What do all you my fellow Bloodstock devotees think to the idea of Ye Olde Bloodstock DVD? i reckon twould be a wise investment on behalf of Vince and Co. Id but me a copy? Any chance that if there was a strong pre-ordering that it would be possible? Go on, Vince, you know it makes sense! With such a good lineup it would sell worldwide... and would definately enhance the already shining name that Bloodstock doth posess!
Bloodstock DVD? Yey Or Ney?

Yeah, it would be great for us to re-live some of those moments!! Good idea mate.
I'd buy one...
(I suppose you need a few more votes yet eh Vince!!

)I think it's a good idea but probably requires an uberinvestment on the part of vince + co buying rights to record each band etc. and then they will all have to get a share... it might not be profitable for a festival this size, most compilations are made by labels to reduce costs :-( though it would boost publicity and might even make a small profit. Who knows? but I can't see it happening.
I would definately buy one though.

i dont see why it wouldnt happen if pre-orderings were strong, DVD making is cheaper than you think and with the fact that you can sell them for 18ish quid profit margins are rather large... but yes i can see recording rights being a beehatch to get... but hey this is metal! our fellow brothers should pose us no problem in our quest for mettalic DVD's!
Cool idea, but can definitely see that huge investment needed to start it. However, bands might want to include their performances on their own dvd's so rights etc could be negotiated?? I would buy one, definite! 
To be fair the only cost that is that major is really the camera work and the filming itself, cos you need professional quality stuff... Maybe a CD is the way to go for now? and then develop it into a DVD when the festival has established itself a bit more...

Are bootlegs frowned upon?
Providing they aren't sold...

Well i'd buy a dvd or cd or whatever!
Obviously dvd would be better if it was feasible.It would have to have me on at some point being mad though..........hmm ok maybe that wouldn't be so good! haha

..........hmm ok maybe that wouldn't be so good! hahaMaking bootlegs isn't illegal I don't think, it's just illegal to sell and trade them so that gives security the rights to take recording equipment away, at least that's what I think.
Often the resulting quality of a bootleg isn't worth the trouble in the first place, as you often have to hide the equipment, making it muffled, then it's closer to the crowd noise more than anything else so it's always a little off. Plus you can't go wild when you're constantly checking your tape recorder to make sure it's still attached and functioning!

Seeing as most of the bands are on diferent labels and stuff it would be difficult to produce for legal reasons.
Gppd idea though.

yeah - DVD manufacturing and authoring isn't as expensive as you might think. Granted the filming might be, but a couple of Sony DP170 cameras (as used by the BBC for some broadcast material) hired for the day for the live stuff, a decent editing package like Vegas/Premiere and you're away to a good start.
I agree about negotiating for the bigger bands to get songs might be difficult/costly, but certainly the smaller/unsigned bands could contribute/donate a live song (take the sound from the desk) and you're away.
The other point is that a lot of bands (MR included) are making promo videos nowadays, and a bit like the 'Bloodstock on the Road' franchise, where it's tours for bands who have played Bloodstock, I'm sure that a DVD along the same lines would go down well. Bands involved with Bloodstock past and present could either donate a live song or a promo vid. Great exposure for us lot, plus a great souvenir for people who go to the festival.

Illuminatus
Mercury Rain (ahem...)
All have videos out or coming out soon, and I'm sure that other bands have footage.
Doesn't have to to be Dolby DTS and all that stuff, but more 'quick and dirty' would surely be acceptable to most people... if priced accordingly... £12.99 maybe ????

Sorry to hear that mate - I expect you're on the cutting room floor... LOL !!
Yep - add CH to the list then. There's five bands for the DVD without thinking about it too much.
Actually, I'd rather support bands who may not get any airplay on Scuzz or Kerrang! The only way we get to see any underground stuff is to download it, and then you don't exactly get the full impact.
