Review: This was shot from both sides of the stage, about half from the right and half from the left. The DVD starts with Kurt in a wheelchair backstage joking around just before going on stage. There are excellent shots of Kurt and Krist as the taper is often a few metres away from them. The taper does record from next to Dave for a short period and gets some great shots of him too. The picture is of good quality but is a little dull and uncolourful, there is also a timebar throughtout the video. The video audio is extremely overdriven and distorted for a major portion of the show. The portion shot from the left of the stage has slightly better audio quality.
