Note: The on screen titles and menus have the venue as "Uptown Theater" but it looks like the official name is the "Uptown Theatre" (see Wikipedia and other online entries). The video already had on screen titles at the beginning of the recording and before each song. The original source was shot by a Japanese student who was given permission to record the show with his camcorder. Please support the artists and live venues any way that you can. Enjoy and SHARE!
