Rock am Ring on GERMAN TV!! confirmed!

[Baby Chaos]

I've seen these Rockpalast broadcasts before.  They used to show large chunks of festival performances, usually from the Bizarre Festival in Germany.

I recall seeing full sets from Smashing Pumpkins, NoFX, Ash, Metallica and loads of other bands over the summer.

If you buy some DVD bootlegs off Ebay you'll come accross them.

Great coverage

I have some stuff of VR playing Rock Am Ring, and Metallica 2003. it's all extremely good quality, so I think this will indeed kick ass!

[Meanmachine22]

Yeah, i often watch concerts on WDR .
WDR also presented Rock am Ring together with MTV (as a sponsor) . So you bet on the fact that it will be A+ picture & sound quality.

I also was at at that concert and can not wait for it to be shown tonight
Watch out for a blonde guy with beard and a grey jacket in the  moshpit doing silly moves all the time . That's me

I just hope whoever records this shares is VERY SOON!

I am really looking forward to this

fans shouldnt worry! this will be available as torrent on DIME within the next days, mint from satelite....we'll see who is fastest...problem is menus will be simple but as long as its a pure digital high bitrate satelite capture thats not a problem. assuming it works out fine i cant do this before next tuesday...so probably some other freaks will torrent it before?

I'll wait for yours. I love the best quality available so I'd rather wait for your version rather than d/l many other versions which may vary in quality.

Thanks... 

Just a request - could you please leave the audio as pure PCM?? I beleive WDR broadcast audio in high quality so when you make dvd please keep the audio at the highest quality it was broadcast.

a pure digital satelite (high bitrate) capture means its exactly a "clone" of the broadcast, no re-encoding. this probably means (according to the latest WDR Rockpalast broadcasts) that we will get 6000-7000 video bitrate average + 256kbps audio. and this IS MINT cause allready coming from professional recordings/equipment!!!!(but pure LPCM in digital age these years is some rare and probably wont return on broadcasts in the near future)
and i'm sure some freaks will exactly capture that and put it on Dime within 2-3 days.

WDR might do some weird editing though....like very fast angle changing/lot of zooming out/in + sharpen/un-sharpen etc.
however.....we finally will get a mint 90min proshot?

Thats cool  I'll still wait for yours though 

I appreciate you capturing this for us that can't watch it ourselves.

We count on you German folks!

A few hours to go...

[WARose]

i just hope its gonna be like the donnington broadcast becuase that was kick ass sound-unlike rio.
we really need a goot dvd as i dont think we are gonna get any soundboards from this tour .

the gnr camp checked the show before, avoiding a desaster like rio.... if axl/management agreed to the broadcast, you can bet on a great dvd

it isn't complete
it's only 1hour30min
i think they will cut out the solos and madagascar

it`s a fuckin shame!!!!   maddy was easily my highlight of the concert. i stood there and couldn`t believe how great that song was. people were praising the song before, but i`ve never actually been into it that much. not as much as IRS, rhiad, or twat at least.... (before the leaks rhiad was my favourite song )        and well....  the maddy version from rock am ring was perfect. i hope it`ll leak at some point in the future.

the problem is: Axl was not in form this day. Won't be the best concert performance wise 

just listen to the bootleg, Axl sings really bad in some songs (eg the blues, horrible performance)

you know it is always hard to judge by listening to bootlegs.
I was there and the whole thing sounded fucking good to me. But maybe that was only because i waited for 13 years to see them again .
From what i have seen RAR was one of the better shows by them
I really enjoyed it

[DazRose85]

I've heard a lot of positive comments about Rock Am Ring so we'll see... I defo think they got better as they went along anyway.

[hackvresse]

I was also there. And it sounded good, indeed. But even at the concert you could hear that axl didnt sing good on the blues.

and IRS also sucks...too bad they broadcast Rock am Ring and not some other concert

rock am ring was one of the best concerts of the tour.....

did you listen to any other bootlegs dude??  but i agree with you on the blues. i think i wrote it in my review that it wasn`t one of the best performances of the song. calling it horrible is bullshit though.

[gnr-4-ever]

I will be recording this show tonight also. So if somebody needs it contact me ?

[hackvresse]

okay lets wait till tomorrow

[WARose]

okay lets wait till tomorrow

another thing....     gnr management control the broadcast...  so we won?t get to see any crappy material

[Damir [#]]

I'm also ready for recording.

On VHS tape.
