| Notes | Grateful Dead September 21, 1974 Palais Des Sports Paris, France Audience video from side of stage balcony - black and white NTSC DVD video from 1/2 inch open reel video master. The video is mostly dark and distant, but the audio is fairly decent audience SQ. The previous seed of this had the audio and video out of synch and Big River was included twice. For this seed the duplicated section has been removed and the audio is now in synch with the video. Accurate chapters and a selection menu have also been added. 00:00:00 - chapter 1 - China Doll 00:05:36 - chapter 2 - Seastones > Space 00:09:56 - chapter 3 - Playing In The Band [last minute only] 00:11:04 - chapter 4 - Row Jimmy 00:19:55 - chapter 5 - Big River 00:24:38 end Info from the previous torrent of this material: This footage came from a bunch of reels that were purchased together. The footage is not very decent black and white video shot from a tripod in the balcony facing the side of the stage. This was not a very stable format so the transfer was very problematic. It is VERY difficult to get a good transfer from these decks. They are very finicky and often times will not play footage from a different type of deck - for example a Sony EIAJ machine can have difficulty with a reel that was recorded on a Panasonic deck. Furthermore, not too many people are out there that do the transfer. The person who digitized this had done transfers for the Dead before on 1/2 inch as well as 2 inch video. He did as good a job as could be done with this footage. This reel was labeled as Reel 1 - It is my hope that there is a reel 2 out there which will somehow be discovered. ----------------------- Lineage: 1/2 inch Black and White open reel video > (unknown transfer specifics) > NTSC DVD posted on Dime > Cinematize2 (lossless elementary stream extraction) > DVD Studio Pro (re-synched audio with video, removed duplicated section, added accurate chapters and menu) > VIDEO_TS file set. Attributes as reported by MPEG Streamclip: Video: MPEG-2, 720 x 480, 4:3, 29.97 fps, 9.20 Mbps, upper field first. Audio: Dolby Digital AC3 2/0, 48 kHz, 256 kbps. The previous seeder had some doubt as to whether this was correctly dated, but it has been verified by matching the audio to the soundboard recording that exists from this show. I did not get very far in an attempt to combine soundboard audio with this footage due to numerous cuts in the Seastones > Space and the fact that some of that section is missing from the soundboard recording and with a vast difference in the sound quality of each source. Enjoy and SHARE! |
