This is an audience video recording, first row, left side. There's an annoying focus light to the right, you'll notice it quite often.

The audio quality is limited by the built-in still camera mics, but it's overall A-.
PLAY IT LOUD! Automatic volume control sometimes is tricky and with such a sonic attack, it lowers itself quite a lot.

My camera has a 30 minutes limit for continuous recording and, in consequence, I stopped recording three times, in-between songs, to make sure no music was missed by the automatic cut-off.
There's one chapter per song, accordingly, except chapter one, which includes song 1 and 2 (NW/NT + Jim).
