Makes you realise how good Ringo was.
Was Rain really the best tribute group Dick Clark could lay his hands on? They not only don't sound like The Beatles, they are just a terrible band with a terrible singer. Synching up Roll Over Beethoven nearly made my ears melt having to listen to it over and over again!
I think the best video quality is DocRobert's dvd version. It runs at the wrong speed of 25fps instead of 24 but this is actually good because it gives clean frames that haven't been telecined and can be put through a film dirt removal tool and then slowed down accordingly. Okay, it's only vhs but it's 14:9 and uninterrupted and the audio quality is also very good (mono). And it's the extended edit. So I'll upload a new version of BOTB with two different soundtracks: the remade one and the original at the correct speed.
There's some fun possibilities here! Aside from using ISHST from the Star Club I think it will be fun to use the Cavern version of Kansas City. The hardest part will be overlaying conversation and audiences over the new audio... but, gentleman, we have the knowledge, we have the technology... we can rebuild him!
May have been true then, but Rain is still out there touring and they have newer members now. (I believe that the Broadway show "Beatlemania" may have morphed from that original line up possibly).Lord Reith wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:07 am I did four songs quickly yesterday and they seem to work okay although synching them to Rain's versions is a bugger because their drummer's timing is absolutely shocking.

So Rain was trying to be true to Pete Best’s timekeeping skills?Lord Reith wrote: ↑Tue Jul 13, 2021 1:07 am I did four songs quickly yesterday and they seem to work okay although synching them to Rain's versions is a bugger because their drummer's timing is absolutely shocking.

He he!
I've suggested to you a couple of times over the years to replace tracks in the AHDN film with alternate EMI or BBC tracks and genuine live concert audio into the Scala Theatre faux concert. You've probably had the same ideas yourself, so I'm not sure why you wouldn't give it a go (apart from the fact that other projects get in the way, as always...!!!).Lord Reith wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 2:14 am I will have a go at dubbing some of the songs and post the results.
I know we've moved on a further three pages but I must pull you on this Mark. Pants are smart trousers/ in Liverpool we also call them Keks. Underpants are called underpants because you wear them UNDER your pants! Simple!MarkRJones1970 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 25, 2021 11:35 pm
Same up here where I am. I'm from Northampton and down there we say GRASS as in ARSE. Up here in the North West it's GRASS as in LASS! Same with BATH. I say BARF, up here it's BAF! And I'll never get used to people calling trousers PANTS up here. Pants are underwear, like UNDERPANTS! TROUSERS TROUSERS TROUSERS! Pants are Y fronts!!!
