Notes

Great quality video, and good audio considering it's from a camera mic. This video's a bit unusual. The tracks up to "Walking In My Shoes" are shot in the audience toward the front of the stage. "A Question Of Time" is mostly shots of the crowd, and "World In My Eyes" still has a lot of crowd shots but it has more footage of Dave singing. Starting with "Walking In My Shoes", the video appears to be shot from the mixing desk. I think the audio is camera audio throughout, since even when the camera is at the mixing desk area you can clearly hear audience screaming and cheering. There are cuts within and between songs; I don't think any single track is a complete recording, but "A Question Of Lust", "Home", and "Condemnation" are close to being complete. "In Your Room" is missing approximately the last minute of the song.

I bought this tape from a UK collector on eBay. He says it's a first-generation VHS copy originating from a Russian TV station's Betacam master.
