BROADWAY
Wicked - Broadway - July 24, 2005
VOB (with smalls)
Saycon Sengbloh (s/b Elphaba), Megan Hilty (Glinda), Jerad Bortz (u/s Fiyero), Ben Vereen (The Wizard), Rue McClanahan (Madame Morrible), Stacie Morgain Lewis (u/s Nessarose), Jeffrey Kuhn (Boq), William Youmans (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Visual quality is lacking--gen loss (static at bottom), spotlight washout, occasional head where you can see the glasses), mostly full-stage shots although there are a few zooms. Some bits are missing, including Catfight. Sound is excellent. Saycon Sengbloh does an amazing NGD.
Wicked - Broadway - January 8, 2006
FORMAT: VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Shoshana Bean (Elphaba), Megan Hilty (Glinda), David Ayers (Fiyero), Ben Vereen (The Wizard), Rue McClanahan (Madame Morrible), Michelle Federer (Nessarose), Robb Sapp (Boq), Sean McCourt (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Final show for Shoshana Bean, David Ayers, Rue McClanahan, and Michelle Federer
Wicked - Broadway - March 29, 2006 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (no smalls) (SD)
CAST: Saycon Sengbloh (s/b Elphaba), Megan Hilty (Glinda), Derrick Williams (Fiyero), Ben Vereen (The Wizard), Carol Kane (Madame Morrible), Jenna Leigh Green (Nessarose), Robb Sapp (Boq), Sean McCourt (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: A great illustration of why Saycon Sengbloh is one of my favorite performers! Megan Hilty is so much fun as Glinda.
Wicked - Broadway - August 1, 2006
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Saycon Sengbloh (s/b Elphaba), Kate Reinders (Glinda), Derrick Williams (Fiyero), David Garrison (The Wizard), Kathy Santen (u/s Madame Morrible), Jenna Leigh Green (Nessarose), Robb Sapp (Boq), Sean McCourt (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: A very nice video with terrific sound, maybe a little softer video than the sharpest ones, great mix of distances! Wonderful performances, too.
Wicked - Broadway - September 23, 2006 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Saycon Sengbloh (s/b Elphaba), Kate Reinders (Glinda), Derrick Williams (Fiyero), David Garrison (The Wizard), Carol Kane (Madame Morrible), Jenna Leigh Green (Nessarose), Logan Lipton (Boq), Anthony Galde (u/s Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: WOW. Brilliant camera work and great sound. Saycon Sengbloh's Defying Gravity and (especially) No Good Deed here are sensational.
Wicked - Broadway - November 25, 2006 (Highlights) (jstarz's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Ana Gasteyer (Elphaba), Katie Adams (s/b Glinda), Derrick Williams (Fiyero), David Garrison (The Wizard), Jayne Houdyshell (Madame Morrible), Jenna Leigh Green (Nessarose), Logan Lipton (Boq), Steven Skybell (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Ana Gasteyer is great--love seeing her on Broadway! Act 1 and a negligible amount of Act 2 (master got caught). Traded to me as 18 (really) .rar files, all of which proved to be the same, 17 of which had a corrupted VOB1 and one of which is perfect.
Wicked - Broadway - July 2, 2007 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Caissie Levy (u/s Elphaba), Kendra Kassebaum (Glinda), Sebastian Arcelus (Fiyero), David Garrison (The Wizard), Jayne Houdyshell (Madame Morrible), Cristy Candler (Nessarose), Logan Lipton (Boq), Steven Skybell (Doctor Dillamond)

