Length - 1:20:23
Great picture and sound quality, though the
generation was only specified as vid(1)>?>
dvdr, it looks like it was probably a vhs
or svhs straight off of the live Pay-Per-
View broadcast. There's a faint watermark
Woodstock logo in the lower-right corner
throughout, and two or three times a promo
pops up for the Salt n' Peppa performance
with the NIN video kind of squishing to the
side for a few seconds while the promo is
up. Has one picture menu with song selection
and background music. The entire disc plays
fine up until one minute and thirty seconds
before the very end, during the last verse
of Head Like a Hole. At that point the audio
skips backward about a quarter of a second
and continues playing, but the video doesn't
skip back so they are out of sync for the
rest of the video. It's very noticable in a
couple of closeup shots right afterward,
then the rest of it is mostly far-shot stage
destruction and crowd shots, though the
audio also has a kind of thumping sound to
it from that point on, but the song only
continues for about thirty seconds. Other
than this, and inspite of it the disc is
excellent, the performance is great, with
Trent getting a bit nuts toward the end and
smashing some of the equipment with his mic
stand before they go into Head Like a Hole.
The disc was torrented like this, I don't
know if the error was in authoring or a disc
generation somewhere down the line.
There's a tape cut after Down In It and
before Dead Souls, someone commented that it
only cut out a brief speech by Trent. On the
disc it is just a split second of snowy
video before it switches to a new title
(which will probably pause most players for
a few seconds, though it's not during any
performance or video of the band).
