Beacon Theater - New York, NY 2/25/1997, Secret Samadhi Tour Video Options

[OutToDry]

Ok, I was cleaning up some stuff this weekend and found my missing Live VHS tape that I had been looking for. I posted the last one (9/1995 Jones Beach) in the springtime to lots of fanfare.

I'll have to find some time to get it encoded to a digital file and up it here.

I remember this one is a homeade variety that I traded for a long while back. I think there may be some other videos on it....but there is vintage Lakini's stomping. Hope this puts us in the mood for the anticpated SS Churchbox demos.

This show featured an appearance of Jennifer Charles on Ghost. It's a good video for the time.

No deliverage?

I have to get some time to rip it off VHS. Will try to do over the next few weeks.

[OutToDry]

I am officially working on this today. Ripping it from VHS now. Wait til you see it.

Also see on my tape there is some fillers.

1997 & 1995 SNL performances. I am sure these are widely avaliable through you tube.

There are some clips from Glastonbury Festival 1995. I'll pull those off too.

Ok, have to edit thing for splits and deinterlace.

Here's the notes.


+LIVE+ New York, NY 02-25-1997 (The Beacon Theater)


About this video: I acquired this video in the 1999 timeframe from a trade.
It's a homemade video shot from the balcony of the Beacon Theater. Taper's identity is not known by me.
I understand (from the trade), it's a second generation tape dub to mine which makes mine 3rd. Clarity and sound is decent. Sounds like most Secret Samadhi and Throwing Copper boots. (B/B+) Time: (1:25:01)

Can't wait for this

Would really appreciate it if you could rip the SNL performances as well, as the quality of those I tracked down for my 'Intimate & Interactive' DVD (which is finally coming close to being finished) isn't that great, would be awesome to include the best possible quality on the DVD.

Haven't seen Glasto '95 before so looking forward to that too.

Thanks for all your hard work in getting this to the masses


PS. Are you going to post full dvd files (vob etc) for this or split tracks as mpegs like the Jones Beach vid?

[OutToDry]

I was thinking of splitting the files but I'll try to have one big file if I can upload it to mediafire.

I am not the most tech savvy however.

[OutToDry]

I can't upload this file to mediafire (free account). It's got a 200MB limit per file and the entire file is 2.6 gigs

What's the best antispam share site I can use which allows larger files.

BTW, this is an mpg file and it will probably burn with the standard burn software wo iso files.

[OutToDry]

I've changed course. I placed the file on page 2. It's winrared on megaupload for ealier download and burn.

I am deleting the individual files.

I will create mp3s for this video as well.

I started uploading the individual files here. Looking for a decent place to place the whole thing in one file

http://www.mediafire.com/?a0zg2a9m0hlai

I'd say megaupload is your best bet. I'd also recommend splitting into say 500mb parts using winrar

[Pokey]

I'm not sure whether its just me or a problem with the file, but when they start playing, the video speeds up real fast for about 2-3 seconds and then it just goes in super slow motion for the rest of the time with no sound. wtf?

[dangum]

I've only downloaded 'Rattlesnake' so far, but I haven't experienced any problems playing the file. I've tried VLC and Windows Media Player (Windows 7)

[Pokey]

Yeah I beg your pardon, looks like it's only happening on Unsheathed, Rattlesnake and Freaks work fine though!

[OutToDry]

Im using VLC too, seems ok on my side. Just a note, i'll cut these indivdually then I will chop in 400-500mb segments and load to megaupload per Ridley's advise. Can't say for certain when I'll have it all done but I'll upload the songs as I get them separated.
