São Paulo - January 31st, 1998
Original seeder told about this :
According to my source, this was transferred directly from the
MTV master pre-broadcast beta tape. I have no way of confirming
that, but the image quality is crystal clear, and the audio is
excellent. It definitely is from a different source than the
DVD currently being torrented, because it does not have the
portuguese subtitles that MTV included in the broadcast everytime
Bono spoke during the concert (so this might be an indication
that it does come indeed from an MTV master), and it is complete,
without the cuts present on the other version.
Unfortunately, some idiot decided to add a very annoying logo
at the top left corner of the screen. As the concert goes on,
it'll get less annoying until we don't notice it anymore.
I received this as a 2 DVD set, both discs had lots of filler
(mostly U2 video clips), and no menus or chapter points.
By the time I removed the filler, it fit nicely into a
single DVD, but there is a fade out/fade in between
Sunday Bloody Sunday and Bullet the Blue Sky (the original
disc 2 started on Bullet the Blue Sky).
If it weren't for those two things, this would be the
definitive version of this show. Still, it is a huge
upgrade, and the quality is nothing short of stunning.
I merged the two parts into a single disc and created
menus and chapter points. Audio is Dolby Digital AC3. |
