Notes

Good quality video, and unfortunately flawed audio resulting from a dodgy tape copy. There's some sort of strange phasing effect going on and the sound kind of "jumps" between channels. There are also some small audio dropouts, but they are very infrequent. The video is good enough quality, but obviously a transfer from an original Mute VHS would yield superior picture and audio quality.

This tape contains what seems to be two takes each of Dream On and I Feel Loved, and then there are four different camera angles of each afterwards. These are clearly playback performances, but with live vocals.

I almost won an original Mute VHS on eBay, but was outbid and lost by $0.50 because I'm an idiot and didn't set a slightly higher maximum bid. If you own an original Mute VHS, please consider lending it to me so I can provide a superb transfer. I'll be happy to cover the cost of shipping both ways!
