Notes

Audience shot from left hand side of stage. No close ups and mostly, only Polly and Rob are ever in shot.
There is some evident tape wear before transfer to DVD. Occasional heads cross the camera but this
doesn’t really detract from the show. The Audio isn't the best but ok.
Enjoy and Happy Christmas :)

MELVINS

2007-04-08 Hamburg, Knust

Format: PAL
Ratio: 4:3
Video: 4500 kbps (average bitrate)
Audio: AC3
Length: 115 min.

Video source: Camcorder installed at balcony of the club
Audio source: SBD (with ambience mikes added i believe)

The Knust club has a DVD standalone burner and can record shows directly onto DVD
if the band is into it; unfortunately the setting for audio recording is AC3 and not PCM -
but it still sounds VERY good (although as with most Melvins SBD recordings Buzz'
guitar could be a little louder...). The video is a steady shot from above. No zooming.
I received a copy of the original DVD from this show, which had no menu and only
automatic chapters every 10 minutes or so, so i decided to re-author it with
proper chapters and a basic menu.

DVD authoring done with DVD-lab Pro 2.

Contains the complete MELVINS set as well as the complete opening set by BIG BUSINESS.

BIG BUSINESS:
Hands Up
Shields
Grounds For Divorce
Just As The Day Was Dawning
