COMMENTS

 

It's been a long time comin'... but now it's here. After spending more than 13 years into someone's vault, this profesionally shot TV special sees the light of day. Great effort has been made by the 'Uber' team project and the final result is incredible. For many fans the 'Human Touch / Lucky Town' tour may not be one of the best (how can not we miss the E street band?), however this amazing DVD bootleg should be added to any collection.

 

 

Technical information:

 

Audio info: Raw TV Special tapes DVD dump. Some click/pop removal, specially towards the end, light noise reduction, some light compression to even out source differences, cleaned up transitions between sources and normalized in Audition 2. Finished wav files split with CD Wave 1.95.1 and compressed to FLAC with FLAC 1.1.4 trough FLAV frontend 1.7.1. Tags added with MP3Tag 2.37a

 

Video info: Video has gone through a lot on it's way from the original XP mode transfered source discs. Here's a quick lineage/effect chain. More of a effect chain since some of the steps hare lossless while others of course are lossy. But the original did need cleaning up. original mpegs->patched aspect ratio header from 16:9 to 4:3->cut out each different segment that had differently placed letterboxing->cropped out the letterboxing in Avisynth->Ran the Avisynth script trough an addaptive deinterlacer script->fed that progressive video to a upscaler/resizer to get 720x576 anamorphic video->Huffjuv AVI-> Cinema Craft Encoder SP2 at 8000kbit/sec constant bitrate->re-merged the segments in Womble MPEG VIdeo Wizard-> authored in DVD Lab Pro 2
