The earlier upload was fixed, using the correct codec. Thanks to ETree.org and the Grateful Dead head who suggested the parameters recommended by The Internet Archive/Live Music Archive, a treasure trove of live dead. This is much closer to the audio and visual, before uploading to youtube.

A tip of the hat to Mr. Henry Townsend
and doff of the hat to Warner Williams and Jay Summerour
Video recorded, in Virginia, USA, in 1994, The Blue Riders championed the East Coast Piedmont style of blues, a style of music first popularized by artists like Blind Boy Fuller, Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Willie McTell and Blind Blake...but there's a fair bit of the delta and the music as it moved up to Chicago, by way of the post-war first wave, in Rider's clips too.
This clips for fans of Howlin' Wolf and Willie Dixon.
