The Waterboys - 1986-06-20 - Pilton, UK (FM/FLAC)

(FM broadcast FLAC)

Main Stage, Glastonbury Festival,
Worthy Farm, Pilton, near Glastonbury,
Somerset, England, U.K.
20th June 1986
BBC Radio 1 "In Concert" broadcast*

*exact date of broadcast unknown after all this time, but definitely this was from the first broadcast of this concert by the BBC, so probably sometime between the last week of June 1986 and the end of September 1986 (often then, compared to now, there used to be much longer delays before these Glastonbury shows tended to be first broadcast on the radio by the BBC).

This is a master FM recording (so not sourced from any of the old silver bootlegs of this show such as "A Golden Day"), and this has been recently re-mastered by me from my original TDK SA-60 cassette tape to FLAC (see the lineage below). Presumably due to the age (and repeated usage, i.e. playing) of the original tape, there are some slight tape drop-outs, mainly only noticeable during the first song.

Master FM recording, lineage as follows :-

BBC Radio 1 FM -> Roof Aerial -> Marantz ST151L Tuner -> Aiwa ADF770 3-Head Cassette Deck -> TDK-SA (Type II) cassette tape

Conversion to FLAC :-

Master Type II source tape -> Aiwa ADF770 Cassette Deck (play) -> SB Extigy soundcard -> CoolEdit Pro 2.1 -> WAV -> TLH -> FLAC

01 - Medicine Bow {3:09}
02 - Be My Enemy {4:26}
03 - Maggie's Farm {4:54} (cover of a Bob Dylan song)
04 - Old England {5:48}
05 - The Thrill Is Gone {4:18} /
06 - The Healing Has Begun {5:42} (cover of a Van Morrison song)
* (tape flip - no music lost as far as I can tell)
07 - The Pan Within {8:31} [including "Because The Night" (cover of a Bruce Springsteen song)]
08 - Whole Of The Moon {5:28}
09 - Spirit {7:02}
10 - Savage Earth Heart {9:09}

Length = 59 minutes approx

Master - Audience recording

Taping-location: front row, a bit on the left side

Sound-quality: excellent, had to adjust the sound at the beginning a bit

Catering: ./.

Parking-costs: sorry, no parking-costs

Weather-conditions: dark and cold (outside), dry and very cold (inside)

Event: not sold-out at all

Equipment: Zoom H4N - Sound professional microphones SP-CMC-8

concert-info: The Waterboys came over to Germany for just one gig to present their new record „Modern Blues“. That came over mostly very fine, only sometimes it sounded to me as music for men with big beer stomaches. Mike Scott and his band played a nice, but solid gig in this -for me unknown concert-hall. It was really cold inside, the stage was very big, but this hall does not have any atmosphere at all, just four walls on a stone-ground with one bar on each side, toilets and that stage. Boring!! So, my last visit to the Waterboys in the same town, but much better „Gloria“-theatre is the one I prefer!!

Anyway, it's worth grabbing it, the sound is quiet good!!!

Including Cover-Artwork! (will seed the back-cover again with the tracks as sonn as I got it!!)
