Ripped from a Youtube video that was uploaded a few days ago (but removed shortly after).
The original upload was another big surprise since this part of the Sight And Sound TV Live show was never seen or heard before though part of the audio was circulated on Pre-FM bootlegs.
Unfortunately there are several problems with this upload :
- The aspect ratio is 4:3 cropped to 16:9 which means we lose a lot of the image.
- The video seems to have been altered through IA upscaling with a sort of HD feel but also unfortunately pretty plastic-y skins and textures all around.
- The video is also displayed at only 25 fps (so even lower than the Margaret upload) which is a shame for a show that was shot at 50 fps (or 25 fps DE-interlaced).

So what I opted to do here, not having the original source of this upload but still wanting to do an upgrade of it is I chose to process it through Topaz Video Enhancer to display it at 50 fps instead of 25. Since it's an AI that's interpreting every frame as best as it can with a weird source, there a few weird things in the interpolation but I think it generally holds up in terms of smoothness, though it is still hypothetical with AI processes.
I also tried to remaster the sound which was subpart. Fortunately I could find a decent soundboard recording of that particular song though the Pre-FM recording is incomplete (consisting of the first part of the section before the huge bridge and part of the ending), so I had to go with putting Graphic and Parametric EQ on the audio of the video upload (so most of the middle section which isn't covered in the FLAC file I had). It's not outstanding but I think it'll do for now.

I hope you will enjoy it very much !