Wicked - Broadway - January 11, 2009 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Marcie Dodd (Elphaba), Alli Mauzey (Glinda), Kevin Kern (Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Jayne Houdyshell (Madame Morrible), Brynn O'Malley (Nessarose), Alex Brightman (Boq), Timothy Britten Parker (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: A solid early performance from Alli Mauzey (Glinda), but the focus here is and should be Marcie Dodd (Elphaba), who pulls some fantastic and unique riffs during DG and gives a stunning Wizard and I.
Wicked - Broadway - February 22, 2009 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Nicole Parker (Elphaba), Alli Mauzey (Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (u/s Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Jayne Houdyshell (Madame Morrible), Cristy Candler (Nessarose), Alex Brightman (Boq), Timothy Britten Parker (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: This is the video where Nicole recognizes the camera VERY early on. It's also one of the ones with a more graphic/upsetting PETA ad than usual at the front. (This is not fuzzy piglets.) I'll still trade it, but you should know that going in.
Wicked - Broadway - November 12, 2010 (SJ Bernly's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Mandy Gonzalez (Elphaba), Laura Woyasz (s/b Glinda), Andy Karl (Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Kathy Fitzgerald (Madame Morrible), Jenny Fellner (Nessarose), Etai BenShlomo (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
Wicked - Broadway - August 16, 2012 (Highlights) (Eleka Nahmen's master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Jackie Burns (Elphaba), Chandra Lee Schwartz (Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (Fiyero), Adam Grupper (The Wizard), Randy Danson (Madame Morrible), Jenny Fellner (Nessarose), Etai BenShlomo (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: No-fly show! Just Act 1, though. There's a lot of spotlight washout, but the video is otherwise sharp with great colors. And yeah--Jackie Burns might not be "flying," but the power behind her voice makes you believe she is.
Wicked - Broadway - February 10, 2013 (Eleka Nahmen's master)
VOB (with smalls)
NOTES: Phenomenal video of a terrific performance, especially from Alli Mauzey. AM and Donna Vivino have awesome chemistry . This is one of the most popular Wicked videos.
Wicked - Broadway - May 12, 2013 (Lanelle's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (Fiyero), Adam Grupper (The Wizard), Randy Danson (Madame Morrible), Catherine Charlebois (Nessarose), F Michael Haynie (Boq), John Schiappa (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: 1-disc version: VOB+smalls, 4.27gb. Beautiful, beautiful video. A great introduction to Willemijn Verkaik if you're not familiar with her, hint hint. A great introduction to Wicked in general, in fact. One of my favorite English-language videos, possibly #1.
Wicked - Broadway - May 23, 2013 (Highlights)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (Fiyero)
NOTES: Rough angle from the orchestra, mostly mid-range, and a LOT of washout. I don't particularly recommend this one. Always good to see/hear Willemijn Verkaik, though!
Wicked - Broadway - May 26, 2013 (Highlights)
VOB (no smalls) (SD)
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (Fiyero), Adam Grupper (The Wizard), Randy Danson (Madame Morrible), Catherine Charlebois (Nessarose), F Michael Haynie (Boq), John Schiappa (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: [Traded as equivalent to an audio.] Willemijn Verkaik's final show on Broadway. Highlights include No Good Deed, The Wizard and I, For Good, and THREE different videos of Defying Gravity. Folder includes VOBs and mp4s of all six files. "You have a complete audio of this show," you say. "Why do you need another? Why do you want THREE more recordings of this Defying Gravity?" And I answer: "Don't you?"
Wicked - Broadway - November 30, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Christine Dwyer (Elphaba), Tiffany Haas (s/b Glinda), Michael McCorry Rose (u/s Fiyero), Tom McGowan (The Wizard), Mary Testa (Madame Morrible), Kelli Barrett (Nessarose), Michael Wartella (Boq), Timothy Britten Parker (Doctor Dillamond)
MASTER'S NOTES: Excellent video shot after Jenni had left the production but the new Glinda hadn't started, so Tiffany Haas was filling in. There are occasional moments of blurriness, but the quality and general steadiness makes up for that. It's filmed in 16:9, with a mix of wides, mediums and close-ups. The sound is excellent. Includes curtain call and playbill scans.
Wicked - Broadway - August 20, 2015 (NYCG8R's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Caroline Bowman (Elphaba), Lindsay K Northen (u/s Glinda), Matt Shingledecker (Fiyero), Fred Applegate (The Wizard), Michele Lee (Madame Morrible), Arielle Jacobs (Nessarose), Robin de Jesús (Boq), William Ryall (u/s Doctor Dillamond), Desi Oakley
NOTES: Lindsay Northen is a more forceful and ambitious Glinda, which I LOVED. The camera work on this video is fantastic, one of my favorites. There are a lot more medium/full stage shots than usual, especially in the beginning and flying scenes, which is a fantastic perspective. The quality is SO sharp, too.
Wicked - Broadway - December 27, 2016 (SJ Bernly's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Jennifer DiNoia (Elphaba), Kara Lindsay (Glinda), Michael Campayno (Fiyero), Peter Scolari (The Wizard), Sheryl Lee Ralph (Madame Morrible), Dawn E Cantwell (Nessarose), Zachary Noah Piser (Boq), Michael Genet (Doctor Dillamond), Raymond Joel Matsamura (Chistery), Courtney Iventosch (Witch's Mother), William Ryall (Witch's Father / Ozian Official)

