Roger Waters "KAOS By Satellite"
Live at the Coliseum, Quebec Canada
November 7, 1987

Video Recorded by CBG

Digital Transfer By Mike T.

Video Editing and DVD Authoring by Finatic

Original Cover design by Brian Sleeman

Special Thanks to "The Producer" Simon W. at www.RogerWatersOnline.com

Production Notes:
Camcorder Technology back in 1987 didnt offer much besides
big bulky cameras that needed alot of light and didnt have
much zoom. the result was that bootleg videos from this era
Are not of the quality standards we have come to expect today.
These old boots are still very important historical documents!

This recording was orginally made on a Beta camcorder, hence
it looks much better than VHS recorded concerts of this era.
The master tape had been retired until recently when the
filmer made one more copy from his Beta master to S-VHS, this
tape was sent to Mike T. who in turn cloned it to Digital8
which was used for this DVD.

This recording is the very best video available of the 1987
radio KAOS tour. Only 4 bootleg videos of this tour are known
to exist, they are Madison Square Garden NYC 8/26/87,
The Omni Atlanta 9/2/87, Market Square Arena Indianapolis 9/5/87
and this recording from The Coliseum in Quebec City Canada.
This recording and the Atlanta recording are complete concerts,
the MSG and Indy shows are incomplete and only a bit over 2 hours.

A great resource for all Roger Waters/Pink Floyd related bootlegs
is "A Collectors Guide to Pink Floyd Videos" from the Pink Floyd
Archives. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PFArchives

This 2 DVD set contains the complete concert as recorded by
the filmer with camera sound on disc one. The bonus footage on
Disc one contains the "Radio KAOS Video EP" which has been out of
print for a number of years.

This particular evenings concert was broadcast in part by Westwood
One Radio Networks. Disc two contains an edited version of the
camcorder video synched to the Radio Broadcast CDs for one of
the most incredible sounding bootleg videos ever! Disc two also
offers bonus footage of extremely rare videos shot during the
RADIO KAOS rehearsal sessions in London England and Providence Rhode
Island. The quality of these clips is not the greatest but the
rarity of these clips makes these worthwhile additions to this DVD.

Great care was taken to make this the very best DVD possible
however there are a few glitches and edits that cant be avoided.
I tried some color processing to improve the original picture but
found too much noise would be generated and adding to the video
which seemed to degrade the overall picture so instead i went with
just the direct cloned video with no processing for best results.

Video was edited using Sony Media's VEGAS VIDEO (the greatest NLE!!)
DVD Authored with SOny Media's DVD ARCHITECT in 5.1 Surround

It has been my pleasure to produce rare DVDs for the fan club and
trading community. Please respect the efforts put into this project
by both the artist and the video editor and dont sell this dvd, its
meant for trading only and to be shared and enjoyed by fans all
over the world. Please keep this program in its original DVD-R format
and dont bastardize it to VCD/SVCD or (gasp) VHS....

Are there screenshots of this anywhere? I'd like to get an idea of what the concert looks like as it'll take awhile to DL all of the parts (I don't have a rapidshare account).

If not, still sounds like it may be worth the time to get. Thanks.
