This volume showcases a new reconstruction of the famous 1965 Shea Stadium concert. Okay... so what makes this different to the other 3000 Shea dvds out there? First of all the video quality: the source material is derived from the new transfer of the 1979 BBC repeat which was previously featured on First Play At Shea. Colour is stronger and more natural than previous versions. The thirty minute concert has been re-edited into the original performance order, with the two missing songs and all the extra in-between song chat re-instated. The extra audio has been wedded to audience shots and other material taken from the earlier part of the original tv special, plus footage from other sources. The audio is of course the original live audio, not the overdubbed audio which was actually recorded in 1966. Additionally, the poor visual continuity of the original film has been fixed. In the tv special there are frequent cutaway shots showing Ringo playing the wrong cymbal, George playing the wrong guitar, John playing chords when he's supposed to be doing something else, empty mikes when voices can be heard, etcetera. No material has actually been cut; instead many of the cutaway shots have been re-arranged into a more sensible order so that they don't jar visually. For example, a long shot showing John playing Dizzy Miss Lizzy was original cut into the song I Feel Fine... now it is where it should be. Shots of John playing the intro to She's a Woman have been restored to that song. Out of synch shots have been nudged back into place and the title sequences re-edited to provide a more traditional start and finish to the concert. Also on this volume is an upgrade of the Granada tv spectacular 'The Music Of Lennon And McCartney'. This appeared in pal on a previous disc - here it is in ntsc. Additionally in late 1965 and early 1966 the guys videotaped a series of black and white promotional videos distributed by NEMS to interested parties. These can be found in their entirety on the Unsurpassed Promos series and for that reason are not included here. |
First at all, you need to understand, all those DVDs are rare stuff made by fans with home software and equipment, of course nothing offer on this site is compare with original DVDs, the quality varies on each titles. EXAMPLE: I recorded a broadcast in 1978 and I saved the tape in my basement for 30 years and I found the tape and I decided to put the video on DVD, no video remastered or audio, I just put on DVD; you can imagine the quality right? Of course is not gonna be really good quality or HD, this is the parameter for this kind of DVDs, not all are bad, not all are good, but you need to keep in your mind, this is rare stuff never released on original DVD, the quality is very different on each DVD, in this site you gonna find very good stuff and low quality stuff, that’s why is very important check it out the quality rating, is a tool to give you an idea about the quality, we have old DVDs with very good quality, and old DVDs very low quality, or new stuff HD and new stuff with no good quality.
The HD era change many things and now DVDs than before in 2003-2009 was rated 9.0 or 9.5 now are 8.0 or 8.5, now everything is HD but in the past was not like that, you can see original DVDs from 2000-2008, watch it now on a big screen and look low quality, that happen with many of our DVDs.
