Transfer Notes: Transfer 1 has slightly better picture quality, while Transfer 3 has stereo audio that is from a separate source (the others have mono). "Aneurysm" on Transfer 3 is from a different 1st generation video which is inferior to the other video used, the last cap is taken from the former. Transfer 3 also includes audio of the missing song, "Drain You".

Set:

The opening song, "Drain You" is missing, only the 1st few chords of "Rape Me" are cut.

Review: This is an excellent pro-shot which has great shots of all members. The picture is very dark at times though. The picture quality is very good but does appear a little grainy during some shots. The audio is soundboard and of very good quality.
