were broadcast have been cut for this dvd.
Quality varies because of the different VHS cassettes these shows were taped at,
generations and ageing of the cassettes.

Note about the use of DVD Shrink:
Usually it's considered a crime to shrink or compress audio or video quality in any way. In this
case the decision to shrink was made because there was no visual downgrade, it doesn't
concern a concert recording, the shows and quality don't really 'deserve' a 2-disc treat and it
was possible to fit all on just 1 disc with minimal shrinking.
