This show from the 2nd leg of The Who's 75-76 North American Tour was recorded by the 'S' in JEMS. A unfortunate tape problem results in a missing segment of the show from midway through See Me, Feel Me to part way into My Generation. What remains of the show though, is great despite Roger having the flu. Pete and Keith pick up the slack!

Tapers Notes: 
There was a lot of traffic on the way to the gig, so I missed the first few songs. Security was really tight, so I only recorded this show using the internal mike from my cell phone. I had cord issues, so the first couple tracks have static. I went with friends and their hoots and hollars and talking aren't too bad. I was drinking and had to take a rest break, so one track in the middle is missing. My batteries went bad towards the end of the show, so the encore is missing. Actually, none of that happened, because I've been taping since the 1970s. 

Seriously, Eric Clapton at the Royal Albert Hall with a ridiculous tight back up band. Who could resist. We were a bit too close for the perfect tape, but still a good pull. The ALD was new, so there was a learning curve for that unit and proper placement for the first night.

This show takes me back. I remember being a rambunctious eleven-year-old exploring on the internet for U2 sites. Pop had just been released and I had been listening to that for a while. I ran across a site that had some downloadable U2 bootlegs...in glorious 16kps RealAudio. From that site, I downloaded crummy audience recordings of this San Diego show and the DC Popmart show. Hoots and hollering, crowd noise, and distant vocals galore. Having never been to a concert before, I legitimately wondered if concert sound was loud enough to hear in the back! But I was more than intrigued. I kept downloading + acquiring shows, eventually started taping, and been at it ever since.

So when Butterking of JEMS and I were talking one evening, he casually mentioned he had a fresh new transfer of a nice audience recording from 1997 San Diego, my interest popped up. Another dear friend had just given me a handful a Popmart IEMS to clean-up for possible release (some have been released, some not), and San Diego was in the fold. A fairly one sided Bono feed that could use a little love for San Diego, unlike the crew feeds that made up a majority of the Popmart pulls. When I countered Butterking with the IEM in my possession, we both got very excited about the possibility of excellent matrix. Two months later after numerous revisions (special thanks to TS for the extra feedback!), we have the current mix.

It's not a perfect recording. The IEM was very Bono heavy, so most of the instrumentation came from the audience recording. It's tough to get a right balance in this case, and required many revisions. The IEM was pretty clean overall, while the audience has some chatter/cheering. The overall PA mix seemed inconsistent; sometimes the guitars seemed too low, and sometimes Bono's voice washed out in a wave of guitars. Easy to bring out the Vocals with the IEM, not so much the guitars. Give it a whirl, see what you think.

Several of these older Popmart ear monitor feeds have some dubious legacies. Some were stolen and released following the infamous shower heist; some were traded then cut up/introduced noise, etc. Shady trade shenanigans by folks who burned the original tapers. Some of these old recordings have been restored and released from a known lineage...and more may be coming. However, I burn out fast on doing these shows! Setlist variety is not synonymous with Popmart. This San Diego show has been thought to be one buried in the hands of the same folks, not exactly sure what has been done with it trade wise. But moot point now--time to flush out the system!

The show itself is a fun trainwreck. They were clearly underprepared (especially if you take the time to listen to the 23 CD set of the Popmart rehearsals), and it showed in the first 15 shows. As second night of the tour, there were some very amusing moments of mis-cues and mistakes. I love the version of I Will Follow...I'm sure the band would cringe at hearing that. But any true fan of the band finds a special love for the trainwrecks. After all, you need the mistakes to make the perfection that much better!

notes by the uploader
This has been something I've had for a long, long time, and every single time I've traded it, the person I've sent this to has been blown away at the upgrade from whatever source they had owned before. Since I've not seen this show on Dime, and folks claim that this is THE DEFINITIVE COPY, I thought I'd post it. Instead of posting a CD copy of the tape that I had, I borrowed the tape from the person I got my copy from. I'm glad I did, as his tape turned out to be a very old Maxell Metal particle tape, which is the way he rec'd it from a Zep trader at least 20 years ago. 

I've heard of several different boot LP's that have been made of this show, and this is supposedly not from any of those. The recording is so clean and sharp that you can really hear every minute thing that happens on stage,,,,,comments that Ozzy makes under his breath, guitars being plugged and unplugged, every little thing, very loud and clear. Some pops audible between songs have been debated as being LP surface noise, but with constant plugging and unplugging going on between songs, I don't think that's the case. The main things that convince me that this is an actual source tape are the lack of cuts which would be indicative of a boot LP of this length(at least four sides of wax), and the inclusion of ALL of the between song dialogue INCLUDING almost 2 solid minutes between the main set and the encore of nonstop soundboard audience noise through the on-stage mics. None of that is common in the boot LP world. Even though the opening intro is missing, this is also the longest, most complete unedited version.... from what I've been told.

