Length - 1:47:31

Shot from a far balcony toward the middle of
the audience. Though the transfer seems to be
fine and the picture is good, the distance is
so far that the video is constantly blurred
and lacking in any real detail. Large shapes,
such as the backdrop of the stage and the
projection screen that plays video clips are
clearly visible, while anything smaller like
the band are pretty much just barely visible.
The video is slightly letterboxed, with black
bars at the top and bottom of the screen, but
is not 16x9 enhanced. The camerawork is VERY
shakey at first but settles down later. The
sound is mixed from two sources and is very
good quality. The setlist listed is slightly
messed up, all of those songs should be
present but some of them lead into eachother
and are on the same track, so the DVD is only
14 tracks total, I will update that eventually.
There are about two very short but harsh skips
during the solo in Schism, I don't know if this
is a taping error or just my copy.
