============================================

I used an older 8mm camera that only had an 8x zoom. (which wasn't good enough)

I stood on the far left side of the stage, filming through the side of the open tent.

The camera only had a tiny black & white view finder. I couldn't tell it was slightly out of focus.

I used a tripod, so the picture is steady. The sound is pretty good.

My batteries died near the end of the band introductions.

When i got home and watched this, I was really disappointed at the picture quality

The picture is a bit too distant and fuzzy, it's not quite in focus.

To this day, i'm still upset that this is not very good and i should have done a better job.

They bring a chair out for BB to sit before they play The Thrill is Gone.

During Rock Me Baby, i pick up the tripod and move it about 5 feet closer, but it didn't really help it much.

I was so far to the left, that i didn't even realize that there was a large video screen.

I could have filmed the screen had i known.

I'm just pulling DVD's out of my collection at random and this is just the next one.

To view this, click on VIDEO_TS.IFO and this brings up the menu. (5 min chapters)

Enjoy it if you can. Rest in Peace Riley.
