Original notes by a_doubt:
I enjoyed the Paradiso show very much and wanted to create some sort of souvenir. Fortunately there were a lot of people who recorded video and kindly shared them - thank you. So I spent some days on sync'ing the video bits with the audio I recorded.

I'm pretty sure that 2 shows of the European tour leg were filmed, most probably completely. So hopefully there's a chance of (a) DVD(s) in the future. The video clips I edited could help to bridge the time gap until a DVD will be released.

This project was quite an instructive experience, but I enjoyed it. Don't expect HD or anything outstanding, nevertheless the clips are enjoyable IMO and I managed to mix angles for a few songs. The sync'ing and mixing was done track by track, so the audio is not fading in or out (apart from the first and the last track). Because of the resolution of the videos I decided to create and upload AVI files:
Video is DivX 5.0, 640 × 480, 29.97 fps, and audio is MPEG Layer-3 Audio stereo, 44.1 kHz. You can play the files with any common player program, for example QuickTime Player, VLC media player and MPEG streamclip.

Thanks again to all the nice people sharing their videos (and photos as well, there are some slide shows when I did not have complete video for a song).

It's a decent '09 start-of-tour show. a_doubt did a great job at putting this whole thing together and I'm pleased to say that it turned out more enjoyable than I originally thought. It's definitely the best of the 2009 bootlegs so far and will stay that way for a while.
