Notes:

I have five different transfers of this recording.

Transfer 1:

Original broadcast (blue Channel [V] logo).
Supposedly from master VHS (possible, though poor encoding makes it hard to be sure).
Concert footage only.
Chapters for each song.
No DVD menu.
Nothing else on disc.

Transfer 2:

Re-broadcast from late 1999 (green Channel [V] logo).
From 1st gen VHS. 2003 transfer.
Presenter intro before concert.
Chapters at 5 minute intervals.
Standalone DVD menu.
Disc also contains:
- 2001-01-31 (MTV special, 21:39)
- 1997-08-16 (35:43)
- 1997-03-12 (Japan TV special, 18:26)
- A segment from French TV with The Beautiful People live at the MTV Music Awards (4:21)

Transfer 3:

Original broadcast (blue Channel [V] logo).
Digitised from unknown gen VHS by KingBean, on April 24th 2021. Tape purchased off eBay, April 2021.
Ordinary quality with lots of visual blowouts.

Transfer 4:

Original broadcast (blue Channel [V] logo).
Digitised from 'TV master' VHS by KingBean, on November 10th 2021. From the collection of Bobmetallicafreak. Thanks for the tape!
Unfortunately the Hi-Fi audio was left channel only and as such this is not true stereo Hi-Fi.
Incomplete show (cuts in at I Don't Like The Drugs...).

Transfer 5:

Original broadcast (blue Channel [V] logo).
Digitised from 'TV master' VHS by realkosh, in mid-2009.
Strong vertical distortions throughout.

I taped this the first time it aired live; unfortunately that tape is long, long gone. Still holding out hope a complete, high quality version pops up one day. This show is a classic.
