The Wizard of Oz (to name but one movie!) was shot on 35mm in 1939.
You can hardly call film an HD format!! Film has been around forever and doesn't use lines - 625, 1080, 4K etc - it uses celluloid grain.
Sorry to be pedantic but to say 35mm footage is HD is just a bit odd!! Only now is there technology to scan film into 8k etc...
When 425 b&w came out in the early 60s THAT was called HD!! Haha!!

@ e-man - in fact Offenbach was filmed completely by a local camera crew with only two cameras. The 11:40 min we know (Since You've Been Gone and China Belle) were cut for broadcast on a local TV station. The sound of the video is quite horrible because they cut the films of the two cameras with the two sounds recorded from those cameras, so with each change of camera view you have another (bad) sound. I think the crew never had a proper sound track and probably the film was never really completed.
In Offenbach Brian's voice was very hoarse and he was obviously suffering from a flu or something. It was a real pity because the venue was very small and it could have been a fantastic experience had he not been so ill.

thanks for the info. Didn't know this at all. Would have been all the more frustrating if I knew back then :)
Looks like a tiny place from the footage, so somewhere in this station's archive there might be a complete sweaty gig

Having said that; Albert Hall should still be released, regardless of what some people may think about the drumming / Brian's vocals that night. Some fine tuning can be done in the studio, which is the case on most live releases anyway [/QUOTE]
Maybe just a few tracks on a box set at most.
I remember hearing an audience tape of the show, and even when I was 16 I thought "damn, that was an off night."

On that tour Brian had many problems with his voice...He sounded fine on Gijon (the first date of the tour) but that day it was a very cold one...I CAN TELL YOU! ...Even in September
Sure Brian got a cold here :(

But the resolution of 35mm is equivalent to what we now call HD. Anything shot on 35mm film, going back to the 1910s, can be transferred in as high as 4 or 5k.
It's such a common misconception that 'HD' is somehow a new thing. Its availability in home release formats is what's relatively new.

Miklos talked about the presence of HD cameras in the gig, not film cameras. Then the OP talked about HD cameras being available at the time, so i posted a couple of examples of HD videos in the 90's and some tv reports talikng about the technology, Google is your friend if someone wants to know about HD in the 80's and 90's.

As seen in this thread; Bob Dylan's 50th Birthday gig is on blu ray, using the hd technology spoken about it the clips. Looks really good considering its age and the fact that it's a digital source. I'm sure it was expensive to film it this way compared to a standard def. - but what a treat to have it in such good quality 25 yrs later.
Albert Hall may very well have been shot in HD. But so was Sheffield 2005, and Japan 2005, and Ukraine 2008. No HD release to this day. So who knows whether they'll bother with a blu ray IF they decide to release it

I've just found my ticket from Brian's Albert Hall gig, and it is presented 'with Capital Gold'. As a result of this do we know/think any of it may have been recorded audio-wise by them, or was this just a sponsorship only type arrangement of their s with various London venues to attempt to increase their listenership?

also Montreux festival shows were already filmed in HD since at least 1996, check any recent blu ray release from that period - so my guess it was in HD

Were they are filmed in true 1080p HD from 1996 though, are some of the early ones just upscaled from a lower resolution?

Most probably not 1080p in those times. [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-MAC]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD-MAC[/url]
