Stevie's Chicago Blues Festival performance was a short, but very powerful performance. A video of the performance has been gathering dust because the 'ear bleed' audio on the video made it unlistenable. However, the recent seeding of an FM performance of the show has enabled me to mix the high quality audio to the video. While the result won't win an academy award, I was so excited to experience the first results after mastering this up. The mixing of these two sources has truly breathed an incredible life into this performance, at least to my eyes and ears. By having both the visual and audio to simultaneously assault our senses, we get a better sense of Stevie's performance on that night...and, in my opinion, it was just HUGE! On a technical note, this video isn't the best quality for the eyes. However, the FM copy makes it really nice on the ears. If you're seasoned at watching amateur video's or interested in catching one of Stevie's really great night, then by all means download this because there's not all that many video's that truly capture Stevie in this form...El Mocambo comes to mind. I don't want to imply that this video compares to El Mo, but many folks will understand when I say that sometimes even poor video's can still enlighten and enthrall when you look past the imperfections and soak up the performance value alone. You can do this so much easier now that the nice audio is synched to the below average video. So, with that preamble, if I could offer a somewhat biased suggestion, if you do consider yourself remotely to be a Stevie purist, then I think you'll really enjoy this video in spite of its warts. There were times in Stevie's life where his presense and performance were not to be denied and, frankly, I think that Stevie's incredible performance cuts right through all of the warts of this video. I've included DVD artwork with this torrent in both regular and thinline versions (My DVD collection is getting large and I'm becoming partial to the thinline DVD cases.) If possible, I'd like that the artwork remain integral with the DVD, since I designed the artwork to be consistent with the DVD design. This video was a huge undertaking. I've had this video in my collection for many years now and it's never seen the light of day because the audio quite literally hurt the ears. Several months ago, this FM recording surfaced and I set it in my mind to mix the FM with the video. This is my first try at this and little did I know and understand the challenges of such an undertaking! However, it was a fun project and a true labor of love. The results, while imperfect, do resurrect a truly dead video from a short, but MONSTER show. As you'll see, this video is from a hand-held camera from fairly close in the audience. For some reason, the taper cut the tape fairly often but mostly between songs and the tape never stopped rolling for long. The majority of the performance is captured. Over the years, I upgraded my copy of the show twice, but this copy is still a good number of generations down from the master. If anyone has a better copy, please contact me. There were several major challenges to creating a fairly seamless video. By far the biggest was synching the video to the FM audio. First, the video as mentioned was barely listenable, so it was really difficult to figure out exactly what Stevie was playing and when...and then get it synched properly. This was especially challenging on this video because the video is old and has some gens in the lineage, so the tape speed changed ever so slightly in the generational copying from VHS to VHS tape due to tape stretch. Then, since there were many cuts in the video, I had to figure out what to do with the cuts. I ran one version of the DVD where I filled the cuts with screen shots from the VH1 Legends show. This was cool, but it disrupted the visual experience a bit. I ended up electing to recycle some of the video during the cuts. So, watch closely and you'll see the five or so places (ranging in duration from 15 seconds to 52 seconds) during the DVD where I did this...obviously, you can tell those places because the video will not be synched with the audio. However, I think the final result was the best option. It turned out quite nice and provides a continuity of viewing that preserves the feel of the show without interruptions. I felt that to be a high priority because, even though the video isn't great on its own, combining these two together, as mentioned at the beginning, really brought an incredible life to this performance. There was one audio cut in the FM-source tape at the end of 'Say What', so there are a few seconds of silence. The beginning of the video also included some footage that isn't on the audio, so the beginning of the DVD has 15 seconds of silence before the sound kicks in. | |||||
