JPP: Hale-Bop Live NRF99

The incomparable Finnish string band JPP perform "Hale-Bopp" at the very first Nordic Roots Festival at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, MN USA on April 3, 1999. An experiment by the original sound engineer Chris Frymire of Modern Minstrel Mixing to try an "immersive" 5.1 surround mix with the digital audio multitracks turned out so well, that I did my best to modernize the 3-camera SD video shoot (with some help from Dan Polsfuss of Moving Pictures, Inc., who was also one of the original camera operators).

Unfortunately YouTube does not enable 5.1 audio, so it's only Chris's new stereo mix of it here. If you would like to download this video with the 5.1 mix for 99 cents (.mov file), you can do that here: https://noside-109350.square.site/pro...
