Source B: Mini Disc --- Core Sound Binaurals > Sharp (model # not known)

Notes: This is, finally, a non-MP3 sourced recording of this show. I've received loads & loads of this same source but with track transitions & strange wave profiles. Finally, this is not one of them. This is finally it. Thanks Per. Tool was real good this night, of course. Maynard in his Rev. get-up...classic. Buzz, of course, comes out for a few songs. If anything, this recording is slightly far away in sound. Although relatively clear & balanced, I think that it could've sounded a little bit better, all things considered. I do think that the venue had a great deal to do with that though. All in all, as of Jan 2003, this non-MP3, smooth-track transition CD is rather hard to find as the majority of copies out there are either incomplete, MP3 or both.
Notes: It has come to my attention that even this reportedly non-MP3 sourced recording may actually be MP3 even the track transitions are smooth. However, this does give evidence that the plot thickens, no? The only way this debate will be settled is if/when the taper comes out... Big thanks to Martin M. for having the dedication to put up a note about it by clicking here. So, apparently, I stand corrected?

Source B: Unknown Video Recording Equipment
Source: Low Gen VHS > DVD
Source: 3rd Gen VHS > CD (Transfer by Galen in 2000)

Notes: First, all known copies of this show have You Lied cut. If you have a complete version or have seen one, please let me know. This, however, is the common video source that has that cut. For a long time, only random VHS high gen copies of this were around, recently someone with a low gen VHS put it to DVD, which is nice. The audio copy reflected above & below are sourced from a VHS I have that was transferred a few years ago. There may be other VHS>CD transfers out there but I have not actually seen any different ones. Have seen lots of different CD versions (as lots were from MP3) but not for VHS transfers. Speaking of the CD version, the sound is really good for a VHS actually. The video quality is pretty good as well - there are some decent close-ups of MJK simply dripping piety as the Rev. This was filmed from the left-center. There are a few sound drop-outs including one during Sweat. This is still a solid enough filming & I would recommend this, for what it is worth.

Maynardism:
"Seaaaattttlleeee! Are you ready to do some of the good lord's work? Well, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place. This is the not the church of Jesus, this is not the church of Christ, this is the Jesus Fucking Christ! Can I get an Amen? Can I get a Hallehuiah? Can I get a Jesus Fucking Christ!? Gonna do some healing, a little bit of healing tonight"
