notes
This master recording was stolen in 1986 along with many other gems. Until 2011, I didn't even have a single copy. Then about that time, I got back in contact with three different trading buddies from back in the day. All three of them had copies. But none of the copies were perfect. One copy was the best sounding, but the tape was mangled. The second copy was made on higher quality tape, was a complete show, but sounded like crap. The third copy was on lower quality tape, had a 45-second section missing, but sounded the best. Making matters worse, the first 30 seconds of the concert were missing (I was late setting up) and until the mics were all set, things were bumping and moving around a little.

(Soundboard FLAC)

Hammersmith Odeon (Jazamo Tweek Version)

In the gagle of Weather Report audience shows posted recently, I thought I'd re-post this soundboard recorded in 1980 in London, and which is probably only 2/3 of the nights set, Alas Incomplete. Still with excellent sound quality it's well worth the bytes, the band just smokes, Jaco performs one of his Best Solo's EVER on track-7, and Joe ... is just Out of his Mind!!! I have made a few tweeks (listed below) to improve your overall listening experience. All Praise to the original seeder Mr Mags, and as always Your Comments are Appreciated!!!

Jazamo Tweeks:
long silence before cut-in on track-1 and I removed approx 7 seconds of dead air. Pre-recorded Orchestral "Show Intro" cut-in on track-1 so I added Faded-in to smooth intro (listen to sample). On track-7 for unknown reasons the volume was very low for the first 6 minutes of Jaco's solo so I increased the volume (+12db), and then increased volume another +1.5 db overall. Removed 22 seconds of silence at the beggining of track-7. Increased volume on track-5 (+2db) & track-8 (+3db). At the end of the song on track-8 removed mic bump and faded out deleting 9 seconds of the track length. Re-named all tracks.

Jazamo Notes:
The Audience is not mic'd, and barely audible throughout which gives this set an In-Studio sound. So there is silence between the songs, but gives you the pace of the set. Additionally there is no banter. Jaco performs one of his best solo's ever on track-7 including "Blackbird", "Purple Haze", & "Them Changes" vamps. There have been 3 uploads of this show in Dime each time adding 2 songs, the dates vary as either November 14th or 16th 1980. Hopefully the complete set will see the light of day someday soon. This is an excellent sounding show, and (get this) not one track appears on the commercially released "Live & Unreleased" CD. A compilation which cut into 3 Weather Report soundboard boots in circulation upon it's release.

This is a 2nd gen copy of the master cassette taped off a WXRT Chicago broadcast in the late 1970s.  The guy I got it from kindly copied his 2nd gen cassette to CDR for me and this post is an EAC rip of that CDR.  Sound is quite good but not quite perfect.  Also, not entirely sure about the setlist as there's a lot of jamming at this gig which makes it hard to pin down.

Notes:
It needed the usual improvement techniques such as level adjustment, equalization, some retracking, pop/click removal, and in this case some manual noise removal. Many of these vintage Weather Report shows have a nasty hum in the 50-60 Hz range, which is the AC power bleeding through the improperly amplifiers. This show had it as well as many of the previous ones recently reworked and reseeded. This show also had a really annoying noise signature in the 9-11 Khz range, which had to manually identified and removed. Both of those efforts really cleaned up the low and high ends leaving a very well balanced result.
