Leo! Good to see a post from you on Queenzone! How are you?

YourValentine wrote: You are right. But it will still be so much easier to sync the master with Bob's audio because he did all the identification of the songs/parts of the songs.

Bob also has it. Please look at my previous mail I posted. Bob Wegner provided it to Pikko Luca

Big obvious sync difference towards the end(looks like wrong verse Bob)

Shame about the high pitch squeal on the audio for some of the clips and i noticed a squelch or 2 on others.

YourValentine wrote: I think this is the best possible result syncing a mute video with no clues where the recording was cut and without having the actual concert sound - not to mention problems like different tape speed. The video quality is not the point because the audio would fit to any better generation as long as it's the same video. Compared with the old sound this is a 1000% improvement. Well done, Bob.

I guess I need to get my act together and hook my primitive equipment back up and see if I can help you out with any recordings.

You and I both, my friend.

Hmm, I believe I replied to your last email regarding your collection, yes? Hope to hear from you soon about that.

Just because I gave him a few screenshots doesn't mean I actually own the master copy. It's common to provide screenshots during trade negotiations, but that doesn't always mean the trade was completed.

Hmm, do you want to do the Berlin 79 and Rotterdam 79 videos? I'd be happy to be relieved of my duties..! I could send you the audio, video, and song listings of each video for you to begin with.

Sir GH<br><h6>ah yeah</h6> wrote: This is an 8mm video from the A Day At The Races tour which has been circulating as a silent 12 minute video for decades (and sometimes as a 22 minute video with 10 minutes repeating). As was common at the time, it was filmed by a camera without audio capabilities. One day a couple years ago, I was watching it and I started to pick out which songs were being played. I then decided that someone needed to synch audio to it. After drawing straws with Tilomagnet, P_G, and Lester Burnham (joking, joking!), and after plenty of trial and error, the whole process took a couple months for me to finish, and to this day I'm still pretty happy with it. For decades, this video has circulated as "Los Angeles 3-3-77". However, the 8mm master reel was recently found, and it was labeled simply as "The Forum", but with a Quebec mailing address on it. This leads one to believe the video was actually filmed at the Montreal Forum, not the Los Angeles Forum. The Montreal show was on January 26, 1977. At the time I synched the audio to the video, I was still under the impression that the video was from the Los Angeles 3-3-77 concert, so the majority of the audio is from that show. But since the LA audio is only an hour long, I had to take some bits from a few other shows. Most of the audio had to be speed/pitch corrected to match the speed of the video. Since the video is only 12 minutes long, they're only portions of the songs (film was pretty expensive back then!). The audio is from LA 3-3-77, unless otherwise indicated: Tie Your Mother Down (College Park MD 2-4-77) Ogre Battle Somebody To Love Killer Queen You're My Best Friend Bring Back That Leroy Brown Brighton Rock White Man The Prophet's Song Bohemian Rhapsody (Seattle 3-13-77) Stone Cold Crazy (New York 2-5-77) In The Lap Of The Gods...Revisited (Seattle 3-13-77) Now I'm Here (Seattle 3-13-77) I'm well aware that this video isn't the best possible version it could be. Back when I did this, I didn't have any software to do this kind of editing in lossless DVD quality. I did it with GoldWave and TMPGEnc. So, maybe one day I'll create a better version, perhaps with Seattle as the prominent audio source. But for now, here's the 8mm video from the ADATR tour, presumably from Montreal, with audio mostly from LA (all 3 parts, compressed in .rar format): link link link Enjoy!
