Grateful Dead ’83 MSG to Lake Placid Mini Movie

With all due respect, using phases like "immensely never heard-like before, remastered versions" are disingenuous, at best. There are plenty of A+ audio sources for these shows.

I realize you put a lot of time into these, but aren't these like edited (read: partial) shows with audio that is readily available with NO video of the band's actual performance?

The video of being "continuously in-flight, without touching down for over an hour a thirty- minutes and end up safely back in New York City" is irrelevant to the actual concert other than both being within the borders of the State of New York.

>> Let me take the time to share a little about me - <<

Pass.

All I want to know is the relevance of (someone else's) drone footage cobbled together with bits of (someone else's) live art?

LOL. Wow, glad I didn't click that link.

Thank you. It all makes sense now.

Who doesn’t this guy know?

Jerry preformed him a private Sugaree.

He invented Apples.

Bluelight I am a fan of your videos keep em coming! I'm jamming the Mule show you sent me as I type from 2017 Great South Bay Music Festival.

Your contributions are appreciated by this Zoner and fellow New Yorker who now lives in America's Finest City AKA San Diego for sure! . 

a guy can't produce a labor of love without being shit on around here. simply amazing yet predictable

Hillman this isn’t some labor of love pet project.  This is an official Warner Brothers movie that is being released on YouTube and Homeland Security is monitoring.

Give the guy some credit.

I agree, Hillman. It's sad; a bunch of cranky people who find something uplifting(?) in putting other people down.

Is Home Land Security different than Homeland Security?

That was a cranky post, Judit.

I applaud the efforts of Charlie Miller for his re-mastered soundboards, Hunter Seamons for his matrix mixes (and voodoonola for curating all the fine GD videos) . All take a similar amount of time, energy and expertise to their craft. I look forward to any of their new "releases" and typically value the upgrade.

I was asking bluelight what the connection was. A few select tracks upgraded with some scenic video (film!) is a novelty, and I'm glad you and others like it. It's just not what I would consider an upgrade.

>>>>>in which you are continuously in-flight, without touching down for over an hour a thirty- minutes

minute 24 the footage goes black for twenty seconds then video of a drone taking off begins

That was edited out by home land security

In the words of Jimi Hendrix Blah Blah Woof Woof 

Keep the videos coming Bluelight 

Bring it, Bluelight, bring it!

Are you planning on getting the NSA involved here, Bluelight?

>> Are you trying t be funny of just trying to antagonize me?

I dunno. Does one of things lead to me being waterboarded in some black site shithole in Syria? 

I'm a little bit confused with the Warner Bros situation, Bluelight. I thought all GD songs and performances are administered by Rhino these days. 

I got to warm up for Marcia Ball once (real sweetheart), so I'll vote for the tattoo!

Figured out the answer to my question above. I didn't know that Rhino is owned by WB. 

Carry on. 

As you can see in my post right before yours, Bluelight, I was able to find out the same. Although I often do business with labels, I have never done any work for WB in any capacity, thus my lack of due diligence on them. A little web searching and it all became clear. Thank you for taking the time to answer me though. I really was confused about that when I originally posted. 

And peace to you. 

>> Who doesn’t this guy know?

Based on his demeanor I'm gonna go out on a limb and say at least one estranged wife.

>>>Well then let me spell this out for you. Please digest what I am telling you as I will not cover again

Is this an inopportune time to request a friendly tl;dr on that monster from 10:26, Bluelight?

This is why I never post my movies here

sorry BL 

I did some hang gliding over California a few years ago and edited a mini movie of my flight. I love it. Check it out.

I just got a message by way of carrier pigeon that my reddit account is being shut down.

What have you done, Bluelight?

I bet that r/pigeon had emo bangs. 

my youtube channel's just a bunch of mining crap, shot thru a shitty camera, with lots of mistakes, and dirt and rocks and shit...   well, don't think any of the bear scat has actually made it yet, but I do have chipmunks stealing cheetos in Montana!  Little bastards!  

