Uncasville 2014-05-17 multicamera mix, dubbed audio, 2DVDs

The day the official "Don't change" video was uploaded to bs.net was the first indication that someone at Bruce's camp IS watching "fan generated content" as they call it.
Lots of friends and fans of my videos send me a message that day. "Olli, is this your mix? You're working for Bruce now?". No, it wasn't mine. I did a mix of that song before that and after the official bs.net mix I made a new mix but just with fan's recordings and the few pro-shot snippets from the official vid that suited the mix.
I didn't have the masters. Of course, my biggest dream would be to work with the masters and dig in that archive! I can't deny that. Which fan who hasn't the skills to do that wouldn't wish for that?
If it's going to happen or not: In any case, we, the tapers, the sharers and the people who speak up brought a big change to Bruce's release policy. Be proud people! 

Bruce talks about the archival releases:
Serling asked: "What changed?" It was Bruce looking at YouTube and seeing fan-generated content from his recent shows, as well as archival stuff. And he was like, 'We can do better than this.
We own the masters!' What's great is, he wasn't saying, 'Fuck those guys. Take that stuff down. Screw YouTube.' It was, 'If this is happening, we should be doing it officially.'"

I hope they are not just talking and soon prove they can do better than LEEDS ;-)
Top notch audience shot footage with pro-shot footage mixed in: That is the way to go and creates the most authentic video document of a concert. Other bands do it, too. They have some of their cameramen inside the audience.

In any case: Hats off to everybody who recored videos at the shows and sent the footage to me and, of course, hats off to everybody who is involved in all the fantastic audio releases. JEMS in particular and hoserama who did the great MSG '09 mixes which for sure caught a lot of attention.
Toby Scott says Bruce watched and acquired some bootleg dvds and they read fan's comments and Toby Scott himself calls some official releases "less than spectacular". 
Another hint for me that complaining is a good thing. Screw the people who always blame me for that. Maybe all the fan's views expressed on forums may be the delay for the River boxset and they learned from the "less than spectacular" releases in the past and now go that extra mile to make it a fantastic boxset?! Maybe just wishful thinking, maybe not!
You know my opinion about the official video releases (only good one in terms of sound, video and presentation: Hammersmith 1975). The others either have awful sound (Barcelona, Houston), are production wise a mess (like LINYC with a completely dull song order, lots of bad transitions and some of the best songs missing! this cannot happen on a dvd release even though the footage was originally intended to be a 90 minute HBO special), simply poor choices regarding which show to release (Hyde Park) or there's other big mistakes like on videos where you can hardly see a thing (Dublin) and videos where you really don't see a thing (D&D Boston).
It is really time to step it up. I have good faith for future releases and I really think we, the complainers and the moaners and the people who show what footage fans can create, are part of the change.

So, Bruce is open minded and opens the archives.
Follow the man's lead you hoarders. Get your stuff out. Don't sit on hundreds of IEM tapes and audio tapes and video recordings. It is always more fun to enjoy something together.
This Mohegan Sun night 1 video is another example of people keeping their recordings or putting stupid logos on it. This video is fucking awesome as it is but imagine how much better it could have been with additional pit footage from BlackLab, with MagikRat's videos without the annoying logos and with the other footage straight from the master and not from crappy youtube...
Also the soundcheck was IEM recorded. The whole show was. The official soundboard sounds pretty bad on both Mohegan nights (maybe that is the reason why they pulled night 2). But Bruce's voice was really not that bad those nights. The audience recordings by larryrulz and bossman show this.
I am pretty sure my friend the audio pro could have done a lovely IEM/AUD/SBD mix and I think under these circumstances Claudio would have let it slip and allow it to be uploaded here.
So people, think about it. Your videos are worthless when not multicam mixed and so are your audio recordings if you don't get them out, especially IEMs which need a lot of mastering and mixing with other IEMs and AUD sources.

On to the video:

Best USA video bootleg release that comes to my mind. 
American skin...I watched it a dozen times already. Fuckin' A. Racing '78 style, Hearts of stone, The price you pay, Light of day, The ghost of Tom Joad and the four acoustic songs...phew!! What a show.

Bruce's dance with the woman in the front row (man, I forgot her name, I am getting old): Priceless. Please someone who knows her forward a copy to her.
Tenth Avenue freeze-out and Shout: Killer angles here ;-)

Small note: I didn't check the audio sync on the dvd version with AUD audio but the sound should be at all times pretty well in sync.

First time I have been to the USA (not counting a tennis camp trip where I saw nothing but the tennis court). What a great trip!

What's my next upload? Padova. Then maybe Uncasville night 2 but only if Blacklab/ccliffy join in.
Still to come: Milano, Naples, all three Stockholm, both Kilkenny. But all give me headaches and are on hold because tapers don't share their audio or video recordings.
