This amazing video was made possible by www.wolfgangsvault.com and www.longliverock.org. All credit for filming and audio goes to them, Connor McBrine-Ellis only synced the Audio to the Video sources he found.
I found the video for the first half (which is VERY high quality, and the best looking footage I have found of Tanglewood) up until halfway into Christmas on Tommy on the Wolfgang's Vault facebook page, where it probably is still available. I got the second half of the video, which is very rough VHS quality but yet still the best currently available, from the Tanglewood 1970 HIWATT torrent on www.longliverock.org.
Both the video that I got off of Wolfgang's Vault and the second half off of LongLiveRock DID NOT have very good audio - some was a live feed mono soundboard mix, and some was from an audience recording, and it sounded pretty terrible. Then, I found out that Wolfgang's Vault released a remastered version of the audio, which is the official recording, in stereo, and it sounded GREAT! Unfortunately, it did not sync up very well with the video. The video's tape speed fluctuated CONSTANTLY, especially at the end with My Generation and on the second half with the VHS footage, so I ended up making about 500 or 600 edits keeping the video in sync with the audio! I didn't adjust the audio, because I didn't want to mess up the audio speed or quality of the amazing sounding remix, so I only adjusted the video speed to keep it in sync.
I hope you enjoy my work, until they FINALLY release it officially, and in the future, I hope they release something officially from the 1971, 1973 or 1975 tours! If you're a record official or something, lol please release something from the vaults from these eras!!!
If you want to host this video on your own website or on a torrent, make sure to include this complete blurb you are reading right now and a link to http://hyperactmedia.com/tanglewood
THANKS, EVERYONE!
This is the visual and audio quality that I would want in a DVD of this concert. Can one be purchased? Ah, further viewing shows the visual quality is not sustained. Shame.

@DJGort yeah its too bad. I put this together as a project of mine (combining all the best sources available). The master tape cuts out in the middle of christmas. the second half is only available as part of a low quality inverse telecine (what looks to be an 8mm video capture of the tape being played back on a projector).
What does surprise me though is that it appears that the second half was once available as you can see the ending of the show on the kids are alright during the credits!
