Notes:
This is some of the most sought after footage that many NIN traders know of. Slickmode and JAM's footage is two of three sources we know of from the Coachella Festival set. There have been snippets posted about 15 years ago of the footage and it looks incredible. Below you can read more about the tapes themselves but I'll go into the quality of them. Although the snippets they shared looked great and of filming the stage, that shortly went away. JAM's video filmed the stage from the beginning to about You Know What You Are? And then films the stage screens for the rest of the performance. Slickmode's footage is covered and just a black screen for more than half of the recording and is just the audio. That is probably why 12 years ago he only shared out the audio from his camera. This footage was riddled with digital scratches/dropouts on the audio and I needed some extra help from Frank on editing this one. He synced BoldCaptain's source 2 audio for this and merged the two videos together to make it a complete performance.

I want to thank JAM for trusting me with his master tapes. It was a fun and challenging project and I am humbled at anyone who does video editing in this hobby of ours. Lots of variables that can go wrong and I think I have done the best job anyone could for this footage. You can read about the whole project below.

If you have any recordings you would like to contribute to the archive, please get in contact at info@ninlive.com. Thank you.

the ninlive JAM/SLICKMODE DV TAPES PROJECT
********************************************
I was able to acquire most of JAM/Slickmode's master video tapes while I was in SoCal right before everything shut down. This was all that JAM had and I have been working on transferring these tapes for the past year. It has been an ordeal and a bit of a money pit. I bought a Sony HVR-M15au so that I would be able to transfer PAL and NTSC tapes. Some tapes run without a hitch. But others... not so much. There has been a lot of trial and error with transferring these tapes and I suspect these tapes were not stored in a proper place. After buying that deck, I know that some video tapes play better on their native deck/camera that they were recorded on. So, I bought two camcorders to try that out (Panasonic and Canon). Looking back on the wayback machine on archive.org I was able to track down the models that they used the most during 2003-2006. Some tapes played back better on these, but the camcorders were very sensitive and one person on eBay wasn't very truthful on the condition of the camcorder. So, I bought another one. Some tapes played better, but again.. Not by much. I decided to buy new DV cables as well to see if that may be the problem and most of the digital scratches and dropouts still persisted. Lastly, I thought maybe it was the number of hours on the M15au. As my first one was used at PBS SoCal and I assumed they would have kept care of this unit. But that is highly suspect as well. Let's just say buying video equipment on eBay has been shit. So I bought ANOTHER M15au with very low hours to see if that would help. Mind you, each time I got one of these players I cleaned the heads with alcohol and lint free swabs and one pass with a cassette cleaner tape. I know they are abrasive, but I only did one pass. After all of this, some of the tapes still persisted to give errors and I think I have exhausted all options to be honest. It definitely is the tapes and I don't think they were stored in a proper climate. MiniDV tapes possibly have a crap shelf life too. I am glad that I was able to obtain these tapes before they got to be totally unsalvageable. I have been working to get these tapes for pretty much a decade. So I am really glad to save what I could. There is a lot more footage from other bands that I will be sharing out as well. But after looking back at all of this, I have tried my best and exhausted all possibilities.
