Oingo Boingo 'Elevator Man' live at The Palace, LA, 26 June 1987 (remastered audio and video)

- Here’s another remaster I did this weekend. Only one song, but it’s a good one. Elevator Man, live at The Palace in Hollywood (probably my favorite mid-sized music venue in LA, now called The Avalon I think). The date on the original video is 26 June 1987, but I don’t know if that was the date of the performance, or when this tv show aired it. I suspect the latter.
The tv show is called In Person. Never heard of it. In that original video (here • Oingo Boingo 6-26-87 L... ), they play three songs- Elevator Man, We Close Our Eyes, and Not My Slave. Unfortunately, though, only Elevator Man is complete. We Close Our Eyes fades out at the beginning of the second verse. Not My Slave is almost complete, but it upcuts the intro. So, for this remaster, I included only Elevator Man.
There’s also a short interview at the end of that original video.
I remastered the audio. Original audio is in mono, but I gave it a little air. And I pumped up the low end and evened everything out. There’s a whole lotta boomy room sound and audience sound in the original, but I put a hint of a de-verb on it, which helped out in minimizing that.
Video is remastered, too. Original is super small, VHS transfer size at 640x480. I have one of those new AI video 4K upscaler programs, and this video was more or less a test of that program. I pushed this one only to 1080, and left all the settings on their defaults. It definitely came out a lot bigger than the original, and killed a lot of the video noise, but everything now also has that smeary, painterly cartoon look, like it’s some sort of weird animation. It’s not unpleasing, but it’s definitely not natural.
But in the end, it turned out really good, I think, overall. And now I think, is this the best live recording version of Elevator Man?
Although, I’m still not convinced that this is 100% live. Vocals look live, horn section looks live. Not sure about Steve’s guitar. Can't tell with John's bass. But the giveaway is always in the drums. But sometimes Johnny is smacking that snare drum where it’s impossible that it wouldn’t be live, but sometimes the opposite goes for his cymbals. So, totally not sure. What do any of you think?

@@sal3060I was thinking a Cop for a 70 TV show. But it is pretty much the same thing.
Man, I can't believe how good Oingo Boingo was/is live. Thanks for another great video of Danny Elfman's misunderstood band. I was one of those people who just figured Elfman took the easy road and became a movie soundtrack man put to good use for Tim Burton movies ... and The Simpson's theme.
I just recently (2024) saw the US Festival performance from 1983 (on RUclips) and my jaw dropped at what I had avoided listening to at any serious level for decades. The energy is amazing. The sound is just as good -- if not better -- than Oingo Boingo studio albums.
Danny Elfman, q voz, q homem

Who's goin' down?
Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Whos' goin' down?
Yeah
I ride my elevator
Through the shafts of your heart
When you climb aboard, baby
There's no getting off
I'm a silent operator, won't you please take my hand
I am so polite, I'm the elevator man
It's a friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me?
I'm the elevator man
Who's goin' down, who's comin' with me?
Who wants to take a chance on a piece of abstract reality, huh
It's only just a dance
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man'
Who's goin' down, yeah
Movin' slow without a sound
Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin'down?
I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin' down?
Please, pretty baby, won't you come to me?
Won't you let me be your daddy
Come sit here on my knee?
Come tell your Sugar Daddy all of your fears
Cry for me darlin', let me taste your tears
As they roll down your face and on to the sand
We're going down together, I'm the elevator man
Now we're movin' slow without a sound
Goin' up and goin' down
Take an intermission whilr the bird is in a hand
Well with two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man?
I said, Who's going down, who's going down
Who's going down?
Ooh, I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin down?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's going?
I said who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Who's goin'?
Say goodbye to hate, goodbye to love
Goodbye to the world that you used to know about
Say goodbye to your momma and your daddy too
We're going to a place that you never even knew
Now we're moving slow without a sound
Going up and going down
Take an intermission while the bird is in the hand
It's worth two in the bush, so give yourself a push
Won't you come and ride with the elevator man?
Friction and harmony
Who's gonna ride with me
Far across the ocean on a floating bed of sand
Eyes toward the empty sky
Searching for the big surprise
Who's gonna ride with the elevator man?
Who's goin' down, who's goin' down
Whos' goin'?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's goin'?
I said who's going down, who's going down
Who's goin'?
I said who's goin'down?
