Background info:
This tape came to me as a branch in Buckeye's massive tree of the
video as he knew someone who had the dvd. There are numerous edits and
cuts, and problems, but damnit, that doesnt matter, its still cool.
Finally a version of what many consider "The Holy Grail" has come into
circulation.


Notes:
There are some cuts and such, I didnt create them, they were just
there. Off the top of my head, I remember 3 in Rock & Roll, 2 in Sick
Again, and maybe one other somewhere on the first disc, I dont
remember what was specifically wrong about the 2nd and 3rd discs
though. One notes, durring Over the Hills and Far Away, and again
durring Rain Song, the image PAUSES. This problem was on the tape, and
evidently they screwed up or something, I dont know, but this isnt my
fault with the capture card, I double checked. There are some glitches
with the tape (tape rolls, vertical corrections, etc), but those are
all on the tape. I actually took the exact footage and didnt rearrange
anything, so what you see was all on my tapes. One of the things which
I DID change was the picture. It was TOO DAMN DARK on the orignal
release and tapes, so I corrected the gamma rating by -0.3 since
brightness/contrast would have warped the color (which was allready
funky, but hey, this is all about preservation, hehe). Now the release
is watchable on a PC, and should be better on TVs, which is where I
recomend watching it anyway.

One thing I would like to express is PLEASE keep this in CORRECT vcd
format. (IE: if you copy the disc, COPY it, dont just rip the dat
files and reburn. That ruins the format, and DAMNIT, I deal with vcds
enough to know the consequences and why this is bad). So either keep
the raw mpeg, or make sure you know how to handle vcds properly. I've
goten screwed over too many times with this problem. Also, if
possible, distro the rar files, md5s (which i made of both rars and
the mpegs), AND this NFO file. I would REALLY appreciate it.

Big thanks goes out to Buckeye for this one, and his friend who's name
excapes me. Probably forgetting other people, dooh.
