Notes:

I have three transfers of this show:

Transfer 1:

Digitised from unknown gen VHS by KingBean, on April 24th 2021.

VHS purchased off eBay, April 2021, stated to contain Korn, Marilyn Manson and Hole sets. The seller claimed he got it from a friend around the time of the BDO who had worked 'in the music industry' (seller would not elaborate). I had high hopes it could be a 1st gen tape, or possibly even pre-broadcast given the seller's reluctance to go into detail, but turns out it was just same shitty bootleg tape that had been dubbed multiple times already. At the end of the three sets listed on the tape itself, there was also the full Ash set and a partial Regurgitator set (stopped due to end of tape).

Transfer 2:

Digitised from unknown gen VHS by realkosh mid-2009.

Bad vertical distortions.

Transfer 3:

Unknown transfer from 2005 Big Day In Vault re-broadcast.

Video is letterboxed to make it appear widescreen. See below for screenshot comparison and see how much has been cropped off. Sound is great.
