DISTANCE/POSITION: 5
AUDIO: 9
STEADINESS: 7
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS: 9

AVERAGE QUALITY = 7.0 (excludes Distance/Position) (The average quality rating of 7.0/10 is inflated due to the fine audio and above average steadiness and obstruction ratings. At best, this is a below average item.)
VIDEO SOURCE:
Hi8 tape probably sourced from a 1st generation tape.
Songs 8-15 missing; song 5 no useable footage
AUDIO SOURCE:
LB-7528 (trade CDs)
DISTANCE/POSITION:
Center balcony
10 degrees left of center
Limited zoom & panning.
AUDIO:
Excellent; vocals upfront; good bass; no distortion, clipping, or echo.
STEADINESS:
Camera mostly steady.
HEADS/OBSTRUCTIONS:
Heads not a problem. Filmer lowered or raised camera between songs.
FOCUS/COLOR/LIGHT/RESOLUTION:
Color is fair, but focus is poor.
PERFORMANCE/HIGHLIGHTS/SPECIAL MOMENTS:
Folks who attended this show and completists will probably appreciate it. The excellent sound source makes it enjoyable to listen to. Distance and poor lighting conspired to make this a tough watch, however.
EDITING:
Only the first seven songs were filmed. Disk author kept stills to a minimum.
