Show 2: OMD - Glasgow Apollo, UK, April 1983


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 and take the credit (you know who you are). Thanks.

 

This was just under 1 hour taken from an FM radio broadcast of tracks from a gig from the Dazzle Ships tour. I've seen 2 dates for this gig - 22 and 28 April. Thanks to those of you who contributed below - I think we can safely say its now from the 28 April 1983 (you can see a scan of a ticket below). Incidentally, I've been reliably informed that the support that night was provided by The Cocteau Twins.

This recording originally had some gentle noise reduction applied and then 30 band EQ and sounded much better than it did!

2019 UPDATE: While preparing this old show as separate files for a donator to the site, I found I could now improve the show further, over what I’d originally done to the recording several years ago. I worked out it was actually running slightly too slow, so I've corrected that. Paul now doesn't sound like he's taken tranquilisers while singing on Souvenir...! Some extra EQ tweaks and it was done.

You can now download this new version (as of 2019) HERE as 1 new 320kbps MP3 file.

If you would like to have separate tagged MP3s, or even lossless files in FLAC format of the new version, head on over to the Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs.

And finally... don't forget to SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEW FREE NEWSLETTER so you never miss news on which new gigs are going to be restored and uploaded here; any news will be delivered to your inbox and I guarantee you no spam - and of course you unsubscribe at any time.
