(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!!!
Joe Zawinul - Keyboards
Wayne Shorter - Sax
Jaco Pastorius - Fretless Electric Bass
Peter Erskine - Drums
Robert Thomas Jr. - Percussion

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.
Many thanks
