If it was a separate Pro-Shot to the Video shot we have from LA, that would be absolutely amazing!!
We needs clarification! It's almost too good to be true, if it were a 'new' Pro-Shot from the '75 TOTA

"Is it the lack of graininess that signifies it's videotape, and not film?"
It's mainly the "blinding" effect that happens when a video cam "catches" one of the stage lights : the tube inside the cam goes mad.
You'd never get this problem with 16 or 35mm footage.
If it's the same gear that was used for the taping of the Led Zep Earl's Court'75 shows the video signal was preserved on 2-inch tape like this one :

Too many cuts in LSTNT. Hurts the story, like with any film.

And the cuts are rather amateurishly done. They hurt the already lackluster performance a lot, imo. Add that the sound in LSTNT is nowhere near the quality of SL/Hampton.

The Eagle Rock LA release is from July 11, the Archive audio release is from July 13. The video release has the same sound quality now as the audio release, but it unfortunaly remains one of the worst shows from the 1975 tour (with the 13th being one of the best shows IMO).
Strange thing is that the video images differ from those of the video bootleg, with the video bootleg being much better. The official release has much more images from the back camera (behind the drums) and the camera to the side of the stage, and much less from the camera in front of the stage taking the close up shots. For example Happy is now filmed from the back almost completely, missing out on the glorious strung out junky looks of Keith.

Yeah, it captured nicely some of the extraordinary 1981 tour feel (especially the outdoor daylight stuff), especially to people like me who didn't have a chance to see them alive back then, but it hasn't aged well. Poor editing and poor sound.

I would love to see the complete (or as close as it gets) shows from which the LSTNT clips were taken from.

No matter if it is the 12th or the 11th, the main point is that we have another show from the Great Five besides the show from the 13th in a very good mix. The guitar tone and guitar play in 75 is unmatched in Stones history in my opinion.

I don't know if the 11th show is the best of the Great Fives but I will never claim that it's the worst or even not a good show
I listen to it more than the 13th one.

It's great that we get a show in good quality, and it's great that it is a different show from the archive audio release.
But the show from July 11 is unfortunately not a good show, from what I recall.

But the examples I've already heard from different sources (concerning the 11th) are very good (Star, Star; SFTD; You Gotta Move, Wild Horses).
well it's your opinion.Quote

I've probably listened to the July 11 show the most as well, because of this DVD. It doesn't make the show any better, though...

And, please, imagine this in a perfect mix, another quite good example I think:
