Live audio comparison of STARTING LEGEND 1999 ～Face to Face ver 417～ ガンバレ. This was the old (second) live band which emphasized keyboard arrangements. The guitar tones from the Nobu K era band were really studio quality bright/crisp; I'm glad this song was pro shot during this period. Comparison video from the January 1, 2004 show at Nippon Budokan with the new band (from 2001) and the now 3 year old Yamaha PM1D digital mixing console (with a vastly improved live sound, excellent guitar tone, and very clear separation of the bass and drums): ** link to be added ** 30th anniversary (2024) performance (with most of the band from the 2004 video): ** link to be added **

ML Upscaled/Enhanced 1080p60. Live audio comparison of STARTING LEGEND 1999 ～Face to Face ver.417～ Kaze ga Fuku oka + ROLLING STONE. This was the old (second) live band which emphasized keyboards. Comparison video of the same two songs from the encore concert in November 2001 with the new band and what was then, the new Yamaha PM1D digital audio mixing/sound system (with a vastly improved live sound, more guitars, and very clear separation of the bass and drums):

ML Upscaled/Enhanced 1080p60 (using this newer process). This concert (thankfully pro shot) was also live streamed (Real Media at a slide slow/low frame rate 160p resolution).
ML Upscaled/Enhanced 1080p60. This concert (thankfully pro shot) was also live streamed via Real Media at a slide slow/low frame rate 160p resolution (which made the 480p source look good). To get this upscaled, I used a different process (cutting out the ffmpeg step) by using Digiarty VideoProc Converter to transcode the MPEG-2TS source to 1080p since the output looked pretty good (the de-interlacer worked much better). I then ran that through Aiarty Video Enhancer AI to upscale/enhance that to 2160p60 (video detail plus frame rate increase) and then performed the final downscaling to 1080p60.
ML upscaled/enhanced to 1080p60 (video source from the 80's is much more difficult to upscale since it really is garbage in, garbage out territory). From Surveillance (released in November 1987), the original official music video was released on July 27, 1987. This (a progressive rock tune with a guitar instrumental prologue entitled "Prologue: Into The Forever") was also one of my favorite Triumph tunes (the melody, the lyrics, the guitar riffs and solo). I still crank the volume on this one. Surveillance would also be the last release with Rik Emmett who left the group in 1988.
