Audience shot from far back around the middle of
the venue. The picture quality is very good
considering the distance, audio quality is also
good. The camerawork is a bit shakey at first
but settles down later into the show.
It looks like the taper got a bit triggerhappy
with the effects buttons from time to time, most
annoyingly with a pixelating effect. These are
not transfer or burn errors, the picture becomes
completely pixelated for a second or two several
times, and there are some color effects as well.
The effects are in a very small portion of the
video, alltogether they probably add up to less
than a minute of footage out of two hours, but
when they come in they are pretty jarring.
Menus are minimal but nice looking, with song
selection and source info.
