Transfers Notes: The transfers are of similar picture and audio quality. Transfers 1 and 2 are mislabelled as VHS(1). Transfer 2 has been re-authored by Allen Deane with different menus, but is the same transfer (menu shown as last cap).

Set:

Review: Shot from the left right next to the band. The taper is 2nd or 3rd row from the front, there is no stage. There are excellent close ups of all band members, there are however more obstructions during the second half of the show and the taper is often forced to hold the camera above his/her head. The picture is clear throughout, the audio though is sometimes distorted and the vocals are very low in the mix for the entire show.

Inferior Transfers: VHS(1)>D8(1)>DVDR, Barry Lajnwand "Bitter Barry". Also is actually VHS(2)
For identification purposes here is a screencap of the menu from the inferior transfer:
