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
Both nights in Montreal were recorded for FM broadcast - the second night (13 July) was the one broadcast and has been widely bootlegged. THIS one is the unused first night and was sourced from 2 CD bootlegs. The show includes the brilliantly enthusiastic MC introducing Bowie, the whole set and all the encores - the show lasts just over 2 hours altogether and features 27 songs.
What Was Done
The main problem with the first night (this one) was on the first 2 songs - several instances of someone (a recording engineer/sound guy presumably - if you know, please leave a comment) deciding to talk into a mic and this being picked up REALLY LOUDLY on the recording so it obscures the band and Bowie, somewhat, for a few seconds each time. Using some of my studio toys for a few hours, I was able to reduce the volume on this guy's voice without affecting the band and Bowie. It's not gone altogether (that WAS starting to affect the music) but it's much less distracting.
There
were some dips in volume to take care of and then I needed to edit the 2 CD sides together in 1 file without you noticing. Once that was
done, I got to work with EQ and the usual studio toys to bring more clarity to the sound mix, and then mastered it all to make it clearer and more
powerful overall. You can really hear the instruments being played now more clearly than on the source. This is a really strong performance and a really great sounding recording now.

Supporting The Site
If
you want to support the work I do on these recordings, and the site,
and (if you wish) 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 domain/storage costs, and helps the site stay
open, and helps me do more shows. Either way, enjoy the show.
