Grateful Dead [1080p HD Remaster] December 31, 1978 - Winterland Arena [Set 3 with extra footage]

Our latest and hopefully final attempt to remaster this video.

Sets 1 and 2 have already been posted since New years eve.
Set 3 is a bit lower quality in a lot of parts (the video, not the audio!) because different cameras were used for a lot of the footage.

There are some extra bits from this night we'll be posting in addition to the three sets. Everything in the box set! :) Did i mention [***SPOILER ALERT***] there is a dark star [/***SPOILER ALERT]

It should look *Significantly* better than anything officially released at this point.

Thanks everyone for a wonderful 2022 -- To usher in 2023, I brought it up about a month ago -- and Josh agreed -- especially once i sent him my very minor color corrections on the original and did some other post-production work to the first 20-mins of this video, that we should give it some real justice and try to make this shine as much as possible. This is a video that I used to help hone my own skills when I started on this journey of upgrading the catalog of GD and Jerry related videos to their highest potential, while making sure the highest quality audio was attached to the newly remastered video, creating essentially brand-new releases of every single show that has been circulated on video. Along the way, we really have added a lot more into the fold than when the page started. Methods have gotten better, lessons have been learned, Josh came aboard in late 2021 and started helping with the basic "prep work" that is almost universal across the videos we work on. In that time, josh has helped turn us into a genuine remastering/postproduction operation as we've added mulitple shows that have never been circulated, we've tracked down audio sources that were never in circulation, and we've been able to create absolutely legit, seamless, and genuine pro-shot videos of shows from the 1970s that have never ever been put together as a full show. Josh has been a monster at multi-cameras and color correction, which is going to lead to even more "re-releases" even though we literally still have *OVER 1000* videos to go through. This project is going to take many years, especially with the redos. :)

This is one of the videos that I've worked on more than any other, and every single time i come back to it I still say "wow" when i see the newly finished product. This time, I think this would be worthy of a new release.

Let us know what you think -- so happy to still be here with all of you and let's keep this project kicking! Thank you!

==================== Donor Rap ====================
This page 100% depends on the generosity of others to continue the work that is being done here to restore and remaster all existing video sources (we even do new transfers on a lot of stuff and uncirculated stuff these days). The postproduction work takes a lot of time, a lot of specialized equipment and software, eats up a ton of money in overhead, continuously increasing storage demands, and a high-speed fiber connection is on the way.

~Thank you~

For full disclosure, if you see commercials on this page, this page is NOT MONETIZED in any way. Any commercial you see is either placed there by copyright owners (which they have every right to do) or by Youtube. We don't want people to have to see commercials any more than they want to see them. On the other hand, we are lucky enough be able to post all of these videos without being crushed off of Youtube from copyright violations. (Which also took a lot of effort to make happen)
With that said, this page would have ceased to exist in December 2020 if it were not for the massive outpouring of people who stepped up and offered to help when i put up the notice that I would no longer be able to maintain this page because of the time and the financial burden. If you are able, consider making a one-time donation or joining the patreon if you find this page to be something of value -- every dollar genuinely helps a ton. We do not want anyone to feel any sense of obligation. We are like everyone else and want to keep the music alive, at the highest quality possible.
