Audio\Video Patches:

1) Start of second set was missing 26 seconds of video which were filled in graphics.

2) Franklin’s Tower was cut after 1 minute and 30 seconds … no graphics were added even though I thought about finishing the song in normal BHP fashion but as DVD was already at 98% … decided to leave as it was.

3) Soundboard which ran a shade slow was synced to video – rate was about .5 seconds per minute.

4) When I originally saw the Peanut Production version of this dvd, I didn’t plan on working on it as I figured that Jeff’s audio sounded fairly good. Closer listening showed many audio cutouts on the original dvd almost making a sound upgrade necessary and that is all I did … thanks to Peanut Production and the Lazy Cow people for making the original dvd available.
