Notes

Decent soundboard audio of the first three tracks of the concert, which is typical for press footage. Some audio of the support act, Purity, as well as Tim Simenon DJing, is also present. The audio is mono and has a strange echo or reverb effect; to me it sounds like it's bleed-through from a regular microphone.

You can find the video this audio is sourced from at Source 2.

I bought this tape from a UK collector on eBay. He says it's a second-generation VHS copy originating from a Russian TV station's Betacam master. This particular TV station would reuse the original Betacam tape after making the news report, so the collector's TV contact made a Betacam copy for himself and later made this VHS copy for him, so this is a second generation tape.
