Length - 1:08:26

This is a two camera mix, the editing of the two
tapes was done on VHS and came out ok for the
most part. Most of the transitions between the
two cameras are just fades, but there are some
annoying video effects from time to time. There
is a frame dropping effect that makes the video
look a bit choppy, and there's some color effect
every once in a while that takes out all the
detail and turns the colors into big splotchy
areas. These (to me) are annoying when they
appear, but it is only a few times and not for
very long. There are some minor tracking and
generation flaws from time to time that cause a
split second buzz in the audio, they were all
unavoidable. Toward the end of the tape the
audio becomes low and muffled for the beginning
of the last song, then goes back to normal.
Video quality is decent, both cameras are far
shot so it's pretty blurred and undetailed when
zoomed in. The show starts during the day and
continues through sundown into nighttime, it
looks a bit clearer at night but there's not
a lot of stage lights so the picture is pretty
dark overall. Since it's a second gen of a two
camera mix, the source tape should be
vhs(m)+vhs(m)>vhs mix>vhs copy used
The person who had the first mix copy doesn't
trade anymore apparently, I don't know if there
are others but the only copies I've seen listed
are 3rd+ and unknown gens.

Thanks to Mark Lehneman for the source tape.

The DVD has basic menus with source and capture
info and song selection.