CAST: Jackie Burns (Elphaba), Amanda Jane Cooper (Glinda), Ashley Parker Angel (Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Rondi Reed (Madame Morrible), Kristen Martin (Nessarose), Jye Frasca (Boq), Chad Jennings (Doctor Dillamond)
MASTER’S NOTES: Excellent HD capture of Jackie's return to the role, captured from the Orchestra. Jackie remains of the most powerful and brilliant Elphabas of all time. Stunning riffs, growls and variations, a perfect performance! A+
Wicked - Broadway - September, 2019 (StarCuffedJeans's master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Hannah Corneau (Elphaba), Brittney Johnson (s/b Glinda), Kyle Dean Massey (t/r Fiyero), Michael McCormick (The Wizard), Nancy Opel (Madame Morrible), Gizel Jimenez (Nessarose), Jesse JP Johnson (Boq), Jamie Jackson (Doctor Dillamond), Chase Madigan (Chistery), Christianne Tisdale (Midwife), Courtney Iventosch (Witch's Mother)
NOTES: Crystal clear sound and video! One of the most popular Wicked videos. Brittney's is Broadways first black Glinda! By master's request: do NOT post this publicly, or identify any gifs.
Wicked - Broadway - January, 2020 (StarCuffedJeans's master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Jennifer DiNoia (s/b Elphaba), Ginna Claire Mason (Glinda), Jake Boyd (Fiyero), Michael McCormick (The Wizard), Alexandra Billings (Madame Morrible), Shoba Narayan (Nessarose), Riley Costello (Boq), Michael X Martin (Doctor Dillamond)

WEST END
Wicked - West End - June 6, 2007 (Highlights)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Shona White (s/b Elphaba), Helen Dallimore (Glinda), Oliver Tompsett (u/s Fiyero), Nigel Planer (The Wizard), Susie Blake (Madame Morrible), Katie Rowley Jones (Nessarose), James Gillan (Boq), Tim Walton (u/s Doctor Dillamond)
Wicked - West End - November 16, 2013 (Matinee) (Highlights) (cityofemeraldtrading's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Louise Dearman (Elphaba), Gina Beck (Glinda), Ben Freeman (Fiyero), Keith Bartlett (The Wizard), Harriet Thorpe (Madame Morrible), Katie Rowley Jones (Nessarose), Sam Lupton (Boq), Christopher Howell (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Includes a decent number of songs, although not Defying Gravity. But set that aside. This is a muck-up matinee---most spectacularly in One Short Day, and you NEED to see this one.
Wicked - West End - April 5, 2014 (Highlights)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Savannah Stevenson (Glinda), Samuel Edwards (u/s Fiyero), Martyn Ellis (The Wizard), Sue Kelvin (Madame Morrible), Katie Rowley Jones (Nessarose), Sam Lupton (Boq), Paul Clarkson (Doctor Dillamond)
TRADER'S NOTES: Tthe best selection of highlights possible, song-wise. Quality, alas, is not ideal. A rough angle from the orchestra, filmed mostly mid/full-stage range so the stage front is visible, lots of spotlight washout. Unfortunately, the proximity to the orchestra means the drums kind of interrupt the singing sometimes. That said, the picture is otherwise extremely sharp, and the colors are some of the best I've seen.
Wicked - West End - August 27, 2015 (Matinee) (cityofemeraldtrading's master)
MP4 (HD) - per master, trades as limited, 2:1
CAST: Natalie McQueen (u/s Elphaba), Savannah Stevenson (Glinda), Jeremy Taylor (Fiyero), Martyn Ellis (The Wizard), Liza Sadovy (Madame Morrible), Lauren James Ray (u/s Nessarose), Sam Lupton (Boq), Steven Pinder (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Per master, trades as 2:1 limited. This is a weird one. High-def, shot from the front center of the orchestra/stalls, no zooms---so you see the conductor's head/hands during the songs. Something was a little off about the show, too--maybe not as good chemistry among the cast in general; maybe the audience wasn't into it enough...Sound quality is absolutely glorious, though.
TOURS
1NT - 2NT - International Tours
Wicked - First National Tour (Emerald City) - March 6, 2007 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Victoria Matlock (Elphaba), Christina DeCicco (Glinda), Cliffton Hall (Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Barbara Tirrell (Madame Morrible), Deedee Magno Hall (Nessarose), Josh Lamon (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
Wicked - First National Tour (Emerald City) - July 7, 2007 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Coleen Sexton (s/b Elphaba), Laura Woyasz (u/s Glinda), Cliffton Hall (Fiyero), PJ Benjamin (The Wizard), Barbara Tirrell (Madame Morrible), Deedee Magno Hall (Nessarose), Brad Weinstock (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: I love multi-understudy performances, and Coleen Sexton and Laura Woyasz do not disappoint. A few blackouts presumably due to ushers, but (a) pretty short and (b) not during Popular or DG.
Wicked - First National Tour (Emerald City) - November 1, 2008 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Carmen Cusack (Elphaba), Katie Rose Clarke (Glinda), Cliffton Hall (Fiyero), Lenny Wolpe (The Wizard), Myra Lucretia Taylor (Madame Morrible), Deedee Magno Hall (Nessarose), Brad Weinstock (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Video quality is pretty good--more washout than the best videos, but you still see facial expressions. You get a nice little look at the lift, too. Carmen plays Elphie as more optimistic or hopeful in the beginning, which I really liked, and she and Katie have great chemistry.
Wicked - First National Tour (Emerald City) - November 2, 2008 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

