This comes from a vhs tape purchased from Second Coming in Cambridge, MA about 15 years ago, of an unknown generation. TDK tape went from 4-head Insignia VCR (cheapest and best VCR I've ever owned) onto Sony DVD-R with Sony RDR-GX257 standalone dvd recorder, in SP (two hour) mode. The dvd-r has chapter marks every ten minutes, and a generic non-menu. The DVD-R was ripped by copying files from the dvdr into a folder (no DVD Decrypter, just a simple highlight and copy).

The picture quality for the Peoria show gets an A-, maybe B+. I believe it's shot from a tripod, or stabilized on something. It's a little shakey in the beginning, and it sorts itself out quickly. The audio gets an unfortunate C. The show itself was obviously causing distortion in the camera mics, so it's loud, and over-modulated. It's not the worst example I've ever heard, but I wish it were better. It's still not awful to listen to, and sounds better than, for example, any '80's Misfits videos. It's enjoyable. The set itself is awesome, as you can see by the setlist.

The picture for the MTV portion gets an A-, and the audio gets an A. There is a brief period during the beginning of "Forsythia" where a touch of quiet buzzing from tracking issues are present, but it's only for about five seconds, and doesn't affect the picture. The two songs are introduced by two members of the Goo Goo Dolls, for whatever that's worth. This version of "Forsythia" is possibly my favorite live one.
