Night FIVE of the famed 1991 MSG run. Taped by Lazy Cow. Some of the best audience shot videos in existence!
Upgraded with Charlie Miller’s FLAC2488 master of Don pearson’s Ultramatrix tapes.
Edited/Upgraded/upscaled and augmented from 480i to 1080p by me
Thanks too Josh Davis for his help on this project with audio and video prep work!

Video: 480i source is de-interlaced using motion vectors to achieve a “perfect” 480p60fps (no frame blending, each frame becomes an “image” like true progessive video), each individual frame is exported to a lossless image file (average of 500,000 images per show) and edited individually for spatial/temporal noise, contrast, brightness, and then each frame is ran through numerous neural networks which augment each image using large datasets to “fill in missing data” as needed while trying to not distort the original file. This is how we are able to increase a 480i file to 1080p or 4k using artificial intelligence. This process takes up multiple terabytes per show in storage and requires a lot of heavy duty computational power.
Each sequence of images requires a “best guess” of which dataset will do the best augmentation on each upscale pass, until the images are all at 1080p/4k. The ~500,000 images are then put into Vegas Pro and rendered filtered again (lightly) to filter out temporal noise/artifacts and flickering. Then the image sequence is rendered to H265 10-bit at constant quality factor “10”
With this video, I converted all DVD files to MKV and merged them to create one continuous show, remixed with ultramatrix FLAC24 track from Charlie Miller (all songs flattened out into one long track to sync with the video, also had to extract the flac from original file and convert to PCM in order to merge the MKV files, as MKV with FLAC does not merge properly)
The resulting video is “remixed” with the original source audio and usually augmented further with multiple audio sources. I upload my “personal favorite source” in the youtube upload.
Yes, I usually prefer audio mastered by Charlie miller.

Patreon members… coming soon, ,access to masters of my works direct from my cloud drives. I have had to buy multiple cloud drives to avoid hitting daily quotas and being locked out of my own drives to offer this. Once you have it, you’re free to do with it as you wish ???? These take a LOT of work and are made to be SHARED!

Original lineage, shortened to remove redundant info that is up top. This lineage applies to all MSG 91 shows on my channel. Note: Youtube upload does not use the lineage audio as noted above. Using Charlie Miller’s UltramatrixSBD 24-bit masters.
All the thanks in the world to the people who originally recorded and mastered this material. Quality in~quality out