NOTES: From the master: "Great performance of the tour in San Diego. In Defying Gravity, A spotlight comes on early revealing how the flying sequence in the show works."
Wicked - Second National Tour (Munchkinland) - December 11, 2011 (SunsetBlvd79's master)
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Anne Brummel (Elphaba), Tiffany Haas (Glinda), David Nathan Perlow (Fiyero), Don Amendolia (The Wizard), Jody Gelb (Madame Morrible), Emily Ferranti (Nessarose), Dan Pachecho (Boq), Martin Moran (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: This video and cast are fantastic. Anne is terrific as Elphie and Tiffany's Glinda is different and SO enjoyable. All around, it's jumped onto my favorites list right away!
Wicked - First National Tour (Emerald City) - May 31, 2014 (SJ Bernly's master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Emmy Raver-Lampman (s/b Elphaba), Gina Beck (Glinda), Kyle Brown (u/s Fiyero), Timothy A Fitz-Gerald (u/s Fiyero), Tim Kazurinsky (The Wizard), Alison Fraser (Madame Morrible), Brenda Jean Hamilton (u/s Nessarose), Jesse JP Johnson (Boq), Tom Flynn (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Beautiful A/V. Kyle Brown is e/c Fiyero for the second act and does a great job. The cast has really good interaction at this performance!
Wicked - Second National Tour (Munchkinland) (Madison, WI) – October 22, 2015 (M) (SunsetBlvd79’s master)

CAST: Alyssa Fox (Elphaba), Carrie St Louis (Glinda), Jake Boyd (Fiyero), Stuart Zagnit (The Wizard), Wendy Worthington (Madame Morrible), Liana Hunt (Nessarose), Lee Slobotkin (Boq), Chad Jennings (Doctor Dillamond)
MASTER’S NOTES: Beautiful HD capture with no obstructions. Alssya has such power and control over her voice and character and is super strong. Carrie is just enthralling. Wonderful performances throughout!
Wicked - Second National Tour (Munchkinland) - September 26, 2017 (kradder32's master)
VOB (no smalls) (SD)
CAST: Mary Kate Morrissey (Elphaba), Ginna Claire Mason (Glinda), Jon Robert Hall (Fiyero), Tom McGowan (The Wizard), Isabel Keating (Madame Morrible), Catherine Charlebois (Nessarose), Sam Seferian (Boq), Harry Bouvy (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: One of those performances where if you're familiar with Broadway casts, you can tell it's a touring company; but if you didn't know Bway casts, you would absolutely think this is one!
Wicked - Asian National Tour (Singapore) – April 22, 2012 (Matinee) (CN)
VOB
CAST: Zoe Jarrett (s/b Elphaba), Suzie Mathers (Glinda), David Harris (Fiyero), Glen Hogstrom (u/s The Wizard), Anne Wood (Madame Morrible), Elisa Colla (Nessarose), James D Smith (Boq), Nathan Carter (u/s Doctor Dillamond)
MASTER’S NOTES: "Zoe's last Wicked show. Closing Matinee performance in Singapore. Missing two minor scenes - Act 1: When Fiyero enters and knocks Elphie (DTL is still there) / Act 2: Wicked Witch of the East (whole scene) Shot from the right hand side.This has a very clear picture and audio."

NOTES: A solid show; very nice video.
Wicked - Los Angeles - April 23, 2008 (SunsetBlvd79's master, I think)
VOB (no smalls)

NOTES: Marcie and especially Megan are wonderful; JoAnne remains one of my favorite Morribles. This video has mind-blowingly great close-ups, and zooming out and in to capture the action but also emotion; visual quality is clear as sparkling crystal. This could easily be a single-cam pro-shot, honestly.
Wicked - Los Angeles - April 24, 2008 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

NOTES: Teal Wicks and Megan Hilty are very, very, very good here. I love it when understudies crush it, and count TW in.

