Some nice Moogfest 2007 video coverage

I don’t know if anyone is aware of this bunch of videos from Electronic Musician website, but these 3 clips are quite interesting.
They cover interviews with the musicians, gear-talk and some performances of Neil Alexander and Nail, Herb Deutsch, Erik Norlander, Jordan Rudess, and Thomas Dolby.
I’ve recently purchased in HMV the Moogfest 2006 DVD which made me happy as I had to miss that concert (being in the UK with work duties). I thought that that specific concert should have been particularly good as some of my ex-heroes were playing there (Keith Emerson and Jan Hammer) and some others I wouldn’t mind watching (Jordan Rudess).
In reality it seems like it was a loooong evening with some very lame performances from the Cure's incompetent Roger O'Donnell and surprisingly from Bernie Worrell who played a single 15 mins track that contained no music (and was played on a Kurzweil not Moog!).
There’s some good bits as well though- mainly Jan Hammer and Rudess.
For £10 it was okay. For £750 (inc. flight tickets and accommodation..) It could have pissed me off a bit…
