King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Live at Red Rocks '24 (Concert film w/ Dolby Atmos + 5.1 FREE DOWNLOAD)

Absolutely. I created an account and tried to start an upload there but it was going soooo slow. It would takes days to put the movies up

But they can definitely go up there eventually.

Oh yeah, Archive.org is famously slow. Not sure if my end with a 30 mbps up would be any better

Does anyone know if an Oppo BDP-103 will play the HD MKV file from a USB stick? I know that it won't play ISO without a mod, so I'm hoping I can just download the smaller MKV and play that, rather than burning a BD from the ISO.

NEW LINK IS READY
The files are now hosted on Dropbox which should have a much larger per day transfer quota (1TB). There are new v1.1 versions of the two MKV's and BD ISO as well.

I have 1gbps up and it's still painfully slow. I'll have to run it as a background thing over a few days.

From what I've just read online it should play MKV files just fine. Someone did mention that the drive won't be recognized it it's over 2TB though.

GQ just put out a really good article about the band, think people here would dig it:

Have they ever released stems for any of their studio albums? A lot of their studio material would sound amazing with an aggressive (i.e. Flaming Lips-style) surround mix!

Have they ever released stems for any of their studio albums? A lot of their studio material would sound amazing with an aggressive (i.e. Flaming Lips-style) surround mix!

The only studio album that’s part of the Official Bootlegger program is actually my favorite, their polyrhythm prog album Polygondwanaland, but that was the first thing they put out under that program which has evolved over time. The assets for that one are the front cover in high res, and vinyl and cd masters in high res.

The 2024 US Tour was the first time they’ve committed to stems, so at the moment those shows (37 releases, some have been retroactively lumped into one release, Red Rocks was 3 different releases but now is one, I’m counting based on the current grouping) are the only things with stems.

Considering they seem to change their approach each tour, its entirely possible that all things going forward could have stems… or these might be the only releases with stems, who knows.

That said they did mix their 2019 Europe Tour concert film Chunky Shrapnel in 5.1 for the limited theatrical release (and a blu ray that’s been promised… since 2019), and their latest Flight b741 has a streaming only (at the moment. A different release has been teased) Atmos mix. It’s kind of an open secret that this year’s US tour is going to be edited into a Chunky Shrapnel style doc, so it’s possible there’s more official surround mixes coming when that’s out.

That said, with 37 releases full of stems that’s a lot of material to work with. With the band officially sanctioning “do whatever” with these, the sky is the limit. Full show remixes like this, or compilations, or mashup-remixes (one of the companies putting out the all-synth San Fran show on vinyl realized they had an entire side to spare so they commissioned a remix using the stems). Heck if QQ’s mixers wanted to do a professionally minted and sold blu ray of mixes that would be allowed as long as the band gets sent “as much as you think is fair” to sell in their online store/pre-show “Record Fairs”.

Ninja Edit: in the past I asked in an AMA if they’ve considered doing surround sound since they are so suited for it, and Stu responded “we’ve looked at Atmos… but we fold out drums and bass down to one track so it makes mixing hard”, that was a couple years ago now, and they do have one studio Atmos mix so maybe they’ve changed their process

The band did release stems for the song Automation from the KG album, I know because I did a stereo mixing project in college using them. As you say, the bass and drums were on one track.

I’m not even sure if they are still available as this was back in 2020 during the single release for Automation.

You’re right! I had completely forgotten about that, and/or re-wrote it in my brain that they only released the raw footage for the music video, with the concept that the fans would make “the Final Cut”.

Looks like they’re all still here: https://kinggizzardandthelizardwizard.com/automation

I still can not download the full 4k file, my connection is not reliable enough.
Is anyone here able to BitTorrent it?
Ah, and

I might consider mixing ONE more show, but will probably do audio only. I’d like to find a consensus on what their best show of this tour was, or the one next most worthy of an Atmos mix. Any ideas?

I saw them in Edinburgh and it was a blinder! Delighted to hear about this new release. Nice one chaps

I proposed doing this to the guy who did the concert film and he said the visuals could only be shared non-commercially. I had that exact idea though, of doing a small run of duplicated Blu-rays and send some to the band. So it would have to be audio only if it were done.

Ah, and

So even through the Dropbox links you can’t download it? Is it a download quota error or just connection issues?
I haven’t set up a torrent before but anyone else is welcome too if they’ve got the files.

Downloaded it in HD, listening in 5 1. Took about 30min to download. One song in and there's plenty happening in the rears. Terrific early Christmas gift.

The four guitar/keys players are mixed in a quad layout; Stu and Joey in L and R, Amby and Cook in the Sides, so in 5.1 the sides move to the back. The 5.1 mix is not hugely different to the Atmos fold-down but I did make some bespoke tweaks to improve balance in places.

Cool, I'll check out the atmos mix next time. Great gig! I'd love to see a show at Redrocks

I downloaded the ISO (31 minutes) and burned it to a Blu-ray, The Sony UBP-X800 didn't cough at all, loaded straight away. I've only had a short test play so far but it looks and sounds (Atmos) fantastic. Thank you so much.

I saw a youtube video of something by these guys a few years ago that was kind of folksy and psychedelic and thought it was alright, then I forgot about them completely. After watching this video with the Atmos mix, I think these guys might be my new favorite band! I'm hearing so many great influences. Crimson, Zappa, Black Sabbath, Sex Pistols, wow!

Did you do the video editing on this LTW? It's nice that it doesn't do the constant fast-cut editing shots, instead kind of lingering on a shot for a bit. I like that a lot.

I was expecting the worst for the audio quality, having heard a few home-brew Atmos mixes before, and with this coming from stems(?) uploaded to the internet, I just wasn't expecting much, and while this may not be a laser-sharp Steven Wilson studio mix, I think it's awesome for what it is! It is just a bit crunchy sounding, but it also sounds like that was the way it was recorded, and I love how it doesn't sound like you tried to "fix it" too much. It's clear without being too fatiguing, nice presence without sounding too mid-rangey, and has some nice solid bass. It's very pleasant to listen to. I was really shocked by how good this sounds.

Thank you!

Thanks mate! That’s pretty much what I was trying to achieve so I’m stoked that it worked for you. They are a pretty raw band so tried to get an even freq balance in my mix compared to the more mid range focused stereo mix.

No, I didn’t have anything to do with the footage. That was all shot and edited by Heapskeen Films. I just got permission from them to share it with my mixes. I also really like how it was filmed and edited. Really suits the band.

Awesome! just got caught up with this thread.
Downloading it, and will burn the ISO.
Thanks!

Coincidentally, I just got around to reading that GQ profile, which is fabulous. I've been King-Gizz-curious for a couple of years now, not least because a friend's (very smart) kid is a superfan, but I haven't really followed through. Now I'm all in, ready to explore the catalog, starting with this show. I love these guys' whole ethic, with regard to both music and commerce!
