Montreux Festival - live stream - 9 July 2014
  • @MontreuxJazz: TONIGHT #LiveTheLab with @londongrammar & @goldfrapp! Watch their shows LIVE on http://t.co/XUL0c11uUM ! Be there 9:15pm! #mjf14

    ^ It looks like they'll be a live feed, but it's smack in the middle of the day here and I'm pretty sure the signal will be limited to Europe only. Surely I'm not the only one that would love to see this. Is anyone recording it by chance?

  • ^Thanks for looking into it anyway. It's always appreciated. Fans in the States never get to see the broadcast stuff unless someone tapes it for us. The fact that they couldn't tour this album is a huge bummer for everyone in the Americas...And they have loads of fans in South America too, oh well.

  • Wow, big (jazz) hands to Rob (Sartori)
    =D>
  • Right , the first bit was the taster , this is the whole concert uploaded below . I made a compromise for myself , if I recorded in 1920x1080 , then the file would have been 1.4gig , so I recorded it in 960x540 & so it made it practical for me to share it - file size 690meg (it wasn`t broadcast in real HD btw) . It loses frames where my local bandwidth was unable to keep up - neighbours streaming porn again probably & where live streaming drops frames (as it always does) . There`s a lot of other techy bumpf that`s not worth typing out - this is about as good a quality as we can get .


    Goldfrapp Live (Montreux Jazz Fesitval 2014) full gig in MP4 format

    Will it play on my TV via a USB stick ? Yes 
    Whats the audio bitrate ? 192kbps , buts that`s the quality of a recording of the stream , ie its a copy of the original , but it`s not bad
    What`s the video quality like ? "As good as we`ll get" quality
    Is she wearing her vampire outfit ? Yes
    Any banjos ? No

  • The Glastonbury stream I recorded suffered on those tracks as well , lights flashing , fast editing and it being a live stream don't help .

    Anywhat , you're all welcome , Goldfrapp were the ones who put in the hard work - I just pressed a few buttons .

  • Thanks for the heads up A_is_A just had a quick look from our billet in France and you can watch recorded sets - looks like a great venue. Will explore the recording oportunity but may be outside my tech ability. 
    What if the Hokey Cokey is what it's all about?
  • I've posted it out on Twitter. We need Carpy or Sartori to weald their magic!

    Hence why we need a proper Blu-Ray of a full concert so all can enjoy this around the globe. And they wonder why people pirate things. We need an intervention !
    @Halloween_Jack. The email address for Adam Kline you posted was eventually returned to me as 'recipient not found'. Are there any others emails that we can petition for this? We could do it by subscription; we register our interest and they produce the video package to suit. It's been done before!

    Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
    Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
    Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
  • Try re-tweeting my my post 'A' it might capture more people.

  • There's a countdown timer on that webpage which shows that it starts at 8pm (Engerlish time).

    But it says London Grammar, Goldfrapp. So... I guess A_is_A's time of 9:15pm might well be the Goldfrapp start-time... for us UK lot.
  • Thanks Sartori - Should be 8.15 UK by my watch (9.15 Central Europe) which will indeed clash with the footie. they are posting clips afterwards but it might only be single tracks.
    What if the Hokey Cokey is what it's all about?
  • Defo 8.15 UK but London Grammar may be on first - who knows?
    What if the Hokey Cokey is what it's all about?
  • The web site lists tonight's bill as Sohn, London Grammar and Goldfrapp. LG are on as I type 21.04 BST. I'm hoping Goldfrapp are on next.
  • I'm home early from work and the Montreux stream is working in the U.S! Looks like the fates have conspired to let me watch this envivo! Eeeeee almost like being there :)
