A quick request. If you plan on downloading this and putting it on your YouTube channel or your own bootleg page - I don't mind. But a credit to this website where you found it and a link back to this page would be really appreciated. It helps me gauge which artists are popular - ie more chance of other restorations coming. Don't just steal it, cut out the intro and outro and take the credit. Thanks.
The Show
Most of this was a radio broadcast I was sent. I realised after a bit of research that 2 songs were missing, so looked around the web for another recording. And there was another one, which included those missing tracks - but omitted some of Start!. And it was quite inferior in quality - it was in stereo but sounded more like it was from the audience, not a radio broadcast, although it was still in stereo, at least.
What Was Done
I worked on the main recording first of all and got that to a state I was happy with, then worked on the missing tracks. I had to remove a lot of ambience on those to make the band sound louder, then I noticed the stereo image was reversed from the radio broadcast - the bass and guitars were on the opposite side. So I turned those around, then worked on the sound a lot to make it blend better with the rest of the gig. Then I worked on blending in the songs at the right time, so it didn't sound like too jarring a change each time. Then I mastered everything.
This is now the complete show. And it sounds pretty awesome, as do the band themselves. There are actually 3 parts of this recording that have been brought in to make the complete gig - see if you can spot them all...

to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the

go towards this site and helps me do more shows and update some of the
software I use as time goes by. Either way, enjoy the show!
