Pillar Entertainment Features G3`s Concert DVD `Live in Tokyo`

Pillar Entertainment, on October 25th, 2005, will release the digital cinema world premier of G3`s `Live In Tokyo` concert DVD. Famous guitar players Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and John Petrucci make up the G3 band. On May 8th, these energy-charged live performances were recorded at the Tokyo Forum, where Satriani brought his famous G3 tour to Japan to sold-out performances.

These theatrical screenings provide G3`s record label, Epic Records, with a `release event` for the concert DVD, which will arrive in retail stores the same day as the theatrical event. Epic Records, the theatre circuits, and Pillar Entertainment have coordinated on-site sales of the G3 DVD. The content will be presented in theatres in high definition and employ Dolby 5.1 Digital Surround Sound to enhance the audience experience.

The Pillar presentation of `G3 Live In Tokyo` is slated for theatres in 9 cities across the country including 2 locations in New York (Brooklyn and Long Island), Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Washington DC, Detroit, Seattle, and San Diego. This Pillar presentation is to be delivered via the Access Integrated Technologies digital content delivery system, which will also provide back office management services.

`We are delighted to work directly with Epic Records and our theatre partners to deliver the G3 concert and create an Event for the DVD`s release,` said Michael J. St. Clair, Pillar`s President. `With the technically proficient nature of these guitarists, it makes perfect sense to have their material presented in cinema grade high definition with a 5.1 theatrical mix created especially for this event.`
