Budapest 1986 Theatrical Version

Freddie's "HEY!" at the start of the song also isn't present on this "theatrical" version. It is audible on both the '87 and '12 releases

It is the VHS version. I can't comment on the audio though. Talking about video here. Okay. Frame by frame analysis for you to see. Note that his video has more borders, that is because I just grabbed a quick AVI rip from a Torrent (only for this comparison purpose) which was cropped by someone. Take a look at the film scratches. These scratches appear only for 1 frame so they are unique to the particular frame. That means it is no coincidence they perfectly match with the VHS version. Also, he made it more saturated and applied a ton of denoise (Neat Video, surely). It also seems he made the whites more blue & green. And he sharpened it a bit. That's all. Don't buy this people, just search around and torrent it, it will be better quality as well than this butchered version. Edit: Earlier I didn't compare them carefully enough. What I found today is this - there are identical dropouts (comets) in exactly the same frames. Note - film originally doesn't have these kind of dropouts. They originate from tapes. They might look a little tiny bit different to you - that is because he processed the video, sharpened it etc. But let's not split hairs here. They do match perfectly. It's the same transfer from the same tape. And here's the forensic evidence :-) . Hopefully this clears it up.

Talking about video: Our Chief said it.

But talking about the audio: maybe trading he received (a supposed) soundboard audio from the concert and he merged it with this modified video.

Or he processed the audio (stereo to mono, equalization, compression, etc.).

Regarding Chief's post:

Doesn't that also leave the possibility that Snow's video and the VHS are both sourced from the same film reel, rather than Snow's video being ripped off from the VHS? I might be reaching.

We can't really compare the last shot with the Blu-ray version, since it has a different image composition

^ Yup, "me re cabió".

Funny, the more I look at it the more it looks like an 1080p upscale of my old VHS transfer done in the early 2000s :-)
The sound - could it be taken from a very good copy of the 16 camera version? Because this "theatrical version" mix has basically no audience, just like the 16 camera version, and the audience can be clearly heard on both the VHS and BD releases.

Now I'm REALLY curious what EXACTLY this is :-)

Can't fault that evidence. The video's origin seems to be solved then. Discrepancies in the sound are still puzzling.

I checked the version on Greg's channel (I believe it's a radio broadcast??) and it also has the "Hey!" At the start of One Vision.
I haven't hears the 16 camera version

There's no such thing as a Budapest radio broadcast, if Greg has a complete SBD version (I haven't checked) it is probably from the 16 camera version

I used the audio from the 16 cameras!

Well, then it's a mystery to me what audio source is used

And the Live Magic CD?
