Show 205 - U2 - Live at The Lyceum, London - 7 Sept 1980

 

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
Originally sent to me on cassette by a listener to the site. This was an audience recording and not a terribly clear one. I have had several attempts to improve this since he sent it to me over the last 3 years and recently had another go - and finally, I got to a point where I was happy for it to go on the site. Bear in mind it doesn't compare to, say, a restored FM or soundboard recording but the rarity of the recording, with it being from just before they released their first album, makes it worthwhile I think.

What Was Done
I took away some of the reverb first of all to give me more of the sound of the band to work with. There were gaps and clicks here and there - fixed those. Noise reduction was done (it was very hissy). Lots of filtering and EQ to stop the overly loud guitar piercing ear drums and bring back some bottom end and the drums. Finally I was able to master to make it clearer and more powerful overall, and wider. I hope you enjoy the result.

Supporting The Site

If you want to support the work I do on these recordings, and the site, and (if you wish to) obtain separate, fully tagged 320kbps MP3s of this restoration for less than the price of a coffee in return, or lossless FLACs or even a lossless copy on CDR, head on over to the Rewards For Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs. There is no obligation to do so of course - you can take the file on this page absolutely for free - but every single donation does 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.
