Notes:
Highly suggest you take a
look at the image from the DVD as that will clarify the overall video
quality of this recording. Extremely dark. But if you look closely, this is
not a VHS source that has been cloned numerous times, this is actually a
reltaviely low gen. Taking a conservative estimate, 2G or 3G. Another reason
why this is a low gen, I presume, is because of it's rarity. As of early
2005, take a look around, this video is not out there yet. It should be & it
will for the people that will respect it & enjoy it. I only verified the
date/location a few months ago. Very odd, the entire video image from the
recording moves from left > right as the VHS/DVD is playing. It seems that
there are 3 relatively likely explanations: 1) master is like this 2) bad
video>transfer dub or 3) something messed the tape. Normally I would assume
that a bad dub of the VHS tape sometime in the 1990's would be to blame but
I have received 2 different copies of this same recording source from 2
completely different traders over the span of 8 years... both copies were
messed up. So, other than that I do not have an explanation. As such, this
DVD is most likely for
severe video enthusiasts only.
There are a couple reasons why this would be a worthwhile addition to your
collection though. This is the last night of Tool's most important year of
their then 'new' career what with a wonderful stint on Lollapalooza &
successful European tours playing with bands like Green Apple Quickstep,
Rage Against the Machine, Fishbone & even opening for Morrissey... just
kidding on that last one. There are no other sources for this performance &
it is on video. This recording's audio quality is actually better than the
video quality. For a video & for a video that looks as poor as this does,
the audio is quite good thus my justification for putting this to CD as
well.
