TECH BIT: Transcribed from compact S-VHS tape. Cropped from 4:3 to 16:9. Stabilised. When judging picture quality please bear in mind that back in the 90's home video cameras were bulky and conspicuous and most venues prohibited filming so it had to be done discreetly and usually from the worst possible vantage points.
