Hollywood Palace 1967-12-12.txt
December 12, 1967 (original airdate) - U.S. TV - abc Network
Venue: El Capitan Theater (owned by ABC at the time and renamed the "ABC Hollywood Palace")
Hollywood, California, U.S.A.
The A&M Records 1967 TV Special featuring:
--host: Herb Alpert
--Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass--Wes Montgomery
--Burt Bacharach
--Liza Minnelli
--Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
--The Baja Marimba Band
--Boyce & Hart
In COLOR with nearly perfect picture & very decent TV sound quality. Grade A!
Also features all of the original 1967 TV commercials! This was previously posted as a flawed unplayable DVD. Various rework methods were posted in the earlier seed comments but most of the programs used to do this probably involved re-encoding of the data. This version here did not involve any re-encoding of the media and better title and chapter menus were added. Since the original audio was LPCM, it could be extensively fine-tuned with Pro Tools - normalization of the very low levels by almost 15 dB, other level change repairs with silencing of blank spots, lots of clicks manually removed, plus some low end EQ boost to make the TV sound a bit less tinny-sounding. No digital noise reduction was used in the audio remastering process.
Here's the rest of the new lineage/remastering info:The audio and video media was extracted losslessly by Cinematize 2 as elementary stream files. The video media is the same 2 files, though they were cropped tighter with DVD Studio Pro when authoring to clip the blank beginning and some of the l-o-o-o-n-n-g abc station ID that was at the end (cut to about 5 seconds from the original 30 seconds).

Total running time: 58:27 There are more chapter points than the selection menu indicates - every song, commercial and other interview/comedy bits not listed above can be accessed separately while watching the DVD. 23 chapter points can be accessed from the selection menu but there are actually 49 selection points total.
In the comments of the previous upload one person claimed that a lot of this show is lip-synched. I did not think so at first but after watching it a lot, now I'm not so sure. I can see at least one song where a guitar player has no guitar cord. The parts of the show that most interest Dime members - the Burt Bacharach, Wes Montgomery and Liza Minnelli songs are definitely NOT lip-synched, though possibly when Burt Bacharach is singing live, it may be the off-screen band's piano actually playing the piano part, not Burt. The Hollywood Palace had a large supplemental orchestra to back up the on-screen musicians, so just because the band members shown are not playing every part doesn't necessarily mean that it's all lip-synched. in any case, the the possibility of there being some lip-synched material has been cleared with the mods, so there should not be a risk of this being declared as violating Dime rules. And hopefully you will enjoy watching this DVD as much as I do!
