Here are reviews of all the Skinny Puppy video tapes of live concerts and other stuff that I own. I want to make it clear right here that I cannot trade videos. I only own one VCR, and its a terrible inconvenience to dub tapes at other peoples' houses. I will, of course, trade audio tapes FOR video tapes.
The setlists from these shows can be found on the audio tape pages. They apply. :)

Miami, FL - Cameo Theater 06/18/92
Audience Recorded
Audio Quality: B
Video Quality: B+
Length: 90

This is a pretty nice one. It's a great show, The picture is clear and colorful, though a bit dark at times. The camera is right up front with the stage, so no heads get in the way. The camera is mostly on Ogre, and sometimes on the video screens or Cevin (er... well, Cevin's drumset). A good mix, too.

Chicago, IL - Cabaret Metro 10/20/88
Professional Recording
Audio Quality: A-
Video Quality: A-
Length: 55

This is a great bootleg! Rumor has it that this video was meant to be a sequel to "Ain't It Dead Yet?", but... well, it didn't happen. It's a sound board recording, with multiple cameras and occasional video effects and video clips thrown in. However, it is very dark at some points, and sometimes the camera is kind of distant from the stage. The camera is on Ogre 99% of the time, but that's OK, it's a good show! :)

New York City, NY - The Kitchen 07/14/87
Audience Recorded
Audio Quality: A
Video Quality: A-
Length: 65

This one is really good! The audio is wonderful, the camera is right up front at the middle of the stage, so the mix is perfect! A really cool show, though the stage set-up seems really small... maybe its just the way it was shot. Anyhow, the camera is mainly on Ogre, but most of the time you can see Cevin and Dwayne in the background. Good lighting.

Toronto, Canada - Club Holiday 1985 [aka "Holiday Inn 1984"]
Audience Recorded
Audio Quality: B+
Video Quality: D-
Length: 45 [incomplete show]

Um... well, the audio's pretty good anyhow... Yes, this is a relatively infamous video. Very strange. Its a very smokey SP show, and I mean VERY smokey, because that's basically all you can see: smoke and blurry lights! Occasionally Ogre will materialize from the fog, it looks like he has an afro! :) Anyhow, most of the time the video is just some footage of some guy walking around on the street in a halloween mask, put through lots of cheezy video FX. Also, during the show footage, the camera will occasionally start to just sort of turn, going nearly upside-down at some points. I have no idea what was going on at this show... this is only worth having for the audio... and a really amusing improv/story told by Ogre. "I once met a man...
