Seems like there were some really good and honest people behind this Italian bootleg-label.

I thought the “quit” in 1997/1998.

This one is numbered as 445/446, but a release from last year, so it seems, was numbered as 569, namely “Jane’s Addiction – Last Fixx”. How is this possible?

I am not a newby as collecting silvers, so I’m really wondering how this is possible. Can anyone explain?

Thanks in advance!

Lack of time prevents me from doing a formal review so here is my minireview…..

Nippon Voodoo
Room 101 Entertainment
1- Silver pressed Proshot DVD in 4:3 NTSC Video Format( North American)
Running time = 132 minutes
MPEG Stereo
Simple Menu with full song access

Video= 9.5 (A)
Audio= 10.0

This silver pressed disc contains the complete 23 song complete show from the 4th night of the seven night Tokyo concert run in March 95. The band was in the eighth month of the Voodoo Lounge Tour when they started this seven night run at the cavernous Tokyo Dome. I had always thought the Audio of this show, VGP’s F*ck’n Tired, was excellent sonically but the performance came across to me as rather pedestrian but I can happily say that watching this video has me changing my mind as the band is relaxed but full of energy and the playing is very good.

The Video is excellent, as it should be, as it was sourced from an official Japan only Laser disc or VHS release which is long out of print (OOP). The picture is crystal clear with sharp colors and must have been sourced directly from the official laser disc or VHS tape so there is no generational loss. The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect 10 (A+) is the fact that they squeezed the complete 2hr. plus show onto a single layer DVD. This means a lower bit rate resulting in a slight loss of resolution.
As a result of the lower bit rate there is some pixelization when the colored stage lights come on but it is not too distracting

This release could have been Laser Disc quality if it had been a two disc or dual layer DVD release. The Audio is a perfect (10) sound board quality stereo so if you like the VGP or Sister Morphine Audio release of this show you will not be disappointed.

I probably have many silver disc DVD releases from the Voodoo Lounge tour and can say this is about the best along with the pay per view Miami show. Highly recommneded if you can find it…
