Broadcast on MTV2 for JA's "5th Birthday Party",
and filler from the show Later. The first show is
from a PAL vhs tape straight from the tv, I'm not
sure if the dvd itself is PAL or NTSC though. The
second show didn't have any other generation
stated so it may be the same as the first, but it
looks much too clear to be VHS. I'd guess it's a
capture straight from the tv to dvd, but possibly
to a standalone and re-encoded because there's a
lot of artifacting. The sound on the first show
has a bit of a vhs buzz to it, the sound of the
second show is almost flawless, both are pro-shot
and overall are very good looking. There are two
spots in the ninth track of the first show (The
Riches) where the video blacks out and audio
stops for a split second, these were from the
broadcast or original tape and are not a flaw of
the dvd. Also in a speech just before track 10
of the first show, there are several long drop
outs in the sound during Perry's speech, this is
very badly done censoring by MTV and is from the
broadcast.
The second show is sort of hidden, you have to
go through a series of one way menus with some
optical illusions (about three or four) to go
to it, the first show has a normal menu with
song selection.
