Before you even get to the disc contents there is the massive benefit that it has been released in the PAL format and not NTSC. Hopefully more labels will continue this excellent idea of releasing material in the original recorded format.

Holland
This material has been out beore but here it is in greatly upgraded quality and its original PAL format. This was made possible thanks to Wogew, who contributed a copy of a tv special broadcast in 1989. This included not only pristine footage of them in Amsterdam and Blokker, but all six songs from their terrific tv appearance in Hillegom. The Blokker concert footage was originally part of a cinema newsreel and thus filmed at 24 frames per second. When telecined for the PAL tv system it was typically sped up slightly to 25 fps. To compensate for this, I've applied a corresponding pitch correction to the audio. The Hillegom footage was not shown complete in 1989. Rather, they showed each song as an individual clip linked by some conversation in Dutch. So I've had to fall back on the old bootleg version to plug the gaps. Fortunately this only involves the opening moments, a few introductions, and a few snippets of songs (the openings to Twist And Shout and Roll Over Beethoven). You'll notice the picture quality change during these moments - as they say, please 'do not adjust your set'! I've also provided a remastered audio option for the Hillegom show, even though the original soundtrack features Paul and George audibly singing along with the records they are miming to. Take your pick. The group also participated in an interview before their performance, which is widely available in wretched quality on a number of bootlegs (The Beatles Take Over Holland probably being the 'best'). With no upgrade available, I decided not to include it here. It will be on a future collection of tv shows. Australia The Beatles' final Melbourne concert was beautifully videotaped by GTV-9 in 1964. Sadly, Epstein viewed the tape after the show and - to the lasting chagrin of future generations - denied them the use of four songs (I Saw Her Standing There, Till There Was You, Roll Over Beethoven and This Boy). The four songs were physically cut out of the videotape, forever consigning them to oblivion. Why Epstein made this decision is hard to understand, since this is arguably the best quality concert footage of them outside of the legendary February 11 1964 Washington gig. A couple of small scraps of Till There Was You and Roll Over Beethoven escaped the razor blade, as well as about a third of I Saw Her Standing There... but not a trace of This Boy. All was not lost though, because the two final Melbourne shows were also recorded to audio tape for some reason, using a near identical audio feed as the videotape (only George's guitar is slightly softer). Poor quality excerpts from both shows were booted in the early 70s, apparently taped off the radio.The complete evening show eventually popped up in 1989 when it appeared on Pyramid's Live In Melbourne and Paris (ten years later the complete afternoon show surfaced on Yellow Dog's Australian Tour 1964). The incomplete concert video has circulated ever since there were vhs recorders, but it was only recently in 2004 that a master quality version became available. This happened when a special, officially sanctioned presentation was made for screening at Festival Hall on the 40th anniversary of the concert. It included the complete surviving Melbourne videotape (including support acts) and a rudimentary reconstruction of the missing portions. A few years later, the master dvd of the presentation leaked onto a torrent site long enough for it to spread amongst the Beatle community. It was soon taken down, but Misterclaudel issued an NTSC version of the incomplete show for those who'd missed it - however their version did not include the reconstructions of the four missing songs. In this new reconstruction I've gone back to the original PAL presentation and made a number of improvements. Firstly, I've tweaked the picture slightly to reduce the video noise - most of this was removable simply by applying a grayscale filter, and the remainder through a small amount of temporal smoothing. I've also completely replaced the audio for the four 'missing' songs. In 2004 the audio for these tracks was taken from what was then the best boot cd available, probably Australian Tour 1964. Since then a much better copy has surfaced on Message To Australia, which I've EQ'd to match the video soundtrack characteristics as closely as possible. The missing video I've replaced with contemporary newsreel footage fashioned into a mini-overview of their Australian tour. This includes footage of them performing in Adelaide (still captures of which were used in the reconstruction in 2004) and Sydney Stadium (not the football stadium - Sydney Stadium or 'The Tin Shed' as it was better known was a boxing ring that was demolished in 1970). Some of this footage is amazing, including their windswept Sydney welcome and the unbelievable crowds that met them in Adelaide and Melbourne. I hope it provides an exciting backdrop to the equally exciting soundtrack of those four 'lost' songs. Germany Though there's been plenty of NTSC releases of the Munich footage, I thought it was about time a PAL version was made commonly available. So here it is. The complete concert appears to be lost, as only six songs have ever been broadcast. Sadly, although there is some newsreel and cine footage extant, there is no complete audio recording from which to make a reconstruction. Hob |
