| J-Card Comment | *A thir13en Production* Yo La Tengo 2006-11-22 ZAKK Dusseldorf, Germany TYPE: DVD FORMAT: PAL @3900 CBR ASPECT: Widescreen AUDIO: Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround MENUS: Main and Track Select RUNTIME: 137 Minutes Pavemalk does it yet again... From their very recent stop in Dusseldorf they gave the crowd a solid 2.25 hours of non-stop musical bliss. If you haven't caught them yet, you can still see them out there and you will want to when you see this. And go buy the new record too, or all the old ones you don't have...go, now, or after this finishes, or burn it to CD, pop it in the car player and go...now. Tech: The difficult decision of whether to make this a two-disc set or not was made a little simpler when I saw a sample of the video at the 4K bitrate, and I was more than pleased with the transfer quality. While 8 or 8.5K would have been nice, it also would have been a rather excessive 9G download, and all things considered I was happy to keep the 137 minutes on one disc in a very decent looking MPEG size. The DV7 was in a proper widescreen mode, the Hi8 was not, so it was cropped to match the DV7. SBD is a nice mix and mostly up front, front CAM covers the front with a slight tilt towards the middle of the room, and the back cam is mostly in the back mix. Again, it's about as close you can get to actually being there, and you can go there as many times as you like, sweet. The back CAM seemed to have a 10-20 ms compression attack-release that was overloaded by the boom-of-the-room. I controlled what I could but didn't want the "pumping" that competeing compression can often cause. In some spots (like the boom-boom of the kick in the start of "...Hatchet...") you can hear it pump in and out, but really not a big deal. There is no phasing of the three sources. One of the cams had occasional digi-blip skips. Not sure if it was the CAM or the burn to DVDR that caused it. I fixed some but I know a few got through. It's minor. Each CAM cut-out for a tape change, and the front CAM stopped often during the lengthy audience passages at the end of the show. I did what I could to make these sections as flow as consistent as possible. Of the two that occurred during songs, one of them worked flawlessly, the other I did notice a slight change. The audience only passages I didn't worry about all that much. 01 We're An American Band 02 The Race Is On 03 Pass The Hatchet, I Think I'm Goodkind 04 Tears Are In Your Eyes 05 Beanbag Chair 06 Season Of The Shark 07 The Weakest Part 08 Mr. Tough 09 Saturday 10 I Feel Like Going Home 11 Sudden Organ 12 I Should Have Known Better 13 Watch Out For Me Ronnie 14 The Story Of Yo La Tengo 15 Blue Line Swinger 16 Be Thankful For What You've Got 17 Stockholm Syndrome 18 My Pledge Of Love 19 Sometimes I Don't Get You 20 Can't Forget 21 This Is Where I Belong 22 Take Care ============== 13 Source info ============== #1-SBD>FOSTEX-D5>CDR #2-SONY Hi8>DVDR (Front CAM) #3-Panasonic D7>DVDR (Back CAM) Mixed, Rendered in Vegas7 Mastered in Sound Forge8 |
