Notes

A decent soundboard recording of the first three tracks of the concert, which is typical for press footage. It includes snippets from Purity's performance, who was the support act, as well as Tim Simenon's DJ set.

This source was extracted from a good pro-shot video recording; the audio itself is in mono and has a strange echo effect, likely caused by a bleed-through from a standard microphone.

The source video for this audio can be found at Source 2.

I acquired this tape from a UK collector on eBay. He mentioned that it's a second-generation VHS copy, originating from a Russian TV station's Betacam master. This TV station often reused the original Betacam tapes after making news reports. However, the collector's contact at the station made a Betacam copy for personal use before reusing the original, and later created this VHS copy. Thus, this is a second-generation tape.
