I've digitized a low quality, normal VHS of the 1st International Rock Awards' "Talent Show". Some cable tv channel interference makes diagonal lines across the screen, but it may be an upgrade nonetheless.
In a decision that may be disliked by some, I patched the infamously censored part of the song with audio from six weeks earlier (from 1989-04-18). At first I was going to put it in reverse, sin ce Gen-Xers may fondly recall how syndicated concert broadcasts would reverse any swear words. But it looked weird. How authentic is this repair? I think at the awards show Tommy added a backup vocal to emphasize the lyric that they knew was going to get them in trouble. But that is not present here. So it is not entirely accurate. But it saves your eardrums from going into and out of silence.
UPDATE: Alright so that edit was terrible, and I took the feedback seriously and redid it. This is seamless. If you previously downloaded the version called the "Feeling Good Fix", please delete it and replace it with this "Feeling Good Mix". It's darn near perfect now:
