Number: 1
Source: pro. tv brdcst portion + unbroadcast portion > ntsc vhs > sa (2 hour mode = 1.62 gb) > dvdr
Quality: A-/A
Notes:

One of my three "holy-grails" of FNM vid-collecting (along with the mid '80s Courtney Love-fronted public-access tv brdcst & the complete 92min Sao Paulo 1991-09-24 pro-shot, the master copy long-since lost/stolen from MTV Brazil's vaults) this is the most complete & best-looking version of this classic pro-shot footage that I've come into contact with.

The 13min broadcast portion found on this release is very nice-looking & low-gen but not quite as sharp as that which Smeagol surfaced in 2005.

It's the un-broadcast footage that garners all the attention here.
It has *some* generation (maybe 2nd-3rd gen?), some constant static-flakes & a few quick audio-drops scattered about. The sound isn't as good as that found on the broadcast either. BUT -- we now can see important parts that the broadcast portion failed to include, moments like Young MC's additional verse on "Epic" & the full, Ozzy-lead rendition of "War Pigs", filmed from on stage to Ozzy's left. Although it isn't nearly as crisp as the broadcast portion, this additional segment carries all the punch.
One of the most intriguing & important FNM boots in existence.

Birthday Pony's summary:

(48:32)

Broadcast part:

1. Intro
2. From Out Of Nowhere
3. Falling To Pieces
4. Short interview
5. Epic (w/ Young MC)
6. War Pigs (with Ozzy Osbourne and James Hetfield)

3, 5 and 6 are edited shorter on the broadcast. War Pigs intro also edited out. In total this part lasts about 13 minutes.


And another part from the same show, which was not broadcast. A slight drop in quality; picture gets a bit more grainy, but brighter, and the sound gets a bit weaker. Also only 1-2 cameras are used.

7. As The Worm Turns
8. The Crab Song
9. Edge Of The World - first half of song only
10. Chinese Arithmetic - intro cut
11. We Care A Lot
12. Surprise! You're Dead! - just a few seconds of the song ending
13. Epic - intro and outro slightly cut, otherwise complete. Here you can also hear and see the extra verse contributed by Young MC, which is actually pretty cool IMHO.
14. Woodpecker From Mars - heavily edited
15. War Pigs - intro just slightly cut, otherwise complete.


DVD has no menu & is not indexed to songs.
This exact same Hollywood 1990-11-09 rip is circulating on a combo-dvd with Milwaukee 1992-07-23 (mid-gen).
