Notes

Great quality video, and despite being recorded using a camera microphone, the audio is quite good. This video is quite unusual, as the footage up until Walking In My Shoes captures the audience from the front of the stage. A Question Of Time predominantly features crowd shots, while World In My Eyes also includes footage of Dave singing, though it still incorporates several crowd shots. Starting with Walking In My Shoes, the video appears to be taken from near the mixing desk area.

Throughout the video, the audio seems to be derived from the camera itself, as even when the camera is positioned near the mixing desk, the enthusiastic screams of the audience remain audible. There are cuts within and between songs, suggesting that no single track is a complete recording. However, it's worth noting that A Question Of Lust, Home, and Condemnation come 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.
