The Live Aid set is taped straight from the MTV Live Aid broadcast
including the MTV logo in corner of the screen occasionally. It picks
up with Phil Collins' introduction and MTV VJ Mark Goodman's voice
over and ends with Goodman and Martha Quinn interviewing Ben Orr of
The Cars about the event. The video quality isn't any worse than the
Philadelphia material on the official DVD. The Atlantic Records anniversary
set was taped from the HBO broadcast and is good but not great. The
picture is a bit dull with the occasional tracking lines in the screen.
But again, this hasn't been released on bootleg since the infamous
Cabala box set, so it is very welcome. And the final portion of this
release is the MTV broadcast of Zeppelin's induction into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame. Beginning with the montage of footage and photos,
Steve Tyler and Joe Perry's speech and the band's thank yous.
