I've still not got round to trying to watch this yet (my computer is so slow these days I'd have to set aside an hour or so to let the thing load & be able to watch it smoothly) but going from memory of seeing other bands perform on The Beat around that time- I always thought the performances (Carter USM is one that springs to mind) as basically coming across as sound check type run-throughs of tracks that are recorded & put out on telly. I don't think I ever saw a properly good performance on that TV programme that wasn't an actual live gig, with audience. The festival stuff they put out was pretty much always top notch as far as I remember.
