Comments: Great show for its age. Video and sound are taken from the venue's in house video feed, so are darn need perfect. They have, however, been on a VHS for some 25 years, so are slightly worn in places, but this isn't all that noticeable, due to the performance of a band at its peek, with the full "Paradise Theater" show.
