Description:

A nearly complete appearance exists on video in great picture quality, including the band interview by Shunichi Tokura done after Queens Of Noise. Unfortunately, it's missing the last few seconds of Cherry Bomb. The first few seconds of The Runaways introduction, while they are standing on the floating stage, are missing as well.

Description:

This copy contains complete Cherry Bomb, but it's missing a few more seconds of the band introduction, and it's pretty unwatchable compared to the previous copy as it comes from a very high-generation VHS.
