John Fogerty, Peter Frampton, Duane Eddy - Witness History III - Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN May 5, 2000 - Excellent from master broadcast tape

Stereo U-matic master broadcast tape -> DAT -> PC -> you
44.1 kHz, 16bit - 77 minutes total (can burn straight to one 80 min CD for those that still use them)

In 2000 I was working for CountryCool.com (�the world of country music�) one of the million .com boom sites that soon went bust. We did the first video simulcast of the Country Music Awards (probably one of the first video simulcasts ever), an adventurous night. Fun place to work, got to chat with Keith Urban and Brad Paisley long before they were famous.

On May 5, 2000 Nashville hosted the Witness History III concert honoring Duane Eddy, and including Peter Frampton and John Fogerty (among others). While this is more of a �rock� lineup, they fit with the Nashville crowd. Someone later asked us to stream the concert (or parts of it). So they sent us a �� U-matic stereo master tape of the edited show. Now we were IT tech geeks up here in Northern Virginia (I was the webmaster, I ran the web servers), but fortunately for us I spent several years as a recording engineer at a 24 track studio, so I knew what to do. We had to rent a U-matic player (why would we have one), and I had to bring in my home computer with a decent video capture card (computers did not often have video capture cards back then). I captured it for streaming (probably at something like 320x240 with 8 bit audio, which was about the most Internet connections could handle back then). But I also brought my DAT recorder (I was a recording engineer remember) and made a DAT of the audio straight from the U-matic stereo master, which I later imported to the PC which you can download now.

The recording quality is an absolutely excellent stereo recording with none of that videotape hum. Definitely releasable quality. And these are some good little sets here too. None of the artists are on the banned list, and, except for a crappy YouTube capture of the Fogerty set (probably from someone who recorded over the air to VHS), I can find no release of this material, legitimate or otherwise. So I think everything is ok. And no, I do not have the video, sorry.
