[two disc]
Length - 1:25:50
PRO-shot, this is the version with no VIVO logo and no
presenter during the Possibilities jam, and with a
"Nirvana Hollywood Rock 2 Parte" caption after Blew.
Missing from the complete show are the intro to Smells
Like Teen Spirit, and some in between song downtime has
been edited out. This seems like some sort of rough edit,
there are real sloppy cuts and lots of strange VHS
glitches throughout, all from the source tape though they
don't look like any familiar type of VHS flaws. The sound
is soundboard, but has a bad hiss, though it lowers a bit
during the second disc it is still loud enough to hear
through the songs.
The video generation is not known for sure, but
it is
thought to either be a first or second generation tape.
The video quality is pretty good, though for some reason
the far shots from across the stadium look horrendous,
but there aren't many of them and they are all quick.
The source tape was played in a JVC DH30000U VCR, fed
through the S-Video cable into a Canon ZR70MC MiniDV
camera for analog to digital conversion, then fed out
through firewire into the PC for capture.