Wicked - Stuttgart - October, 2007 - Press Footage (Pro-Shot's master)
VOB (with smalls) (SD)
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Lucy Scherer (Glinda), Mark Seibert (Fiyero), Carlo Lauber (The Wizard), Angelika Wedekind (Madame Morrible), Nicole Radeschnig (Nessarose), Stefan Stara (Boq), Michael Günther (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: This is...wicked cool. (Sorry.) It's PR/media day, including some singing staged for the day, reshearsal footage, and a bit from opening night. About 80 minutes long.
Wicked - Stuttgart - May 23, 2008 - Tag der offenen Tür
VOB (with smalls) - LT, 2:1, at my discretion
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik, Lucy Scherer, Mark Seibert, Sabrina Weckerlin, Jana Stelley
NOTES: The Wizard and Madame Morrible host the performance part of a special fan event. Video includes things like demonstrations of the show's special effects (yes, the Wizard does take credit for the bubble) and three songs from the show with Sabrina, Jana, and Mark: W&I, One Short Day, ALAYM...then Willemijn and Lucy come on along with Mark, and we get to see them perform--the only known staged footage of Willemijn and Mark singing ALAYM. Great quality and great fun in a rare (at the time I'm writing this) video. LT, 2:1 trade for wants only.
Wicked - Stuttgart - July 23, 2008
VOB (with smalls)
CAST: Roberta Valentini (u/s Elphaba), Lucy Scherer (Glinda), Mark Seibert (Fiyero), Matthias Dressel (u/s The Wizard), Barbara Raunegger (Madame Morrible), Maike Switzer (u/s Nessarose), Marco Fahrland (u/s Boq), Michael Günther (Doctor Dillamond)
NOTES: Act 1 in 4:3, Act 2 in 16:9--adjust playback settings accordingly. I'm so glad to have a good video with Roberta Valentini, because the popular one (Oberhausen closing night) is mostly head-blocked. Lucy Scherer is so great.
Wicked – Stuttgart – September 12, 2008 (Highlights)
MP4 (SD) - trades as limited, 2:1
CAST: Willemijn Verkaik (Elphaba), Lucy Scherer (Glinda), Mark Seibert (Fiyero)
NOTES: Mark’s last show! Act 1 only, but at least you get to see him with Willemijn. It’s not the best video—shot from below stage level and looking up, stationary cam, no zooms, spotlight washout. Sound is also not great; clear but with occasional overload. Still…Mark’s final, and it’s hard to find video of him and Willemijn. Trades as limited video, 2:1 (or 4:1 audio).
Wicked - Stuttgart - December 7, 2008 (Matinee)

NOTES: A heart-stopping Gutes tun (NGD) is the centerpiece of this overall amazing performance by all.
Wicked - Stuttgart - February 20, 2009

NOTES: Missing most of Wicked Witch of the East. Another *killer* Defying Gravity. If you don't want to take over the world after listening/watching it...The whole video has incredible close-ups, and astounding performances from Willemijn Verkaik, Lucy Scherer (they are so good together), and Mathias Edenborn all. Yes, I rank a lot of videos as "must-see." Put this one near the top.

NOTES: I have the smalls for this now, PLUS the two songs from the evening show that should be traded with it (Popular and W&I). If your copy is missing smalls+extras, let me know and I'll gift.
Wicked - Oberhausen - May 2, 2010 (SunsetBlvd79's master)

NOTES: Beautiful video, filmed from the orchestra with some great zooms but also some medium-shots---NGD looks incredible. The video is in great focus but a little softer than some with a lot of...halfway washout, I guess you'd say? Where you can still see all or most of the facial expression; audio is excellent. Maybe not my favorite Willemijn performance, but she and Valerie are hilarious in DTL when they...dance. Valerie does a fun Popular, too!

NOTES: Final performance for Willemijn in Germany. Includes an amazing, do-not-miss-this addition to Popular. (Yes, I definitely have sabrinafan's master now, through the help of some lovely people.)

NOTES: Same show as above, same hilarious addition to Popular, different master. This video is better overall--much steadier--but there is a little more washout.

NOTES: Ooh, I am glad my "replacement" boot with Anna Thorén is a video. I don't love her voice, but her physical acting is excellent

Wicked - Russia (Non-Replica) - October 28, 2019 (Opening Night) (House-Cam's master)
MP4 (HD)
CAST: Unknown
NOTES: Unofficial production, semi-replica (...I won't spoil it), some of the songs are changed a little, nice performance from Elphie here! This video began life as a YouTube rip. Normally I wouldn't list it. But in this case, I figure there are two types of people out there: people who wouldn't want it regardless...and people who want it regardless.
