Live in Buenos Aires 1981 [Chief Mouse 2016 Edition]

Hi!

Sadly the quality of the tapes (U-matic ones) is not the best :-(
But anyway i`ll post some samples in a couple of days. I guess is important because it´s unedited footage.
I still have to digitalize another Betacam but that´s time is hard cause the reel tape inside is broken (cuted) and i have to fix it first. It´s from a tv station (mostly for TV reports) and if it is a half of intresting that the first one... well i´m done :-)

When you say quality is not the best do you mean the tapes are in bad condition or they are not master copies?
.....and if by cuted, you mean cut, that is easily spliced.

Those TV reports maybe shows different nights (I mean, not only the known Buenos Aires footage). Maybe it shows footage in this format:   Or maybe, in this format:

I wrote "cuted"? Fuck, i mean cut yeah.

Mmm what do you mean with "Master"? I´m always thought QP has the master, and all the tapes arround there are copies of that master. Anyway I mean my U-Matics aren`t in the best condition... Well, at least I expected something better in terms of quality. Although they are intresting anyway. I´m happy to have that footage in my hands :-D

But the tape that is broken it`s another tape (A second Betacam SP) and has nothing to do with the U-matics. I`ll fix it soon.

The content of the second in the quality of the first

What did you tried to say there?

God I sure hope one of those tapes has footage from one/both of the other Buenos Aires shows. All three were filmed so I don't know why the second night is the one that always gets used, especially considering the third night is better. Even if its just that clip of AOBtD, I'd be happy cuz I've never seen it.

As far as i know from last night they only recorded bits of AOBTD on video

By master copies I meant copies of the master. They should still be broadcast quality, are you saying they aren't? If so, perhaps it's the hardware you are using to play them on. Samples would be good.

Now i got it!Two of three are definitely copies of the master and the third it´s a copy of the "famous" re-broadcast of the second gig.
So as you said samples would be good! I suspect of the U-matic player too

Is the U-matic player ok with other tapes, or is it just your ones that don't look good?

Double post

Here some pictures: Later i`ll upload some video samples. As you can see quality isn`t the best :-( I think the audio it`s good. I´m looking foward for the second Betacam.

Quality looks pretty good to me :P
Thanks :)

Yes, very nice quality...
