My Fall project is done.
 

CAUTION - GRATUITOUS SELF CONGRATULATION AND SHAMELESSNESS AHEAD.

So, we played a show this summer and did a 10-camera shoot, multitracked with an audio truck, for possible DVD release. The original intent was to record the whole show and take the best 90 minutes or so. Since, in my other life, I mix records, I got hired on the side to also mix the audio.

Well, after we recorded it, we decided to just go ahead and release the WHOLE 3 hour, 5 minute show; which includes a dual-layer DVD and two CDs.

So, I mixed the whole 3+ hours in stereo and 5.1. Took about 250 hours in front of the computer.

It turned out ok; I don't really think I would want to watch ANY band for 3 hours, but it's a 'hardcore fan' kind of product. There isn't really anything else these days.

It is pretty interesting because since the show was so long, it starts in the afternoon and gets progressively darker every song. Fun for the viewer, nightmare for the Video guy.

But, it's off to print and will be back in January for our winter trips. :D Didn't make it in time for Christmas, though. :mad:

Anyway, here's a crappy youtube clip, if you're interested. The audio is in mono, so you can't really get a full grasp on my magnificence.

Now, I can mess with cars and stuff. The motor's going back in the '72 in the next few weeks, with any luck.

The nightly leftovers from the lead singer/guitar must really be something!

Just kidding, looks cool!

Do they still have the giant torches around the tops of Red Rocks?

I think that was a one-time kind of thing. June 5, 1983.

Looks very cool, Jeremy! I actually love live concert video. I like to play it when we have parties here at the house...much better than just music playing in the background. I'd like to have a copy of BHTM for sure.

Will we be seeing you in KC this year? Hope all is well. Good luck getting the '72 back together!

JA

I've done that with images, and I know what it feels like. At some point, you're so lost in the process that you loose track of where you were and where you're going. I've put 60 hours into a single astronomy picture. It puts things into perspective ;)

That looks great Jeremy. Sound good too. ;)

I'll be buying a copy at your Delray Beach show. We are going down with our son and some friends with their daughter.

I might be able to get by with the Mazda of death if you interested.

I check in here once a week or so. I will keep my eye out for any new info.

Nice work

I do the same thing, it's always a good fallback.

OHHHH U play music...which one is Todd?

The one with the "Big Head", silly man! :D

Randy

Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing that!!

JLH would be proud
