2001.10.27 - New Orleans, LA, USA @ Voodoo Music Festival

Source A: Mini Disc --- MDR-QR33 > Sony MZR-55
Taper:        Adam
Gen:           1st from Master

Notes: Hmm. Ok recording... although not exceptionally superb, technically, it seems like it could've been a lot better had the taper been not next to a bunch of screaming fanatics AKA friends. But, that is part of the fun. The whooo-ing & screaming sort of grates on you after a little while. Very clear sound but a fair amount of crowd talking & whatnot seems to permeate throughout...especially during the beginning.  A chick asks Adam, the taper, if he can see. Farther along in the show, the crowd quiets down & mellows out. It sound to me like the taper was a fair distance away from the speakers & this was maybe  an outdoor gig as wind hits the mics sometimes. Nothing really super-special about it but this is, at worst, a good listen. The pictures on the background are taken by the taper. The setlist is the taper's scan as well, Also, there are different rips, masters of this show floating around. Most are SHN.

Maynardism: "Good-evening. We are going to need you guys to take a deep breath. Ready? In...and out. And then everyone take two steps back...we can all get home back. Two steps back. Cool? Now take another half-step back... now add another half-step."

Source B: Unspecified Video Recording Equipment
Source B: 1st Gen VHS > DVD (Ricky R transfer, 2005)
Taper:        ?
Gen:           1st from Master

Notes: Real quick, this VHS>DVD was transferred on both single layer DVD & dual layer DVD. Both versions images are above for your enjoyment & to see if you can tell a whole hell of a lot of difference. If nothing else, this is a decent video of a performance that for a very long time had only very limited video-access; as in until 2005, video of this performance was not all that common. The camera shakes quite a bit more than is common for this era of touring but this is still a very watch-able performance and recording. Overall, there is more movement than there is stability so in some respect that detracts from the "pop in a video & watch it" vibe but on the other hand, the audio is very, very good for a video source. Sounds like the filmer was using some cardioid microphones with his equipment; everything is very crisp. You may ask why is the source information unknown when this is a 1G? Fact is, to this day, many people still do not keep track of video source information for some reason or another... this is something that we are collectors & tapers can rectify! As it is, overall, not the best video but the pros + cons of this are subjective. Recommended for enjoyment - especially if you were at this performance.