04. A Saucerful Of Secrets (22:41)
05. Interstellar Overdrive (15:51)

Notes:
The 2-CD Westworld, the fourth release of the Pink Floyd label Sigma, is an outstanding recording of the very popular soundboard recording of the live show at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, CA on April 29th, 1970, which had been previously released numerous times on CD on titles such as Interstellar Encore (Pigs on the Wing OMS 002/3), Pink Pigs Over Fillmore West (Euro Boots EB-30), Magic Makes The World Go Round (Moonage Daydream Records), and Fillmore (Highland HL642/643). On each of the first 3 titles, approx. the first 3 minutes of “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun” are unfortunately missing, as it starts with a fade-in. On Sigma’s Westworld and Highland’s Fillmore, however, these first 3 minutes of “Set The Controls” have been patched in from a slightly inferior recording to make it complete, as one can hear the sound quality suddenly improve a little at approx. 3:00 into the track.
So at least we have the complete show without any edits.

As for the sound quality of Sigma’s Westworld, it’s certainly superb, but unfortunately doesn’t seem to be any better than that of Highland’s Fillmore, which seems to be only a very slight upgrade over the other 3 titles mentioned above (the last one, Moonage Daydream Records’ Magic Makes The World Go Round, has a normalization issue since its bonus tracks are noticeably louder than those of its Fillmore West ‘70 show). In fact, if given a choice between Sigma’s Westworld and Highland’s Fillmore, I would probably choose the latter over the former because it seems to sound a tiny bit crisper. Other than that, any noticeable or significant differences between the two couldn’t be identified.

As most Floyd fans know, this excellent early ‘70 performance was actually concluded with 2 brilliant encores, “A Saucerful of Secrets” and “Interstellar Overdrive”, and the latter is actually not from the same soundboard source as the rest of the show, unfortunately being sourced from an audience recording of that same night. But the drop-off in sound quality going from “Saucerful” to “Interstellar” is only so slightly that it may even go unnoticed by some listeners.
The artwork of Westworld is fine, with Sigma having used classy-looking glossy inserts again.
But overall it’s recommended only to those who are looking for the complete version of “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun” that includes its first 3 minutes and/or sound quality that’s just a little bit better than that of the earlier releases, such as the 3 titles mentioned above. Or, if you’re like (actress) Nancy McKeon and don’t even have the Fillmore West ‘70 show at all in your personal collection, then you shouldn’t wait to get Sigma’s Westworld, or Highland’s Fillmore as an alternative choice that’s pretty much just as great, if not a tiny bit greater.

This is probably my favorite collection of Steely Dan outtakes, featuring embryonic versions of songs that would appear not only on Katy Lied, but others that would resurface on The Royal Scam and Aja. Also, I would rank “Mr. Sam” as the greatest lost Steely Dan track, even above “The Second Arrangement.”

We are approaching the end, after 10 years of Special Series, so I wanted top bring something from my archives which is a kind of special. This is a rare, complete, recording of Kate's only show in Paris, during her 1979 tour. This was held at the rather elegant Theatre des Champs-Élysées in avenue Montaigne. I got this one about 20 years ago from a friend who got a copy from the taper. All I could know is that the equipment he recorded the show was not the most modern one but I think this is a nice sounding recording for 1979.

The setlist is not a surprise since it did not change during the whole tour, but of course playing the Gymnopedie in the country of Satie was a kind of special.

I would rate the sound of this as 7/10, a bit hissy but on the other side the audience is not heard a lot and not disturbing the performance.

David Bowie - 1976-04-17 - Zurich, CH (AUD/FLAC)




(Audience FLAC)

David Bowie
Date: 17. April 1976
Venue: Hallenstadion
City: Zurich
Country: Switzerland

Matrix of 2 different audience recordings from the same show.

Lineage (Both recordings): 
1. gen. Tape > Technics Rs-bx501 > Zoom H2N (24/96) Flac

Processing:
Flac files of 2 recordings (96 kHz/24 bit) -> Switch Sound File Converter Plus (downsample 96/24 > 48/24) >  Magix Music Cleaning Lab (Remaster 48/24)
> Switch Sound File Converter Plus (downsample 48/24 > 44/16) > TLH (Fix SBEs) > BowieStation 

Concerning the making of the matrix the processing was more or less the same as with the previous matrix:

Both recordings were incomplete as both had several cuts and have quite distinctive differences in sound. As a result of the matrix 
the sound is very balanced between frequencies. To adapt the single bits from either one or the other tape to the overall sound some EQ was necessary. Also I lifted the bass and treble of the combination a bit.

As always the biggest challenge was the differences in speed of both tapes. As usual with such old recordings (and gens) the speed was inconsistent within each track.
So it took quite a while to fix this. I was orientating the speed towards version 2. 
Version 1 has some problems with higher levels in sound and so also the matrix is suffering from this a bit.
The concert as such for me sounds very committed. David is in very good mood and after the band introduction he states: "...you are the audience ....and I am David Bowie"
