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 for it to arrive. 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 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.

I added chapters and a menu but the video and audio were not changed.
