The Hammersmith concert is also released as a "double pack" CD+video.
The sound on the CD is better than on my bootleg of the same source.

I suppose there have been many a flamewar on digital vs. analouge, 
and this is off topic, but let me point out: digital can sound 
brilliant, but does not always sound brilliant. Analouge can sound 
dull but does not always sound dull. E.g. reel to reel tapers and 
hifi VHS:s (analouge) sound better than DCC and Minidisc (digital).
If the "encoding isn't ... brilliant", then a hifi VHS *could* sound 
better :-)
