| Notes |
| Recorded at the Live Radio City Music Hall, NYC, NY, USA. Great audience recording. This is a release from the infamous NYC Bitch Committee, complete with Cheech and Chong footage. From the info file: Liberated commercial bootleg! This is very nice. I do have a few nits to pick - it's a bit SW-centric, especially in the acoustic set (when Wes is singing harmonies you would think they could have zoomed out to show him), and there are other places where I would have focused in on other members of the band a bit more - but that's a complaint I always have with concert videos, including the official commercial ones - they tend to focus on the 'star' more than I would. The quality is quite acceptable - a bit grainy on the wide shots, but hey, this is a bootleg. The closeups are clear. The colors are very nice. And when it gets into the electric sets there are enough of the wide shots to show the films and light show (though again I would have probably done that a bit more). Sound is good. This probably rates a good A- (and when you realize just how 'stealth' it had to be, it's really amazing it's done so well). I think the PT fans as a whole will be delighted.