I like seeing Manhattan overhead but the switch back and forth from night to day to night was too fast and annoying. put the day shots together and the night shots after would be better.

if you could set it up with Lidar, that would be amazing 

My hope is that this can be a learning moment for everyone and we can go stronger as a Viva community.  Peace and irations to all.

Lollol

Bluelight - My wife and I really enjoy the projects you've put together for all of us.

This one though, is our favorite.

The amount of passion you have shown is truly felt.

Thank you!

>> This one though, is our favorite.

Mine, too.

For what it’s worth I enjoyed the little bit of the video I saw.  

Just not not as much as the weird non sequiturs, threats, and name dropping.

Keep doing you Bluelight. 

Bluelight...Bluelight... Bluelight....

I picture you pulling week-long all-nighters in a darkened editing suite in some NY studio, neurotically and obsessively syncing up old audio that someones else recorded, with video that someone else shot, doing lines of bad coke off the console, muttering to yourself between gritted teeth, how this is the greatest art any deadheads have ever witnessed, while simultaneously trying to reach your old college roommate in LA  (who used to be a successful record producer in pre-digital times who politely takes your calls and then sets the phone down next to him while he is busy being serviced by his over-priced escort), while you manically rant into the phone, that you, and only you, deserve to have the only high-definition Dead montage on YouTube with an "officially sanctioned" soundtrack.

If you are going to be an artist instead of a tech savant, it's time to act like an artist.

Just make your art and put it out there and shut up about it. 

Some people might like it. Some people might not. Some people will  be indifferent. It's not your "job" to react to how the audience reacts to your (hard) work.

Many artists go thru the "justification stage." But you will find the creative process becomes less of a struggle when you lose the ego attached to how talented you are and how good you think your work is and how exceptional and unique this work is --- in other words, stop taking yourself and your art so seriously. Relax. And go make more art.

As long as you are enjoying yourself and being personally fulfilled -- that's all that really matters.

How dare you write such a reasoned, thoughtful, and well-intentioned while simultaneously humorous response, Alan? 

How fucking dare you?

Glad to be of service....Listen, I was the guy who invented electricity (ok....actually I worked for him) and any more lip from you and I'll call him and he will pull the plug on your entire town based on my say-so.... so no more posting GIFs on Viva -- they give me seizures

Truth Alan...   sometimes those negative reactions are my greatest stories from a non-storied (wannabe) career...    doing a jazz trio, and having 3 live shells in the guitar case set out for tips. Or comments at an acid fueled party like, "they sound just like the Grateful Dead, I HATE the Grateful Dead",  or of the fusion band, "I hate your music, but you play it very well",  and the truer disasters I'll save for another time.  

I have to admit, the pre-digital age was more fun, the post digital age way more interesting, even fascinating!  

Great work Bluelight, keep it up, and you've got my support!  But if I dive into your work, you'll get criticism too...   but have fun, and don't take yourself (or others) too seriously

We're all just bozos on the bus

I feel like this has been a healing thread for the group.  Though there will still be those who to try to divide us.  I think ya’ll know what 6roup I’m talking about. All we can do is continue to encourage them to participate positively. Come on in and join in the healing 6uys.  We’re learning how to laugh at ourselves.  It’s okay if you have low t, or poor fashion sense, or are constantly wrong.  You’re still valued members of the community.

Gentleman, I'm sorry if I sounded anti-drone video. Not intended.

Honestly, It gives me a little vertigo. I mean, what am I ... Mary Poppins flying to a Dead show?  George Jetson in his little mini-air scooter? A dead spirit?  A Google map cursor?  Personally I like the old-school fractal kaleidoscope stuff on my WinAmp 98, but I do appreciate the time and effort that resulted in a very high-quality vid. I do.

I certainly didn't mean to sound harsh, but there's nothing worse than a whiny artist  (well, ticks are worse). So anyway.. the lesson is, make art and put it out there and fuck what people think and quit being whiny and go make a better one and maybe next time you will expand the creative process to include more original source material so you don't have to spend so time dicking around with the "legal" stuff and have more time to make more art!

