Since February there has been alot of problems on my blog. Much problems where caused by Uploading and switching to a different file host.
Recently I posted that I didn't knew what to do: to stop or continue (but spent less time uploading)...
Now there is some news again, some very big news!
As you know I am a member of the Live Concert Guide crew. We have been working on a site for some time now. And now thanks to everybody who visited the site we now have our own .com address.
You may think: OK, is that the big news? Well, no.
What is the big news is that on the new Live Concert Guide there will also be a forum. And after much discussion with the other members of the Live Concert Guide crew, we decided to allow live bootlegs to be posted on this forum.
The other members of the Live Concert Guide crew wanted a forum to post stories, news, pictures and self-made videos. But I wanted to include bootleg recordings.
So now you can go to our new Live Concert Guide forum and download or upload live bootleg recordings there. And I really hope that everybody will also upload their bootlegs.
I will write a post on the forum about how to upload files.
I will spent alot of time on this forum and will be spending less and less time here. This is because posting on the Live Concert Guide forum is much easier for me than keeping this blog up to date. At the forum I'm just one of the mods, here I got to do it all alone.
So please please register at the new forum! I already uploaded some new stuff there and did some re-uploading too.

The classic revisited. Along with the pro-shot recordings from the Capital Centre 1978 and 1980, the in-house, black-and-white video from the second night at the Capitol Theatre has been beloved by fans and collectors for more than 30 years and with good reason. Recorded one day after the famous Piece De Resistance radio broadcast, 9/20 in another special show with a looser vibe (the pressure of playing for his entire northeast fanbase on the live broadcast was lifted) and a few key setlist changes, among them "Incident on 57th Street."
While the 9/20 video has circulated among fans almost since the day it was recorded, a number of factors have conspired to undermine its quality. First, there's the inherent problem of analog video, which loses quality with each successive generation. The master tapes for the Capitol Theater were supposedly recorded on a 3/4-inch, U-matic tape format, good for its time, but mediocre compared to the formats that followed. Then there's the camera problem.
The cameras at Capitol Theatre employed auto-exposure control, and, as the veteran video technician who handled this transfer explains, "With those cameras, if the light got low, the cameras would automatically increase gain. But the gain would be the overall output, including blacks and sync. That's why it gets washed out. The black level is increasing. Cameras today don't do that." If you saw the recent sample from this show posted by Wolfgang's Vault, you saw the problem in spades. (And if you're asking, who knows if WV's promised future remastered version of the show will be an upgrade, but since it will only ever be available as a web stream it doesn't really matter).
Couple the camera issue with inferior consumer video tape formats and bad analog transfer chains, and it is no wonder that the best circulating copy (generally considered to be the MilesHai version) is awash in gray, with significant loss of detail, especially from the camera at the foot of the stage. At times, Bruce's face is completely blown out.
To the best of our knowledge, no circulating copy of the 9/20 video comes from a verified generation and this copy is no exception. However, there are two good reasons to believe this is the lowest-generation copy to be converted to DVD. First, the source is a production Beta tape acquired circa 1978-79. Second, an A-B comparison of the uncompressed transfer shows considerably more detail and contrast than previous versions. The result is a materially better picture. The auto-exposure effects can't be fixed, but there is a very watchable result.
Pete took the uncompressed transfer, and utilised Adobe Premiere's Auto Color filter to reduce the impact of the auto-exposure effects. The result is a substantial improvement, particularly to that camera at the foot of the stage. The video was gently compressed to fit onto two DVDs (one DVD-9/dual layer and one standard DVD).
But not before he painstakingly synced a brand new soundboard audio source to the video to improve both sound and picture. A couple of minor patches from the video soundtrack aside, the new audio is sourced from actual master reels recorded the night of the show. JEMS will release the audio in CD and hi-res versions in a matter of days (PLEASE DO NOT CAPTURE THE AUDIO HERE AND TORRENT IT), and we'll tell more of the story then, but suffice it to see 9/20 has never sounded like this before. The Darkness tour may never have sounded this good before.
The new audio source does offer some previously missing bits - "Thunder Road" is now complete, and while "Jungleland" and "Incident" are still cut on the video, the audio is complete and included here. Two patches to the audio were required, the start of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out" and the end of "Twist And Shout". Both utilise the original video audio.
This project has been one of our most ambitious to date, from tracking down the new video and audio sources, to baking the reels, to getting a very old Beta tape to track properly, to hours upon hours of work syncing the audio by Pete (thanks for partnering on this sir; we couldn't have done it without you). We hope you enjoy and appreciate the upgrade.

New site - new guide to live concerts
After working on a new site for weeks (and didn't get what I hoped), I decided to team up with an old trader friend. He was working on building his own bootleg databank and we joined our sites and we would like to present it to you now. We are far from finished but after all this will be an ongoing project.
On our site we will post: complete tour history, recorded live history, artwork, screenshots of video's, sample audio tracks, setlists, show facts and much more. And we want to included as many artists and bands as we can. We will also create our own artwork. There will be many many things on our site that will not be on World of Bootlegs so check the site regularly.
We would like to ask you one thing...
My old trader friend and I both will (and have) spent alot of our free time in this new site. We also work freelance meaning we don't have a steady income. This is what we want to ask you: Please, click one or two ads every time you visit our site. When we make some money we can also say no to a job and work on our site instead. So we will work for the money that comes in.
We don't ask you to donate, just to click one or two ads and that's it. In return you get a great site with lots and lots of info on live concerts.
Well, enough said, here we go:
