dalsh327 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The master tape sits in an Iron Mountain vault along with other MTV footage unless the producer of the concert still has it. I don't think VH1 Classic has ever aired the (edited) Ritz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lim666 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 soooooo, we've got a tuesday today! well, at least in New York still. and as the show is IN New York i kinda fullfilled the promise to release it on a tuesday 2014 ;-)Here it is:http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2102881#post2102881GUNS N' ROSESTitle: "Ritz Destruction!!" [Version #2: +1% Sharpness]February 02, 1988 - The Ritz, New York, USADVD Author: Limulus***released Tuesday(!) 12/30/2014 on The Trader's Den***Source:Video: (PRO) Geffen Promo VHS (NTSC, SP Mode)Audio: (SBD) LPCMVideo Transfer:Geffen Promo VHS (NTSC, SP Mode) -> DV/PC -> Vegas 10.0 -> dED -> Maestro -> NTSC DVD, 720 x 480 8,1 MB/sec variable (2pass encoding)(VHS Transfer = Tuesday(!!) May 27, 2014)Audio Transfer:Mixed from several Westwood One silvers (-> EAC/WAV), Promo VHS, "Silver Bullet" bootleg (-> EAC/WAV) -> LPCM to get the best and most complete unedited audio parts.Total Filesize: 4,35gb (hell yeah!!)Set (59:12 minutes):01) Intro02) It's So Easy03) Mr. Brownstone04) Intro/Out Ta Get Me05) Sweet Child O' Mine06) My Michelle07) Knockin' On Heaven's Door08) Welcome To The Jungle09) Band Introduction + Slash Talking10) Night Train11) Paradise City12) Rocket Queen + OutroBonus (5:28 minutes):13) Mama KinNotes:- new release 12/30/2014 (Tuesday!)!- this is some very nice quality from the real classic GN'R! if you're looking for a sweet little version out of the 40 (or so) circulating GN'R/Ritz'88 versions....you better get this one! Near mint promo vhs, very high quality equipment and settings have been used for the transfer and editing. Also exact transfer details known (more on that little later as, writing this info right now, i'm short in time).- HUGE thanks to Troccoli [http://www.troccolitm.com/], the owner from this nice promo vhs, thank you a lot for borrowing and all the waiting time!!!! Thanks a lot to "Rockphantom" for helping out with Westwood One silvers! - no official audio/video in the menus or within the show- intro + menu audio = parts from some more rare drum machine demos; Nightrain, Mr. Brownstone, Sweet Child O' Mine (Pasha 8/1986), all speed corrected.- no commercials within the show- no tv logo within the show- no logos within the show!- motion menus included- show ticket, promo vhs pic and nice stage pic included in the intro/menus- video dED: image centering, 4x black borders editing, small brightness fixing, +1% sharpness filter. no color editing, they're already sooo nice as they are.- audio dED: just synching, crossfading, fading in/out, volume adjustment, NO EQ!- about the audio: there doesnt seem to be a full unedited version, all the different copies do have edits here and there. even the "unedited VHS" circulating has a few "F-word-edits". it appears that Westwood One did multitracks from the show and, in post-show-editing, turned down the volume from the vocal track for the F-words. as a result those parts couldnt be fixed perfectly and will stay so until some high quality release, re-broadcast or leak will happen (which is very unlikely). also it seems that they did mix the show/band in mono but added stereo fan audio with different sound volume on the different releases. that also couldnt be crossfaded perfectly, you still can hear that in some parts, but nothing to do about.- there is about 1-2 seconds video trouble in the beginning of "Rocket Queen" and could not be fixed - but it isnt disturbing at all as no frames got lost, and its wayyyy better than on the Version #1/SA XP transfer (for possible upcoming bootlegs from this "free fan release"....this would be the part for verifying the source)- this was a very time consuming project. i needed 7(!) seperate transfers to get the best (= this!) one out of this more than 26 years old vhs!- Mama Kin is not on the Promo VHS, this "bonus clip" is sourced from an unedited VHS (lower quality) SA SP transfer but mainly overdubbed with Westwood One audio, this song originally was played before Rocket Queen.- This is freeware!- There are 3 versions from this promo vhs: Version 1 = SA XP transfer with compressed vhs audio and wrong resolution video, this is circulating for many months Version 2 = +1% Sharpness (= this one!) Version 3 = No Sharpness (to be released January 06 (Tuesday!!), 2015 on the gnr tracker)- Requests: 1985-1993 GN'R uncirculated video/audio + master/gen1 upgradesHappy Fuckin' New Year, Fuckers!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nambis Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This isn't playing properly on my wdtv (but DVDs always do) - anyone else having this problem?Not sure why this was released in such a dated format anyway. Seriously, who still has a DVD player and burns downloads onto disc to view them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lim666 Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 @nambis:VHS were made for being watched on 4:3 tv. and the best way to digitize VHS still is doing outmaxed quality DVDs, cause VHS simply cant get higher resolution like Blu-Rays (in fact DVD resolution is too much already for a VHS source) you can convert it down to any other format you like!the DVDr plays fine on EVERY dvd stand alone and dvd rom i've tested, you're feedback was the only one not being able to playback it properly....so it might be an issue on your equipment.for the rest of the fans:So, as promised, last day, tuesday(!) Jan 06, 2015 the 3rd version from GN'R Ritz'88 (Promo VHS), the "Non Sharpness-Filter"-version is on free torrent on the GN'R tracker:http://www.chinesedemocracy.com/trac...5813deccc82cc9(you might have to sign up there)whats different?- the 1% sharpness filter (which makes a huge difference in details but also makes the overall image little more grainy) is disabled, so you'll get more of a purist/unedited version imagewise- one audio fix is on there (in the end of "Paradise City" on V.2 i've missed that the silver audio doesnt have the Axl mic throwing sound, so i edited in the vhs audio in that part which had the sound)- little other intro (one other pic + dvd title)- "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is starting 1-2sec more early in the show timeline than on V.2Is it really needed? Well, for the purists i'd say so. i do like the sharpness version more, but didnt want to bury the more unedited image version. you can decide!

Rdeyahlxp Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Can you put up a couple of side-by-side stills of both for easy comparison? Don't really want to download one and find out the other is better and have to download the other one again. Especially since the file size is huge.
