1991-09-30 - San Francisco, CA (audio from video source)

[XWayne]

Following a review of my Pearl Jam bootlegs, I have noted that the 1991-09-30 source usually listed (unknown microphone > unknown recorder > analog > dEQ > cdr > eac > wav > shn) is not great, and found out from YouTube that audio from the video is much better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuhZzenNsj0

I have tracked a non-compressed version of this video and managed to find a master > DVD version, and ripped the audio (in 48kHz).

It is currently available on DimeADozen: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-deta ... ?id=698264
I have also put a WeTransfer link (available until 2021-01-11): https://we.tl/t-OQFhCbfaQY

Thank you!

Why 48kHz?

Why 48kHz?

I have extracted the audio stream from the DVD files as-is, and then hesitated to downsample it to 44.1kHz to fit audio CD norm: eventually I preferred not to introduce a loss of quality, I'm not sure people in the PJ trading circles still burn CD's, and it is still possible to convert the 48kHz audio to 44.1kHz (whereas lost frequencies cannot be restored the other way around).
