An Oldie, but a Goodie!!!

Hello everyone,

I just got a hold of a video of Underworld from the Rainbow 2000 festival in Shizuoka, Japan in 1996! I just put it up on www.darktrain.jp for all to enjoy.

Maybe I`ve been living under a rock, but I have never seen this before and it is the oldest/longest MKII live video I have ever seen!

I am kind of new to video editing, and the original wasn`t the best quality to start with, so the quality vs. size ratio is still a bit low. I`ll play with it some more this weekend and try to improve it.

In other news, I have nearly finished a new section of the site called "Underworld; Live in Japan". The layout is essentially the same as uwlive.rowla, but with a Japan-only focus (and a lot of the data is in Japanese too). Added to this will be links to photo galleries for every show where they exist. I would eventually like to add fan recorded audio and video downloads (including the video above), but as I go through a hosted web server there are bandwidth limitations, so I`ll have to see how this pans out first. And of course, there is the tracker and YouTube for this purpose as well.

Anyway, I have created a gallery for the Oblivion Ball, Tokyo show here: www.darktrain.jp/thumbs.php?galleryid=19

I`m going to be adding a few more photos to this gallery soon.
Until then, enjoy!

Matt

My sentiments exactly!

Sorry about the video quality, but it was the same size and pretty much this bad to begin with. It seems to have been made for some local TV channel in Japan. If anyone else wants to have a go at compressing it, I would be happy to share the original. Just let me know!

The pics were taken by my friend Scout with a Nikon D80 and a Nikkor 80-200mm Telephoto zoom lens.

The site bandwidth is going through the roof this month, but after it settles down I will add more pics and videos
