This is the complete Carson show, filmed with a miniDV camcorder. Good news and bad news about this video.

The good news: That I was able to obtain it at all, given the level of security at the venue (I smuggled in bulky equipment through walkthrough metal detectors AND handheld wands, wearing only a t-shirt and shorts).

The bad news: I was pretty far from the stage, and only had my standard-definition miniDV. So the footage is more distant, not as steady, and not as crisp compared with my recent compilation and Edmonton videos. Also, my sight line did not afford a view of the main screen which in my opinion is a major part of the show. I shot a bit of the stage left side screen but this was at a sub-optimal angle.

Despite these caveats, it will still be an enjoyable video if you are a big Coldplay fan.
