Then I stumbled across this 1982 bootleg. I've decided to post it as an alternate, since it's from the same tour. Actually, it's superior in the sense that the sound quality is just as good, but it's an hour and 34 minutes long, compared to 55 minutes for the BBC concert.
The reason this sounds as good is because it's also a radio broadcast. But instead of the BBC, it was broadcast on a Scottish station called Radio Clyde. That's fitting, since this was recorded in the Scottish city of Glasgow. I believe absolutely nothing from this concert has been officially released, so I assume the copyright police won't try to block it, like the other one.
There were only a couple of problems. At the end of the song "Cancer," a radio DJ spoke over the music for about ten seconds. In a way that was lucky, because it allowed me to identify the radio station source, since the bootleg didn't mention it. But I used the UVR5 audio editing program to wipe the DJ talking and keep the music. Also, the first second or two of "Breaking Us in Two" was missing. I used a bit of the BBC concert to patch that in. So that's why those two songs have "[Edit]" in their names.
By the way, the only song on "BBC Sessions, Volume 3" that isn't here is "Tuxedo Junction."

Thanks, Paul. Haven't heard this one before. By the way, Glasgow is in Scotland, not Britain.
ReplyDeleteI always use the format of venue, city, country (or venue, city, state, if it's in the US). Scotland is still part of Britain. However, in my more informal text, I referred to Glasgow as a Scottish city.
DeleteA very good one indeed, and one of the more complete setlist of the 1982 tour. Highly recommended.
