Notes

Recently purchased a PAL VHS off eBay that had both the first and third night recordings on it. I initially bought it so that I could get the DAT master audio off one of the recordings. It's a bit confusing which one it is. Is the DAT master audio the first night? or the third night that is the soundboard audio? There are a lot of errors on the cover of the bootleg VHS, which was presumably bought in the Camden market. Both audio sources have some hiss to them. So I am not sure which one it really could be. The video itself is a 1st gen video of both shows. The soundboard audio is synced to this night, but the video does not sync up and drifts throughout. After listening back, this sounds the best out of all the versions of this London 94 soundboard. One thing that is off putting is that this seems to be mono sourced. But as I said, it has the least amount of tape hiss on it and sounds very clear. This video has an audience audio recording for Pinion and the encore break, which I swapped the 'Pinion' and encore break audio soundboard track from "Hammering It Home." So again, it seems like there are a few versions of this recording and I would love to find a definitive board feed of this show that would include Pinion and the encore break. Like mentioned below, the silver CDs are missing all of 'Happiness In Slavery' due to keeping it to one CD. The encore break is also truncated on this and does not include Trent's, "thank you" right before they start Dead Souls. Which I also added to this release. Makes me think this is why the video has drift issues because the audio itself is too short at points. Overall, I believe this is the most full recording of this show. If you know who may have the master tape of this soundboard recording, please get in contact. I have a few things I would swap for the definitive copy of this recording, if so. It has been noted that NIN did record all of these London Forum shows, maybe for the release of 'Closure' as I assume some of this footage did make it in to it. But I can't be certain.

Soundboard for the third night of the 3 night run in London. Very emotional set, and great sound from the recording. This is a cassette source from the soundboard recording. There is more hiss on this recording than the silver CDs, but the good thing about this version of the soundboard recording is that it is complete. "Happiness in Slavery" does not fade out. "Pinion" and until the first beat of "Terrible Lie" is audience sourced. Then it turns into the soundboard. A better version of this must circulate somehwere. Would love to obtain it for the archive.

Soundboard source. Both of the Silver CDs are identical, there is nothing different about them. Just the titles. Incomplete, show fades out durng the breakdown of "Happiness In Slavery." Show is full soundboard source, whereas the cassette sourced soundboard copy's of "Pinion" is audience sourced.

Notes

This is from the master tape. Not sure who recorded this, or how it was transferred. But this has the soundboard audio mixed in with it. Recorded from the floor, the shot is pretty decent with good stable close ups and as good as it will be filming from the floor. This is another confirmation that this board feed is from 05/26 and not from 05/24 like it has been mislabled on the bootleg CDs.
