3- About the Audio Tracks
The current copies of the Nassau concert are usually found having four major gaps in the sound.
In this release the audio has also been restored filling the mute gaps from recordings of that specific show.
This DVD contains two audio tracks:
1- The restored audio from the original footage (silence gaps were filled),
and:
2- An audience recording edited from the WallWeeds audio release.
The audio tracks are selectable from the setup menu, or the audio/language button on your DVD player.
Editing the WallWeeds audio track was not easy task: there was a big miscue (up to 10 seconds) when synchronizing the audio to the video. This was undoubtly due to the fact that since both audio and video came originally from analogue magnetic tapes, a shift in speed was unavoidable given the wearing of the tapes or the difference in speeds of the players/recorders.
The proper corrections were made, and the audio is fully in sync.
4- About the video restoration
I believe images and facts sometimes speak louder than words.
So, instead of writing a lot of technical details I prefer to offer a sample of the "before-after":

5- The Menus

6- Subtitles and Translations
As with all the Niebla de Fuego releases, this DVD also has selectable subtitles.
English Subtitles:
All lyrics were taken from different sources, mainly the CD booklets of the original album releases. Since in some cases the lyrics vary when performed live, they were revised and corrected to suit the changes presented on the live performances of the songs.
For the speech parts Niebla used a careful ear and the help of Vernon Finch's Book "Comfortably Numb".
Spanish Subtitles:
Niebla translated all the lyrics using techniques obtained in English Translation courses taken at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
Timing the Subtitles:
This was the most time-consuming task. I spent several weeks revising the subtitles, timing every little bit, correcting the translations... and although they're not perfect, it's the best I can do by now.
7- Artwork
Artwork for cover and label is included inside the torrent you download.

Please be patient if you don't find any seeds at some hours during the first weeks. I cannot seed 24 hours a day, but I always complete all my uploads, and I always keep seeding. ;)
