Now I have it. :twisted: I mean the physical VHS tape, 'cause I'm so oldschool that I like things like that.
And I would totally show you guys the parts missing from this great thread darkcat made, except I live in a cave in the Pleistoscene era (56k connection + old computer + yes I really still have a VCR and still know how to program it).Anyway I just wanted to ask you guys if you wanted me to go into detail about it (some kind of review I guess?), or if you had any specific questions about it that you always wanted to know, etc. etc. If anyone's interested interested I'd be happy to write something like that, just ask.
Just some random interesting observations I thought you guys might want to know:
- The quality is quite bad... on purpose. I'm dead serious. There is a fair amount of "grain" or "noise" in the picture on most of the songs, but NOT on a few of them (Empty Room, for one, which is as clear and noise-free as one can expect from VHS). It honestly looks like this was some kind of, uh, "artistic choice"... maybe they wanted the video to look old and gritty, I have no idea.
- The band members shown and named on the back cover are Taiji Sawada, Mitsuo Takeuchi, Taiji Fujimoto, and Tomoyuki Kuroda. Yeah, this is
yet another different official DTR lineup. :lol: The liner notes also include Kenji Shimizu and Toshihiko Okabe as support members. So Toshihiko was at some point demoted from full member (during the first album) to support, I guess? Ouch.
- Kenji is waaaay far away from the rest of the band, I have no idea why.
He's on the upper-right part of the stage, up two flights of stairs from the main part of the stage.
- The video is 60 minutes.

IT FUCKING ROCKS!!So yeah, let me know if you want MOAR. Since I don't have any way to show you the parts you haven't seen, I figure the least I can do is tell you stuff.
