That Youtube and Facebook page has been the best thing for STP fans to enjoy more than anything else has been for the past decade+.

I wonder how they continue to keep obtaining these rare and awesome videos/audio?

Incredible show. Glad that it happened.
They were so tight and the material so strong.

Can someone rip the audio as mp3s?

Me too. They must have some terrific sources. That Spring Break 1997 upload was perhaps the most amazing of them all.

I think they've been running any videos they can get their hands on through synthetic upscaling to some form of interpolated HD.....

Yeah, most of their content is just stuff they stole off YouTube and ran through a shitty upscale. Honestly everything looks worse on their YouTube videos than anywhere else. If you have a 4k TV you're far better off just letting your TV upscale the video than watching their terrible 'remasters'.

I have no idea where they got the full audio for the Vegas show, but I know they stole the '97 MTV Spring Break Rocks off another YouTube page. All the video for the Vegas show is clearly stolen off YouTube, and the photos are clearly stolen from elsewhere on the internet.... And for putting it all together they feel justified putting a watermark over other peoples' content.

Honestly they are the worst kind of vultures on the internet.

I mean if they are improving the quality a bit even for a casual streamer, and all they are doing is compiling it on YouTube, then that's cool. It's a passion-project.  But I def think their "watermark" is a bit much.

Maximum they could edit in an intro slide or animation or something at the beginning of each video related to what they are doing. But the watermark is a bit much.

The sad thing is they aren't improving the quality at all, they're pretty much reducing it.

By blowing up the image from 4:3 to 16:9, then upscaling it to 4k, all they are really doing is blowing up the flaws in the video. The resulting videos are a blocky mess with bad framing.

They also insist on posting videos shot at 25-30fps at 60fps, which means computer predicted in-between frames that make the videos look like a cheesy 90s soap opera.

If they really wanted to do a good job, they could run a little clean up and a 4k upscale on the videos while maintaining the original aspect ratio and frame rate.... But most 4k capable TVs and computers will do that automatically for you better then whatever program they are using to upscale these videos. So like I said, you're better off finding the original video they downloaded off Youtube.

Those are really good points. I actually thought they were just running the old footage through a 4k interpolator with some color correction or something in the aspect ratio. I get the notifications and I've glanced at one or two videos, but I admit I haven't watched many, or even any of them all the way through by any means. I think I've seen all of that material and have probably.... at least 95% of it on my own HMS here.

I've been, like most everyone else, in a bit of STP hibernation since the Perdida album drop. I think I listened to that one all the way through - I dunno if even a handful of times.  I'm waiting for that ebb and flow of music to crest a bit where I want to chew through STP all over again. The point though is that sitting through a lot of the old STP concert videos I've seen for years might not realistically happen again in my life.. lmao
