Release Notes:
This recording comes from a pre-fm cd that a radio station in the Usa used to broadcast these tracks from the Chicago show with some interview to Noel.
I've cut out the interviews between songs, I've done some cross fades in the right places, removed 2 or 3 flaws that were in the original recording.
Then i adjusted the eq (the sound was too mid-ranged), brought transients back to life,improved the stereo separation and maximized the overall sound the L3.
"Remastered" version of the 1st Gen VHS transfer with FM audio soundtrack. It's Getting Better (Man!!) and Champagne Supernova were never part of the original broadcast so they have been omitted.

Great video upgrade to this great show.
Pre-FM audio by Fradoca > re-touched a little bit by me.
Unfortunately, this wonderful audio source is missing It's Getting Better (Man!) & Champagne Supernova.
VHS audio was improved as much as possible.

Supported by Cornershop.
Noel introduces "To Be Someone" by asking the crowd: "Does anybody remember a group called The Jam? This is a a song by The Jam..."
For some reason the radio station wern't allowed to broadcast "It's Getting Better (Man!!)" and "Champagne Supernova"; on Live at the Horizon these are sourced from an
audience recording (as are all the crowd noises between tracks - it's a weird source!).

Help - Hora Prima (Feb 19, 1998)
Be Here Now - The Point (Dec 5, 1997)
Live at the Horizon '98 (Complete Audience) is a new source that contains the whole show from an audience source. Compared to the FM broadcast, the recording has a fair amount of crowd noise and isn't exactly perfect (there are a couple of sound glitches during and at the end of "To be Someone") but it's a complete and uninterrupted recording - unlike the other sources of this show.
The soloalbum DVD seems to run a few minutes shorter than the NTSC (1st Gen) version, there is a chance that "soloalbum" cut some footage to make the release they traded inferior to their master copy. It definitely doesn't contain the full intro of the genuine NTSC 1st Gen.
Chicago 1998 The Video is a bonus DVD-R disc bundles with copies of their "Chicago 1998" bootleg and appears to be sourced from the soloalbum release.
The "fshoaps" version on YouTube is a 60fps/AI upscale of the soloalbum DVD source.
The "Alvarojam" DVD release uses a video master alongside the Fradoca audio remaster (where possible) and has the best quality video of all the sources available.
