I'm partial to this great run at the Theater (AKA the Felt Forum) under MSG which I was lucky enough to attend. NYC shows always feel special, and to my mind this version of the band was clicking extremely well in early 1998, refining both TOOM material and older stuff with a smooth, dynamic approach. I'm a big fan of LC and DK's performances from this leg of the NET.

This Video is largely composed of very nice waist to chest up unobstructed and slightly obstructed views of BD with some very pleasant panning of the rest of the stage as well. slight obstructions to the right and bottom of the screen eliminate TG from some of the longer shots. the Video that is here is very close to complete. The last 4 tunes are not here. slightly washed out colors, very decent focus.

Very flat audio. All the DVDs from this run that I've seen ( #D194, #D195.2, #D196.2, #D052) deserve and would benefit from sound upgrading. Perhaps this one most of all. Of course i would be glad to supply the DVDs for this project anytime, as I lack the talent :-)

My copy has no menu, but seems to have proper chapter marks
