Show comments: 
Iowa Jam '86 Line Up: Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Dokken, Metallica, Armored Saint. Incredible line up and an even more incredible recording. This has always been one of my all time favorite bootleg shows (meaning all 5 bands). What a day for the rockers of Des Moines, not only this amazing festival but also Van Halen played later that evening at the Memorial Auditorium. The recordings of all five bands are simply amazing, it doesn't get much better than this for an audience recording. Great show to finish off the day, i think this was the last truly great tour of Aerosmith before their corporate sell out. This was when they were still a raw great rock and roll band. Don't get me wrong i still like them but up to this point, this is the real Aerosmith.

CD3
01. Echoes [25:16]

tot length: 144:29

notes:
raw rip from a supernice low generation cassette, sounds amazing if compared with the version I had, though it's still not what you'd consider an excellent recording for sure.
no dehissing of artifacts used here, frequencies are all intact, sounds bright and crispy (other versions around have poor NR)
- HAC has a sorta flip due to the copy (sounds like a loss of volume);
- SOYCD 6-9 has a flip at the beginning in all copies as it seems;
- TGGITS cuts at the end (but no pieces of the song are lost) - this is in other copies too though there it was retouched and sounds not as much evident as here.
many tracks are not indexed properly, have little stops.
if then we consider that other shorter copies run slow too, this is definitely longer and here Speak To Me is complete, lasts more than 5 minutes, whereas it's totally missing in other copies; furthermore the original rip is even longer (about 7 minutes longer) since the first 2 tracks of CD2 are repetitions of STM and Breathe (running slower than the actual tween-tracks 3 and 4); I did exclude the first 2 tracks of CD2 here for this reason (tracks 3 and 4 became tracks 1 and 2).
Significant upgrade for this that's maybe the date I'm more fond of.
this was played exactly the day after I was born.

Unique recording of the complete Bilbao soundcheck at the Bullring. Very interesting to hear the soundchecks of Speedway at Nazareth, Junkie doll, Who's your baby now and Romeo and Juliet. The sound is OK. I have three parts of this soundcheck in better sound quality and I added them on this disc as bonus tracks. These bonus tracks feature the full version of Speedway at Nazareth, Romeo and Juliet and two minutes of Romeo and Juliet sounds of Mark's national which is really great to hear. Total disc time is about 74 minutes.

Pretty nice audience recording, one of the best so far from Spain. It's obviously very hard to make a good recording is Spain as the audience is really going crazy during the concerts. Anyway, this is a better recording, recorded with Mini Disc.

Tacoma Dome

JEMS Master

Here is a new, uncirculated recording of a Journey show from Tacoma, Washington's new Tacoma Dome in 1983. This master audience recording was sent to me by JEMS for uploading. Thanks goes to JEMS for this recording and the many other excellent recordings they have shared with all of us over the years!

I'd hoped to upload this show a week ago on its 31st anniversary, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to get it done due to some other responsibilities. But here it is now, the concert from 31 years, 7 days ago today, Journey rocking Tacoma!

The Tacoma Dome venue was brand new when Journey played this show. In fact, Journey was the second band to play at the venue with the first act being David Bowie eight days earlier. This was also Journey's second from last show on their 1983 Frontiers tour Steve Perry tells the audience.

As for the audio on this show, it is a very clean recording. There are some clicks and pops at various points in the recording that are from the master tapes it seems. The sound is a little flat and it isn't a full range of sound type of recording either. The lower frequencies (or bass) end can be brought up if you so choose in whatever you are using for your playback equipment. However, as the show progresses it gets better and better in the quality of sound. I really like how clean the sound is throughout the whole show and there is very little audience noise too. Steve Perry's vocals are very up front in the recording also. In fact, all vocals are. The backup vocals are very easy to hear also. Overall, the mix in hearing the vocals and instruments is great but it just lacks in having captured the full range of frequencies to give it the full, rich and deep sound like you get with a superb recording. But I still love the show personally and I've enjoyed it each time I've listened as I was getting it ready to share.

I'd first made an EQ'ed copy (for my own use) before I had to leave town for a week. But after returning home, and as I started listening to this non EQ'ed copy being shared here today, I realized this copy without any EQ work likely sounds better anyhow. I was able to clean up more of the clicks and pops on the EQ'ed version using some filters for doing so, but it was with a program I despise and it wouldn't even work with 24/96 audio either. So I started from scratch and put together this non EQ'ed upload. Like many of you, I prefer the non EQ'ed copy of a show so I can do my own work on it if I want to. I like the work many people do on shows before sharing them and I do enjoy a great EQ job too! But having the unaltered sound is a big plus and that is what is being shared here for the first time today. Actually, this is the first time the show is being shared publicly at all EQ'ed or not.

I really appreciate JEMS sharing this show with me so I could finish getting it ready and share it with everyone else interested in it. Being a huge Led Zeppelin fan too, I was very familiar with the various JEMS transfers and work on a number of Led Zeppelin recordings, as well as other artist recordings too, that they've put out for us to collect and hear over the years. So to be asked if I'd be interested in preparing this Journey show to upload by them, well, I was very honored. So please be sure to thank the source of the sharing on this uncirculated master Journey recording...and that is JEMS!
