what is it what brand what type what influenced it's origin?

Charity and I were front and center for this concert twelve years ago.  In fact if the camera were to pan down about a foot, you'd see us standing right in front of Gene.  You can't really tell from the sound quality of the video, but it was truly one of the greatest live shows I've ever seen.  Easily in my top 10.  The band was tight, spot on and the crowd was really attentive.  I remember Gene was really pissy that night.  They started the first song and he kept yelling at somebody off stage and pointing to his monitor and then he just quit playing and apologized to the crowd and refused to play until they got sound issues worked out.  Then when they came back on he played with a really cantankerous attitude- which is probably how rock and roll should be played.  Three years later Gene died in his sleep.  
But now we can watch this again after all of these years.  This is why I love the internet.
