Phish   05/20/1987

The Ranch, South Burlington, VT
Media DVD   1 disc
Notes Menu with song selection. Transferred from a very high generation VHS to MPEG4, synched with an .mp3 source. Great sentimental value, but almost unwatchable beyond that.
J-Card Comment *THIS SHOULD NEVER BE TRADED AS A TRUE DVD WITHOUT LETTING THE PERSON YOU ARE TRADING TO KNOW THE LINEAGE. THIS IS A FAR FROM PERFECT RECORDING, COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT IT WAS MADE FROM MPEG4 FILES, NOT DVD READY MPEG2 FILES. IF YOU ARE THE TYPE WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT HANDHELD VIDEOS (although this isn't handheld) OR OTEHR VIDEO QUALITY ISSUES, DO NOT EVEN BOTHER WITH THIS*

With that caveat out of the way, I, with the help of Marnie, offer up something for the hardcore phans (thats right, fans-with-a-ph fans.)

PHISH
05-20-87
The Ranch, Shelburne, VT

Camera: Unknown (mega-gen analog VHS tape)
Conversion: VCR>Archos AV320>MPEG4 (OpenDivx v4 video, MP3 audio)
Conversion by: Todd Langevin <cliffordball@funkjam.com>

Secured via snail mail, facilitated, and transported via Subaru by Marnie Morris (big thanks), and authored to DVD using Ulead DVD MovieFactory by kaminskc.

I chose to author this to DVD because a) the conversion to VCD represented a significant loss in quality again, and b) the files came in at just above 700 MB, too big for a CD without cutting anything. I added a nice menu with a crowd shot from Vegas taht looks nice. -Chris


Notes: Video is extremely poor due to numerous analog generations but this is still a MUST SEE for all phish fans. The audio is very clear (even though it was used from an mp3 source). Enjoy!!
This is a fucking classic show, you even get a brief glimpse of Marley during Antelope. Good old family get-together.
