Author's Notes: A compilation of 3 different shows from the Jan-Feb 1983 "Hide Your Sheep" tour in South America. The overall picture & sound quality is far from perfect but considering the age (37 years old) and the source (TV to VHS to digital) it's not bad either. Yet anyone complain (after all, we are spoiled these days with HD quality video) we should be glad this footage even exists (I know I am)!! Overall I'd have to rate it somewhere around a 7.8 or a B+. I did try and clean up the footage a bit and make the audio sound just a tad better.
São Paulo is a full show, running 108 minutes. Buenos Aires seems to be close to a full show but has some editing between songs and clocks in at 88 minutes. The Caracas show is edited and runs about 70 mins.
The Caracas show has both remasterd 2.0 and 5.1 audio options.