[I'm on cold medication. I rarely take it but my nose is running like a DelFest derecho (that's a real weather term...a kind of mini-tornado). It gives ya a wierd buzz. I'm going back to sleep now.]

Good tunes up in there OP. There is just a certain something something about '83. Band on the run. 

Fun Fact: Back in college I worked at a state of the art recording studio, called Longview Farms, located on a working farm in central Mass. It was one of the first modern studios where the artists could live and relax, while working. Packed with the latest analog gear. Being close to Boston, it was the home base for the J Geils band.

I was hired as the night manager - which means I had to show up after dinner and work through the night until the first staff arrived up in the morning. My first job was washing the pots and pans left over from the in-house chef. Then I went over to the studio and helped prepare for the night's recording session if there was one. During the session I was the go-fer. As the session was winding gown, I had to hurry over to the rec room and prepare it -- make sure it was clean and the bar was stocked (I remember it had one of the first big screen projection Novabeam TVs available) and some pin ball machines. If there was no recording going on, I would work on some project -- setting up new equipment or something. Or just bullshit with the musicians. making sure they were happy.

When the musicians finally went to sleep, I became the janitor, which means I had the run of the whole place by myself. I looked forward to cleaning up the studios because I could scavenge and claim whatever powder and weed was left around. I was trusted enough to operate some of the equipment, so I brought in my Dead tapes to play over the studio monitors while I wound cables, put away instruments, and vacuumed. Cool job.

The barn on the property which housed the B studio, was the tallest structure in that part of the state and I used to climb up to the cupola in the middle of the night and puff and eat the Pepperidge Farm cookies that I stole from the food locker (they were a new delicacy back then). Being a starving college student, I may or may not have liberated prime cuts of meat and other goodies from the food locker to share with my roommates.

One day, while I was exploring the tape vault, I ran across a box of 2 inch master tape labeled Wake of the Flood outtakes. I don't know how it got there, since this was about 5 or 6 years after that album was released. To this day I'm pissed at myself that I never dubbed a copy, which I could have done with the help of the recording engineer (as I wasn't allowed to work the Studer reel to reel machines).

My final job of the "day" was to build a fire so that there would be a roaring blaze when the first people awoke. Then I could go home, which meant back to class after working all night and then often waiting in line at the gas station since the entire country was having a gas shortage. Needless to say, I couldn't keep this schedule up for long, so I had to quit, even though I was on track to be the engineer's assistant. If I had stayed, my life certainly would have been much different.

While I was there I watched (among others) Path Metheny and Lyle Mays record the main tracks for American Garage (mostly in single takes). Sadly for me, shortly after I left, the Rolling Stones used the facility to launch their 1981 tour with a stealth show at SIr Morgan's Cove in Worchester, a local 300 person dive bar located near the college.

That’s a cool story Alan, no way I could have kept up that schedule! 

This is fascinating.

I'm talking about the chest beating, name dropping, defensiveness, vague threats and unhinged responses like the one to tony over a really simple and measured question.

Havent clicked on the vid links.

The creator's demeanor is too offputting and the his whole tone lately gives one the "off meds" vibe.

Atomic Legdrop, actually

Jeeeeeze, I post a cool story, which I rarely do, and the crazy takes over (or maybe it was never gone). 

I'm sorry, but I can't help but picture the comic book guy from the Simpsons when I read these recent Bluelight posts. No offense dude but I don't even understand what you are talking about sometimes. You do make quality vids, I'll give you that. But you may want to go hang out in the park - get some fresh air.  Too much time in any recording studio/editing booth will drive a man bonkers -- it's probably the artificial lighting and sound dampening. 

I'm outta this thread and heading over to a real art thread -- wanna see how the stone guitar turned out?

You have quite impressive hang gliding skills, Slacker.

Nice to see the 2017 ZOTY posting in the meltdown thread.

Blue light, I will never watch any of your videos and will encourage others to do the same. 

Ateix I find your 9/11 videos offensive, for real.
