This is an excellent sounding (LPCM audio) dual/double layer DVD of the Jimmy Page and Robert Plant concert in San Diego in 1998. I really like the sound on this one too. The mix is excellent and everything from the low bass frequencies to the high vocal and guitar frequencies are present and clean. The video is great as well but it is a little shaky at times. It is not a problem though and the camera used by Third Eye Productions has always been a really great (maybe professional) camera so the video looks superb in color, lighting, and overall quality.

While I don't see any mention of this copy being one of the Third Eye Remaster series DVD's, I'm pretty sure it is. The fact it has LPCM audio as well as being a DL DVD tells me it is. Most of the original Third Eye releases, originally on VHS tapes, used AC3 audio and had a low 192 kbps audio bitrate too. And as they were first remastered and put to DVD, if a show was more than one DVD in size, instead of making a DL DVD (if they were even available back then) the show would be on 2 DVD's. I believe there was a second wave of remastering done from the master recordings around the 2005 - 2010 time frame and the audio was upgraded (LPCM) as in this show and many of the 2 DVD shows were put onto DL DVD's too. I cannot say this is all 100% accurate though. There are still some "remasters" that have the 192 kbps AC3 audio out there too (maybe first remaster series?).
I mention the video is a little shaky in places but it is still much better than most people's handheld video recordings of shows. The video is not bad either but it is obvious it was not a tripod mounted shooting and was a handheld type in this show from the balcony area on the right section of the venue. It really is sharp and clear video too. I've always wondered what kind of camera Third Eye used for all of the shows he shared because it was definitely an excellent, and possibly professional camera.
We're really fortunate to have all of these various concerts recorded by Third Eye using such great equipment and knowing about video and audio too.
I hope you enjoy the show...

Thank you very much for the Plant/Page DVDs you've put up recently! I was able to upload the first 7 parts of this San Diego 98 show, but the link for part 8 has gone bad ("This file is no longer available due to an unexpected error. If you are the owner of this file, it will need to be re-uploaded.") Could you re-up this link, or if necessary the full dvd? Thanks again for all your great work through your site!
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm seeing this so late. I will upload Part 8 overnight tonight and check the rest of the links too in case any have dropped lately. Thanks for letting me know...

No problem, and Thank You so much for reposting part 8! I had kept the previous 7 parts, and everything unzipped perfect. This turned out to be one of the best Page & Plant shows that I've seen, so it was well worth the wait. Lots of screen time for Page, which is great, even to the exclusion sometimes of Plant. The crowd was really into it and the group appreciated it. Thank you very much again for your site, I have a Lot of Zep stuff, but you constantly have something new, or you make me go back and revisit recordings that I have not thought about for a good while. I always am especially interested in DVDs and DVD-A that you post.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Larry
Thanks for the last message Larry! I like to hear what others are interested in too. If I know someone likes DVD-A's better I like posting them. I love them myself too. Especially when they have the higher quality audio and and a great slideshow. I'm preparing another Page & Plant show from two nights after this one in Las Vegas now. It's a DL DVD upgrade with the Pre-FM soundboard audio instead of the mono audio and much of the show is pro shot too.
DeleteHave a great night/day and I'll be uploading at a more normal pace starting back real soon. I've had a lot of maintenance, backups, and just a lot of stuff going on lately and I have not had as much time to be able to upload many shows. But that's about to change and I'm ready to get a bunch more up!
