot of my work recently has been setting up our on-stage monitoring system as a way to record every show. The first experiment I did with that was obviously the tour I just did, with the show I’m mixing in my studio now from New York, and it’s turned out fabulously well. So my intention is to record every show."

So all signs point to yes.

That's audio though, not video.

I think they had several cameras at Tuska though, in the youtube videos I could see some closeups of Dev and such so I reckon there's decent footage available as well. Mix their footage with Dev's recordings (and the videos he prepared specifically for this show), throw some engineers at it, ??????, and PROFIT!

There were at least two video cameras recording and of course all the Ziltoid footage Devy did himself so he had all that already. I was under the impression that only a few days after the Ziltoid gig was announced that Devin mentioned it quietly that he was recording the performance for some kind of special release. Maybe it will be a bundle with Z2 or maybe part of the boxset of Devin Townsend Project along with the New York performance?

No one is really sure right now.

There was 2 cameras on each side of the stage. And before the show they placed i think 3 or 4 small cameras that looked like webcameras on the stage that pointed towards the band.
Hopefully..

Well, hope is kindled, as old Gandalf said.

And devmeister said this in twitter half an hour ago : Almost finished the mix of day 2 from Tuska, will be releasing in several ways along with collected stuff from the other tours very soon.

So i think it's a giveth that we get a little somethingsomething

That is so freaking awesome to hear!!!

This news made another nice day in my life!

Obviously it made my day as well. No, my week, no wait, my year!!!

Yeah baby!
ZILTOID SHALL LIVE IN AUDIOVISUAL FORMAT!

Yess! Can't wait. I was pretty shattered at not being able to attend Tuska, so hopefully this makes up for it somehow.
