I was given the opportunity to trade for a copy of what was described as a
proshot video from Mountain View, California during the Presto tour. While this
video is known to exist it has not been seen in a long time, so I eagerly waited
its arrival. After looking at the video I realized that although the copy is
several generations old and had some issues when it was recorded from tape to
DVD, this was exactly what I had heard rumors about.
The video is the in house feed which includes all the videos and animation used
on the screen behind the group during the show. The shots of the group are
fantastic with lots of close ups and various camera angles from slightly above
Neil during the drum solo, behind the audience looking towards the stage and at
stage level looking up at Alex. There are also several parts where there is no
video but these seem to be part of the feed rather than any problem from the
tape copy. The audio is off the soundboard and is of very listenable quality but
unfortunately in mono.
For me the most interesting part of the show is when the opening act, Mr. Big
joins the group in playing In The Mood with Paul Gilbert playing the lead guitar
as Alex uses a power drill on his guitar.
I added chapters and a menu but the video and audio were not changed.
