    November 7, 1987

    Video Recorded by CBG

    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    These old boots are still very important historical documents!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....

  3. 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.
