ACDC Roll Call

i'm jealous too. another band i may never get to see live

Samantha, you've got to bring these issues to the fore a little earlier!

The show was great – I'm really glad I didn't allow my arena-rock skepticism to keep me away. "Shoot to Thrill" was one of the highlights (and one of my favorite songs anyway). Ended on "For Those About to Rock."

Some exceptionally low res video I took with my phone:

as always i managed to take a little video..wish i'd gotten seats a bit closer but this was a tough ticket

as always i posted something at www.47west63rd.blogspot.com

Yes, it was a great show!!! I hoarded as much videos as I could. Here are some and I'm still uploading.

what do you mean by that??

ugh. I don't have the heart to watch the videos.

They are good haha watch! I'm still uploading damn youtube takes forever.

Wow, great video! "Big Jack" was great, and of course a huge sing-along. I'm mad at myself for not bringing my camera… nobody searched us and there were flashes going off all over the arena throughout the show.

Oh yeah I wasn't even searched at all just went right on in. I was able to get every song just seeing if I can upload all of them now. One of them went over 10 mins and don't know if I can upload that since youtube has a 10 min limit. I think the video came in at 10 mins and one second.

can't you just snip one second off the video?

I haven't tried to upload it yet but if not I'll see what I can do with it. Still uploading as we speak.

Just put up some more vids this morning from the show.

So I was driving by the Verizon Center on Saturday night and was wondering what was going on. As we are waiting, stuck in traffic, what do I see? About 20 kids running after an older man and punching him in the face. Hard. Not a cop to be seen.

money talks?

i'll be at tonight's show in philadelphia. really, really excited about this one. dammit, still need to be productive for 6 hours.

Anyone know how to download in youtube video in the HIGHEST QUALITY possible? I really need to download this one I found of the DC show but the quality just seems a bit less than what I'm watching in YOUTUBE in high quality… not like that much less but still just a bit noticeable… any suggestions much appreciated..

There were cops galore at the Verizon center that night. Wonder how they didn't notice. I would have ran over those guys.

All videos that get uploaded to youtube the quality is diminished from the orginal. I see this with all my videos as they great when I watch them but after uploading they are all pixilated and grainy. Don't know what to tell you but get the orginal copy.

yup, transcoding to a lower resolution is done in order to limit how much data youtube has to broadcast when it serves the content. people upload vids in all sorts of uncompressed, inefficient, etc encodings.

well all i was asking was how to download the vidoes on youtube in AS GOOD quality as they are on youtube when you click to watch in "HIGH QUALITY"..not getting into whether youtube sucks..by the way youtube is a lot better now than it was before as many videos are no watchable in higher quality

of course i'd rather have the original! But i'm not too sure the person who took the video is going to write me back much less give me the vidoes!

anyways, the answer is: if you want the videos in as high quality as youtube at its best then you need to use real player.. i tried keepvid and i tried gearmonkey and in both cases (one in flv format and the other in mp4 format) it was noticeably worse but with realplayer i now have a copy as good (whatever that means and in this case it means a lot as i have video of angus rocking out my woman during let it be rock guitar solo) as whats on youtube..

anyone think it's funny that the band chooses to end its show with "those about to rock"? if you're an hour and a half into an AC/DC show and you're about to rock, methinks something has gone horribly wrong.

only thing that comes to mind: the cannons. when those babies go off, Those About To Rock typically join the ranks of Those Who Have Gone Deaf :p

do people about to rock, only buy their music from walmart?
