Excellent sound, this was broadcast on the London Wavelength Concert Hour. 1979 the ! has gone from the name and John Foxx would soon follow. This also features an Ultravox version of "He's A Liquid" which would see light the following year on the excellent John Foxx album "Metamatic".

Billed as a Special Boxing Day concert. This is the last show of 1978. The 1979 U.S. tour started in February.

This is an incomplete show. It's only Side one of the tape I have. There are a few cds out there of this show but this is NOT cd sourced. It's from a cassette tape I bought in Portabello Road, London in 1985 ish. I can't find or locate the tape. Mods just let me know if you would like this show removed and I will remove it forthwith.

Lineage:
Soundboard & Audience > Fm & Unknown Audience Recorder > Unknown Recording Process > Magix Audio Cleaning Lab > WAV > FLAC

Audio Quality: Fm = C+, Audience = C-- > There are audio dropouts and inconsistent sound quality. Also, some songs
start abruptly due to the commercials being cut out. Audio quality varies between SB and audience as well as during SB songs there is variation. Even though this is mostly Fm, there are some sound issues with this. If no better source becomes available I might try to work on this one to improve it if possible.
Overall, it is not to bad and is reasonably listenable throughout but only worthy of a C+ at best in my opinion.

Notes: 
I arrived at the venue just in time, 10mins before the show started but could easily position myself at a perfect spot in the centre about 15m away from the stage. It was really sad to see that so few people had shown up for what is very likely to be the final tour of this fantastic group. I would estimate that only about 600 people were attending, maybe less. In a venue with a capacity of 3500 this doesn't look too good, it's a shame. 

After the rather short 1st set I didn't expect the overall show to be this long, what a nice suprise! For my taste they've played every song I had wished for. Midge's voice was on top form and the old lads had a hell of a lot of fun on stage despite the low attendance. But the crowd was in a very enthusiastic mood and dancing all the time so that made up for it a bit.

This will fit on one CD if you're using Nero to burn and can override the default of 80 minute maximum.

Outstanding quality master tapes loaned to me by RH and not shared here before.
Even though Midge Ure is singing and not John Foxx the band sounds fantastic. Includes live versions of entire Vienna LP, B-Side to Passing Strangers single (Face To Face), two tracks from John Foxx era Systems Of Romance (Quiet Men, Slow Motion) and one track from Ha!-Ha!-Ha! (Hiroshima Mon Amour). Total surprise is encore cover of King's Lead Hat by Brian Eno.

previously listed as March 4, 1979 but that is not correct since Ultravox played 4 shows in Boston in March 79, 2 on March 3 and 2 more on March 4th. This is likely a day or two before or after that.
2nd show

remaster notes:
This appears to be either a different date or show than listed, since they played 2 shows in Boston on March 3rd and 2 more on the 4th. The BBC broadcast posted a few times before is from one of those shows, and that is an edited version of the show missing about 20 min. this doesn't sound like that show. If it's from Buffalo, it's probably a day or two before or after the listed date. It needed speed correction (again) so I slowed it by 9.5 cents, it needed retracking, since several tracks began with several seconds of applause, and the levels were recorded too high with clipping throughout. (not horribly, but noticably) there were also short (about .005 sec.) gaps at most of the track breaks. not any more. there were also some problems in the right side during some parts of "blue light" (or else the soundman doesn't care much for David Gilmour titles) so I monoized some short sections to cover up the missing sound without ruining it. this was an almost-deleter when I got it. Now it's considerably better, glad I remastered instead of deleted (I can't listen to pepped Ultravox, it just didn't sound like them before). and listening to it as I write this info text, it sounds pretty decent (after 4 tries to get the speed to sound right, this is the only one to get posted) I also cut out a very short section of recorder turn-on noise at the start of track 9 (only about .01 of a second) I think I got the speed right, this Ultravox band has a very distinct tone and sound to them, especially John Foxx. I've heard enough of this tour to know what it should sound like. I wouldn't be able to attempt doing this to a Jack DeJohnette's Directions recording. I think anyone who heard this before will find this more than a little improvement.
