Video: Not all songs has 2 cam mix. Cheesy original Hi8 effects and freezed sections all along the video were edited and/or cut out/filled with slow motion effects.
Most of the out of focus sections were patched with videos from other parts of the show or with slow motion effects, to keep the stage in focus during the whole show.
Unfortunely, the video mix was not properly synchronized, so work was done to fix this.
Audio: DAT source was edited to reduce screamers and loud applauses. At the same time, some equalization was done to try to improve the audio. Very nice result.
Original 8mm audio was equalized and edited to create a matrix with DAT source. This mix sounds more ¨ambiental¨, while the DAT source on its own sounds more dry.
Both audio sources has been affected by the bad weather during the show, so the sound is not consistent all along. But, overall, is a very enjoyable show.
