Hey if the above reviewer thought this was an amateur effort, he should have seen what the other camera people were up to. The producer hired a "crew" of guys with Betacams, who I swear at one point were twirling the cameras in circles. I was recruited to shoot the main camera on Rudy, and I did it on a Sony Hi8 (not VHS but close) with no lighting. It was such a mess even Rudy didn't know I was authorized to shoot the thing, and can be seen berating me in mid-concert (which he also later did at an unreleased show I shot at Village Underground in NYC a few years later) and ordering me to stop recording which I didn't (thankfully for him since he must have made some money off the DVD).
It was a fun experience and makes a great story, but the whole thing was far from professional, sloppy, tossed together, and looks awful. Which means, if you have seen any of RRM's other cinematic and video offerings, it fits in perfectly.
