Just watched a Goblin - Live In Texas blu-ray of a 2014 concert. This is only available from the official Goblin site. Am sad to report that it is a BD-R, rather disappointing considering just how pricey it was (cost 31 pounds including shipping).

The blu-ray has made an unfortunate decision to edit in video clips from films - which I'm not a fan of. I prefer film clips appearing via live backdrops only and to see the band as is. Plus weirdly, it plays numerous Phenomena clips during a song from studio album Roller!

Highlights of Texas are E Suono Rock and almost jazzy renditions of Non Ho Sonno and Zombi. To be honest would only recommend to hardcore fans only. On the other hand, I would thoroughly recommend the Italian Goblin Rebirth dvd to everyone.

The Goblin Rebirth dvd was also released only last year despite featuring a 2011 gig. Highlights are Death Dies, La Chiesa, Goblin and L'Alba dei Morti Viventi. Despite only featuring 2 original Goblin members (Pignatelli and Marangolo), it is an excellent concert.

The Rebirth band is accompanied by a video screen showing clips from films (Martin is shown during Roller tracks as that studio album was used in the Italian version of the Romero film).

I also own a Simonetti's Daemonia - live in Los Angeles dvd which is fairly decent but not amazing. That is also surpassed by the Goblin Rebirth dvd. Links for ordering the best gig of the three I've mentioned (in case anyone is interested):
