Ok, so this is what we have so far:
*AVAILABLE*
Sevilla, Spain - Pro-shot recorded from a tv channel I suspect. Fairly decent (considering the 90s) picture quality, better than the ones above, but the audio is mono and very quiet. Has the channel's logo in the upper left corner.
Tours, France - DVD, Video -front row audience shot, quite colorful but shaky, average sound.
Barcelona, Spain -DVD, simple menu, upper left side audience shot, the picture is too bright. I suppose it could be fixed by using some brightness correction filter, I'll give it a try some day. Shaky camera, mediocre sound. Nothing more to say.
Berlin, Germany *EDITED SOUND* - DVD, No menu, raw vhs transfer(?), audience shot from the upper left side, very good position, perfect view, all the effects and projections were captured.Great video quality. The strangest thing though is that some parts of the video have been cut. It's nothing too serious, those were usually the spots when the same tune is supposed to repeat, but I guess it was recorded that way..maybe the filmer was afraid of running out of tape or something..
*the original audiotrack was poor-sounding, so I've replaced it with a more "listenable" version.
Versailles, France *EDITED SOUND* - DVD, no menu, raw vhs transfer, obviously warrior, credits at the end confirm it. Audience shot from the front row. Very good picture quality but unfortunately the taper wasn't focusing much on the fireworks and imho was standing too close to the stage, which resulted in some good close-ups but at the same time he couldn't capture the projections completely.
*Again, original audio was very distorted and extremely low-volumed so I replaced it with another better-sounding one which I had found in the database or someplace else, a long time ago.
Additionally the footage includes some short "making of" documentary in french at the beginning and short interview at the end, recorded from BBC, which also shows snippets of a tv proshot version which I guess has never seen the light. Those fragments of the proshot looked great. Would be cool to get a hold of that version. Maybe someone here knows where to get it ?
Mont Saint-Michel, France - DVD, simple menu, includes making of, warrior(?). It's a bad copy (3rd gen I'd say). Camera was fixed not too far from the stage resulting in good close-ups ,but the video itself is flickering probably because of the old worn cassette. It's also incomplete probably because the person who was filming got noticed (which happened somewhere in the middle of the concert) and had to stop, he then resumed filming from far in the back, but not for long.
*WANTED*
Santiago de Compostela, Spain - Just a beta-cam snippet, can be found in the database. The question is - Does the full version exist? Has anyone had any success finding it? Looks amazing and the quality appears to be excellent.
Wembley, UK - Rather poor video but viewable, people blocking the view, shaky camera, video gets too bright and distorted at times. Still interesting to watch though. Sound is muddy. Looking for a dvd as well.
Mont Saint Michel,France - DVD- 2 different recordings. I'm looking for a better copy of the warrior footage, as well as the other (complete) version.
Budapest, Hungary - DVD, quality is not so good, mono, filmed from above
Brussels, Belgium - DVD, good quality (Warrior version)
P.S. By "available" I mean it's either in the database or some other place where the dvd could be downloaded from(dimeadozen for instance). By "will be shared soon" I imply that I'm going to make it available. Hope I don't get banned for this and also for sharing some Warrior dvds, whoever they are.
