Ca va apparaître sur YouTube dans 1 ou 2 jours et chez Crosstown plus tard.

Voici le message de Kurt sur Facebook:


Royal Albert Hall Feb, 24, 1969 Fan re-master re-release announcement!
Hello Jimi fans, In the late 1990's I created a unique version of the Hendrix Experience Royal Albert Hall video. It was shared amongst members of the "Hey Joe" internet newsgroup. I am now remastering it and re-releasing it.
~ History of this version of the video- Our respected Hendrix historian and general rouge Ray Rae was able to track down the cleanest video copy know to exist outside of the people who possess the actual film. In it's original form there were many things a video editor and Hendrix fan found objectionable. I set about to correct as much as possible.
Here's what I have done to the original RAW video...
~ The original raw video had all the songs out of order from the sequence of the actual concert. I rearranged and corrected that.
~ Many, many quick little video shots were thrown in from wrong songs and even if it was in the right songs it didn't match the timing of the music. I spent days matching every hit of Mitch's drum stick and locating the correct song when a clip was in the wrong song...
~ The original raw video had very muddy mono sound. I replaced and resynchronized all the songs with clean stereo audio (again, thanks you Ray Rae).
~ The original raw video had several songs presented incomplete (missing whole sections). This did not sit well with me so I set about extending all songs to full length. When replacing the audio track with stereo sound I put in the entire songs audio. I then dropped in the video to the appropriate places. The left several songs with large gaps of black (where the missing audio was). I went ahead and created what I felt were appropriate 'new' visuals to fill in the missing gaps of footage. What I came up with was psychedelically treated slow motion and also split screen mirror effects (examples of both below)
~ On the song Hear My Train A' Comin' there were long, long segments of Jimi's car driving around London where you didn't see the band playing. I took the liberty to splice in several shots of Mitch keeping time to the song.
~ On Little Wing the original footage has ocean waves superimposed on top of everything. The original version is quite blurry and washed out. I adjusted the brightness, contrast and colour levels to enhance being able to see the band through the ocean wave effect.
~ The raw original video only had half of Foxy Lady. Once again Ray Rae to the rescue! He got me the cleanest alternate version of Foxy Lady on video that was from a totally different source. I then spliced this new bit onto the existing bit. That is why half way through Foxy lady the video looks different all of a sudden. I figured that would still be far better than only having half the song.
~ The original Royal Albert Hall video has a very orange-brown, washed out hue throughout it. I used colour correcting filters to reduce the orange and wash out into the proper spectrum (more blue etc.). Example shown below (Jimi crouching). I was not able to restore the washed out orange hue to my satisfaction. There are always problems when attempting to correct something inherent in the source material. If one adjusts the orange too severely then everything starts looking blue, green or magenta. Therefore, I had to settle with a compromise.
~ As I started off saying. I released my "corrected version" to fans as a gift in the spirit of sharing. Back then there were no DVD burners so everybody how wanted on received a free VHS. Haha! Several years later consumer DVD burning became available and some kind fellow created a DVD from his VHS copy (including a nice menu etc.). Then, a while later still, a bootleg manufacturing company called 4Reel productions released a version of the Royal Albert Hall for a fee. Well, I was keen to see if this version was as good as mine! I got a copy and was confused. First of all, it included tones of stuff from my version (that I had done). It had all the slow motion and mirror effects I added. It had the second half of Foxy Lady that I added. It had a stereo soundtrack like mine had. It even had all the songs repositioned into the correct order as the original concert. But something was still not right! What was it? Then I realised that the 4Reel version did us all those elements (I listed) from my version however they neglected to correct all the dozens of little clips that were out of time with the music or from the wrong songs altogether! That means this person created his own inferior version for some reason. So, I was furious that this company stole elements of my work (that was done as a labor of love for fans), and started selling it. Don't ask me how, but I was able to reach the person who created the 4Relel version by phone. I told him I was not happy with him using my video for money. He insisted he made the video himself and I was crazy. We went back and forth for 20 minutes in a heated discussion. Finally I said to him “Look at the end of your DVD where it says something like 'By KM.” You see, he included my end credit on his DVD. Hah! I said “Who do you think KM is? It's me! Kurt Max!”. Well, that finally settled it. We got off the phone. I don't know what he did after that but at least I had some satisfaction.
~ For many years now YouTube has had bits of this material (the KM version) and folks have had DVDs of the KM Version, however, they were all coming from VHS copies. This new re-master and re-released is straight from my original digital back up. No extra VHS generation loss. I plan to upload the whole thing uncut to YouTube in the next day or two. I would like to see it shared at Crosstown Torrents as well although I do not go there often and don't know how to go about doing that.
~ To conclude – I hope I live to see the day of an official release.

On attend de voir et ça sera toujours mieux que la vieille VHS pourri que j'avais et même mieux que le DVD aussi   

Il me tarde de voir ça ! Merci pour l'info !

 'déjà sur mon PC...

C'est incroyable comme ces types étaient classes !!! surtout sur les derniers titres avant les rappels...

Fichtre, j'ai loupé le coche

Je viens juste de l'avoir visionner!!! rien d'ajouter par rapport au DVD que j'avais déjà, sauf que les images sont un peu plus nette!!!!!!

Ok, j'ai aussi le DVD (un copie pas trop mal que m'avait filée Philippe Manoeuvre !). Et pour "Little Wing", ça donne quoi l'atténuation des vagues ??

YM

Rien de géniale pour Little Wing, gardes ton DVD

Je n'ose donc même pas te poser la question pour le "Voodoo Child (slight return)" !!!

YM

Idem, toujours ses horribles feux de bingales   

Ben, ça fonctionne pas, là.... C'est normal, docteur?

J'ai réussi à le télécharger. La qualité à l'air un petit peu mieux mais l'ordre des titres est toujours incorrecte. Je ne comprends pas. Aussi, il y a toujours des images pénibles de la voiture, les images de la foule au mauvais moment, etc.
Je vais voir ça avec Kurt.

Les modifications annoncées dans le message concernaient la version du film restaurée à la fin des années 1990 par Kurt Max.
La seule différence par rapport à la vidéo pirate étant les bouts de film placés au mauvais endroit (pas les séquences de remplissage).
Comme la version de la fin des années 1990 circulait déjà largement, la seule amélioration est effectivement la qualité de l'image (remastering et une ou deux générations de VHS en moins).

Kurt est en train de retravailler le montage. Je lui ai dit de supprimer les répétitions; les visages de la foule à la con (au mauvais endroits), les vus des arrières de têtes, etc. J'ai même suggérer d'insérer les chansons manquantes en utilisant des images au ralentit, photos, etc. On va voir ce que ça donne (il est dessus depuis 4 ou 5 jours!).

 

Le nouveau montage:



Je ne l'ai pas encore regardé mais Kurt dit sur FaceBook qu'il a fait pas mal d'ajustements grâce à mes conseils.

Alors dépêche-toi !!!!!   

YM

pour le peu que j'ai vue, il y a une nette différence!!!   

Beau boulot !

Trés bon boulot surtout au niveau du son et de la syncro.Quel plaisir de regarder la jam de room full of mirrors ,je ne m'en lasse jamais.J'espère qu'on aura un jour l'occasion de voir tout ça en qualité pro et sans feu de bengale!!!
