COMMENT
Without doubt this the finest release so far of the First Avenue 83 video recording. Available on many releases in varying degrees of quality you will not find a better version than this. Perhaps the most frustrating thing about all other versions is the inconsistency between one release and another - sometimes too much colour and contrast, other times too little. All suffer from a few glitches as they are sourced from the same original tape, and this Fullasoul/Superball release is no different. There are some minor picture drop-outs (mainly during the opening 10 minutes) but in no way spoil the recording. The picture quality on this particular version is superb and far cleaner than any other. The colours are sharper and far more realistic with much better colour separation (i.e. minimal colour bleeding) and the unrealistic green/blue tint which plagued most others is all but gone. The best thing I can say about this is that the whole footage looks like it's been given a lift and is much fresher, newer and clearer than before. I've sat through dozens of versions of this show and have certainly never seen one this good. The content of the show is every bit as good as the quality, and I'm just glad someone has finally done justice to the great show. You won't hear another full length live version of 'Computer Blue', 'Purple Rain' or 'Electric Intercourse' and you'll certainly never see them in this kind of high quality. I though long and hard about what to say regarding this release without sounding like my tongue was up Fullasoul/Superball's arse, but sometimes you just have to praise something no matter what, and this release deserves all the praise it gets.
