  1. so as an attempt to 'discuss' how did watching the video this week compare to simply listening. I found it a much more engaging experience overall but I also love listening to a boot and having your own mind thinking about which guitar Edge is using or where each band member is at one of those times the crowd screams. What about yourselves?

    Well, I can't give a decent opinion since I haven't done that reviewing-with-video experience, but when i read you were going to do it... I loved it. I think the best we can do is offering the option of the video and the audio, and let the people choose between.

    Just like sergio, I didn't do it either...but I can imagine how it was...it is a good idea, and it makes it much more interesting and enjoyable, I'd love it if we could do more of that.

    But...there is this thing that comes to mind. IF we are supposed to review Audio Bootlegs here, watching the video will change the experience.
    I mean, when you see and hear instead of just hearing, you won't care about some of the issues the audio bootleg might have, such as quality issues...because you aren't just concentrating on the audio.

    But if we are supposed to review "bootlegs" in general, some shows have video bootlegs, so we get to review the videos as well...in that case the video (i.e. filming, editing, etc.) should also be mentioned and discussed in the review.

    Indeed. Overall, Ali says that we should modify the parameters of the review. And he's right.

    the videos will be an occasional thing so the reviews will be mostly audio. I like discussing all the audio options of each show. The odd video will kinda muck up the system but I think it adds another dimension to the bootleg experience.
  6. Will the new show be announced today?

    Don't think so, since Dan gave a fewe more time for everyone to say a word 'bout the new system-to-be.

    I did, but seemingly everyone who wants to have a say has done so.

    In which case, we'll go with the new guidelines, as such:-

    1. New show choice is posted (same picking order as present) on a Monday
    2. People can register their interest if they like, but no-one signs up to post a review until they have actually downloaded the show / video and have it ready on their hard-drive/iPod/MP3 etc.
    3. We allow until the Saturday for this 'Collection' phase.
    4. Names will be collated and a summary of the show choice plus active members posted on the Sunday by me (to follow the standard layout).
    5. Those active members then have a week to post their reviews at any time.

    This will of course mean that each show takes 2 weeks.


    It being Monday, here is my choice of show:-

    1983-08-20 - St. Goarshausen, Germany - Loreley Amphitheater

    War 3rd leg: European Summer Festivals
    Rated 5/5 stars here currently, audience recording.

    Those sharp-witted of you will have noticed this is a pre-existing video show also. Hopefully you have it already, but if now; here is the link, courtesy of Gerard:-Loreley Video


    So.

    Who's in for BRT Mark 3?

    Leave your name here once the show is ready to listen/view and please let me know if you are going for audio / video or both.
    List of reviewers will be posted by me on Sunday this week (30th March)
  10. i'm in. One thing, the show is a broadcast (i'll ammend it on the bootleg page). I might re-rip the video with handbrake to eliminate the sync issue I had first time around and also to benefit from the chaptering. Don;t hold me to it though, only if I find the time. I love WAR.

    Thought you might be first. Have somewhat of a head-start. You going to review the audio too?

    Would be good if you can.
