[6:09] - 01. [untitled]

Though the video itself does not seem to have a title, the following is printed on the label:

DuArt Film And Video
New York, NY 212-7574580
Live Lancaster 11/96
CR#:4-5 12/02/96
Length :6:09
ADDRESS TRACK/VITC
ACTION FRUNT UNLIMITED LTD

This tape contains raw video-only footage from Live's first photo shoot for 'Secret Samadhi' back in 1996.

It is possible that this video is the exact same video as the American promo VHS simply called 'Live'. This is likely since it's not uncommon for an untitled release to be refered to as the band's name.

A strange thing to note is that, despite the front cover and the cassette itself giving an issue date of November 4th, 1997, the tape itself begins with a few seconds of text on the screen. Part of this text mentions that it was recorded on November 17th, 1997.

The tape goes blank for a few minutes in between tracks 3 & 4, 5 & 6, 6 & 7, and 8 & 9. These blank parts are where commercials would normally air on a network.

Total running time is 57 minutes and 50 seconds.

It is possible that this video is the exact same video as the untitled American promo VHS containing video-only raw footage from Live's 'Secret Samadhi' photo shoot from 1996. This is likely since there is next to nothing known about this video, and it's not uncommon for an untitled release to be refered to as the band's name.
