Points of note about the video:
- This is a mix of known video footage of the show. Unfortunately there wasn't much high quality footage available for the show. Apparently there is a complete uncirculated video of the show recorded on a HXR-NX70U Sony. Until this surfaces then this is the best we have!
- I've no idea why the audience member decided to film the ceiling for the last part of Lonely is the Name. As it was the only source available i've left it in so the song is complete
- Drop in quality for Prairie song, Now (And Then), Pinwheels (Only sources available). I've had to adjust the brightness/contrast slightly on Now (and Then) to even make Billy visible during most of the song
- The piano songs (Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and To Forgive) are slightly dark so the audience mostly filmed the pro-shot camera screens which were recording the show
- Only partial footage available of Muzzle from one source. It's also horribly shot but as it's one of the few recordings of a piano version of Muzzle I've left it in
- Only partial footage of The Crying Tree of Mercury from one source (Missing first 30 seconds). Again, horribly shot although I've left in for the Jeff guitar solo
- Only partial footage of Ava Adore from one source (Missing first 30 seconds)
- First part of Thirty-Three and 1979, and end of 1979 filmed from further back. There was one poorer quality clip closer to the stage which i didn't choose to use.
- At a couple of points i've left a few seconds of audio only sections if there was some show banter which would've been lost by editing these out as there was no video of these parts
*Songs where only partial footage was available are marked with an asterix (*)
**No footage exists of Chicago, My Poor Troubled Heart and Stand Inside Your Love
- Audio is from this source: MZ-R55 (https://archive.org/details/billycorg...). Some static at the beginning of The Rose March.
