Journey: 2013-03-11 Tokyo, Japan (Pro Shot DL DVD)

Here is an excellent pro shot Journey show that surfaced recently.  Thanks to "tupchurch" for alerting me to it!  It has great Dolby 2 channel sound and the video is clean and clear.  The only thing unusual is it looks as if it was possibly recorded from an HD digital video broadcast (DVB) but with a standard definition DVR?  Either that, or it was a 4:3 ratio picture that was stretched to 16:9 when the original transfer or DVD build was made.  It's not a big deal and doesn't ruin the show at all.

The original DL DVD of this show had chapters at 3 minute intervals and not at song beginnings and no menus.  I didn't create any menus but I did create chapters (at the songs) with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and built a new DL DVD.  I did not render the video at all so it's the same exact quality as the original source both in video and audio.  The DVD starts off with some bonus material discussed below.

This DL DVD has some interesting bonus material at the very beginning of it.  Both Neal Schon's son and Jonathan Cain's daughter are on stage playing before Journey's show.  I'm guessing they were the opening act?  I'm not sure how many songs American Beauty, the band's name, may have done because it seems to be an incomplete set they play.  Miles Schon and Madison Cain start mid song as the DVD begins and their last song is cut off just as it begins (right at 3 minutes total time of their music).  They are performing with a second guitarist who is introduced (it sounds like) as Brad Layton possibly.  Miles Schon is playing what looks like his dad's guitar while singing backup vocals and Madison Cain is doing the lead singing.  The third guitarist is playing an acoustic guitar and singing backup vocals too.

This is a really great quality DVD and thanks goes out to "activatorico" for sharing it!  I'd planned on redoing the DVD where it was the right aspect ratio and not stretched, but I've still not got that method down as of yet so I couldn't do it after trying.  Plus, I would have had to crop it and rendered it in this process too so it's probably better left as is.  I still wish I could've built a DVD version like that also!  But like I already mentioned, it doesn't ruin this excellent show and I think most everyone who gets it will love it!

Here's one last note before finishing.  The artwork has another bonus track listed but it isn't on the DVD.  The Jonathan Cain matrix bonus track #1 was not on the DVD but could not be removed from the artwork created.  So this is just a heads up so people don't think they're missing something in the download :-)

Enjoy the show...
