Tripod-mounted video camera and VHS deck at the soundboard > 2nd gen. SuperBeta Hi-Fi copy.

This came out much better than I thought it would and I'm probably being over-critical in the following comments. I should just add that the camera is zoomed out much more than in, so the auto focus problems are not too noticeable unless you watch carefully...
-----------------------------------
Unfortunately, the camera suffered from poor low light performance, making zooms somewhat problematic as the camera struggled to auto-focus. Not the world's best soundboard mix either but still very listenable. It's a bit overdriven in the first song, sounds like the master VHS video tape used auto levels, and the mix tends to be heavy on the drums, bass and keyboards but I still enjoy the watching/listening experience and hope that you will too. Please check the samples to get an idea of the audio and video quality.
