Notes |
Recorded at the Stabler Arena, Allentown, PA, USA. Excellent audience recording. From the info file: David Gilmour Super 8 Stabler Arena Allentown, PA July 12, 1984 (HRV BLU 004) Video: 1920 X 1080 Audio: PCM Stereo Running Time: Approx 16 minutes Featuring excerpts from: Money Run Like Hell Comfortably Numb and Murder (with original audio) Filmed by John Witmer, who I somehow convinced to lend me his original film. A HUGE thanks for filming parts of the show and having faith in this outcome... almost 30 years later! Video Lineage: Super 8mm footage with sound (18 fps) > HD transfer (1920 x 1080 / overscanned / 18fps ) > color corrected and stablized in After Effects (no compression / 18fps) > MPEG-2 Blu-ray standards (CBR 18 / 23.976fps) > Authored in DVD Architect Pro 5 The Super 8mm footage was transferred by Pixcel (https://www.pixcel.com) and saved as an uncompressed Quicktime (1920 x 1080) at its native speed (18fps). I color corrected and stablized the image in After Effects and then edited the project using Vegas Pro 11. The audio (with the exception of Murder, was sourced from the Westwood One transcription LPs. There wasn't any pro-recorded audio for 'Murder' so MOB did the best he could with this song which is featured as bonus material separate from the main video. The original HD transfer is being included in this Blu-ray. Audio Lineage: Original Westwood One Radio Network LP's Gear: VPI Scoutmaster turntable > Dynavector 20XL cart > Sutherland Ph3D phono preamp > passive preamp > M-audio FIrewire Audiophile Software: Adobe Audtion 2.0, Flac Frontend LP recorded at 24/96 to preserve the full fidelity of the vinyl LP's. Transfer by A_L Audio Remastering by MOB Details: - manual removal of some vinyl clicks - removal of the low frequency hum (from the turntable probably) - attenuation of the 16kHz band - careful EQ to reduce some harshness and have a fuller and warmer sound - adjustment of levels Special thanks to Lars, Tim H, Jon R, Robert M, Dr Forrester, Posty, John J, Gonzo, and espesically A_L!
