Comments	DVD Picture format: NTSC Aspect ratio: 4:3 / Letterbox Audio: LPCM Running times: 94minutes Authored: PC (by me) Title screen (with slideshow of images from the show) / Song menu & Chapters Nearly the complete show as broadcast by UK digital satellite channel "Redemption TV" of the first time Nightwish had their full stage production in the UK, complete with fireworks, flames, and paper cannons. Only the intro tape and the very end of "Kinslayer" are missing, as the former wasn't shown, and the latter faded out. However, the concert has never been shown in full, or in the correct order, on Redemption TV. who just showed three random tracks, during any of their five hour nightly broadcast. These would then be mixed in with bits of the interview, along with station ID's and/or title screens. Consequently, I captured each song separately, and then reassembled them into the correct order. I did the same with the interview Tuomos gave to presenter "Patricia" before the concert The Audio is direct from the soundboard and is in LPCM format to keep the full quality. However, there didn't appear to be any audience microphones so the crowd, which featured the entire UK Fan club and is clearly ravenous, can't be heard which is a shame. :) Please note that as the footage was originally broadcast on a compressed Digital channel it may give the impression, in some analyzing tools, that it was VCD sourced. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. All capture and authoring was carried out in full DVD SP PAL mode.
