Yeah, this is what happens when you transfer a tape that's about five hundred generations down...* I'd still rather have it than not, but frankly I'm surprised there's any picture at all here. * It's probably 7 or 8 generations, from what I remember of generational decay. Just a guess, mind.
@@rebel1766 When you copy a tape's contents onto another tape, that's one "generation." Typically the master is called "1st generation." This is quite a serious problem because the analogue signal degrades *a lot* when you copy it from one tape to another. Of course, the tape generation isn't the extent of the story; copy one tape a million times and, even if you get sent a second-generation tape, that first tape may have still been worn out badly. But, in terms of tape generations degrading the quality-here's an example of what generational loss looks like on VHS: th-cam.com/video/G8GOcB6H0uQ/w-d-xo.html (It's Rick Astley, but don't worry, it's not Never Gonna Give You Up.)
Thanks for sharing this! Gives me great memories of being a DT fanatic in the 90s. They were great!
That was the best formation. And the best sound.
That sound from JP 😍😍😍😍
That sound from keyboards!
Dem I really want to see Take The Time Video, the one with JP free bird solo in the end
Hay man could you do the rest of the songs that didn't make it on OIALT thanks
1998 and the video is almost black and white 🤣

@@DTBootlegs what you mean for "generation"?
