Lineage: HD edit for TV program "Underground Live TV" > DVD > HD > authoring with DVD-lab pro 2 > you Original broadcast date: 2007-05-04 "Underground Live TV - LiveMusik von Melvins" Producer: Bernhard Baran, Frankenthal Here we have something very special: a pro-shot multi-camera wide-screen recording of the Melvins with the sound coming from a soundboard feed plus an audience mike. Originally it was shot for and broadcast on a small local free TV station (Offener Kanal Ludwigshafen / Vorderpfalz) near Frankfurt. I received a copy of the original edit for this show from the producer Bernhard Baran, who kindly agreed for me to seed it for all of you to enjoy. As his DVD had no menu and only one chapter I decided to re-author it with proper chapters for each track and a basic menu. So what you have here is very likely the best footage you will see from the spring 2007 European tour of the Melvins. The picture quality is as good as you could wish for. The editing of the various camera angles is also really nice, you get lots of close-ups from all four musicians including some really cool ones of Dale shot from underneath one of his toms. The sound quality is good, although clearly with more input from the audience/atmo mike than the sbd feed. I guess the producers optimised their mix for TV playback - the DVD actually sounds better on my TV set than on my stereo system. Basically, you could say that if the producers had spent a little more time on the audio mix, this DVD would have been good enough to be commercially released. Yes, it is THAT good. The only letdown is the fact that we only get 55 minutes of the show, the first 15 minutes or 4 songs are missing: 'The Talking Horse', 'The Bloated Pope', 'Civilized Worm' and 'Oven'. The whole show was filmed, but then edited down to fit the TV program schedule. The good side of this is the fact that it allows for a high bitrate and PCM sound on this DVD. Tracks: Suicide In Progress Set Me Straight Desert Citites of the Heart Skypup Let It All Be Blood Witch A History Of Drunks Rat Faced Granny The Hawk You’ve Never Been Right A History Of Bad Men The Mechanical Bride The Bit The Ballad of Dwight Fry Outro Line up: King Buzzo - guitar, vocals Dale Crover - drums, vocals Jared Warren - bass, vocals Coady Willis - drums DVD cover art and the German tour poster are included in this torrent, also an MD5 checksum file. Authored & seeded on DAD by surfling september 2007. If you sell this you're an idiot. Share this DVD freely with other Melvins fans. Support the band, buy their official releases and go see their live shows. Enjoy! |
