Show 192 - Gary Numan - Live at Danforth Music Hall Toronto - 18 Feb 1980

 

A quick request. If you plan on downloading this and putting it on your YouTube channel or your own bootleg page - I don't mind. But a credit to this website where you found it and a link back to this page would be really appreciated. It helps me gauge which artists are popular - ie more chance of other restorations coming. Don't just steal it, cut out the intro and outro and take the credit. Thanks.

The Show
An audience recording from the time. A pseudo stereo version was passed to me by a listener a while back and while it was super wide and clear, it was also...not very powerful. Everything sounded quite far away, if you like. So I found the original mono version elsewhere on the internet and decided I would have more fun improving that.

What Was Done
There were some gaps and fadeouts - removed the gaps and improved the fadeouts so the gig flows better (the first few seconds of a couple of songs are sadly missing). Volume was a bit up and down in places - fixed that. There was some mains hum noticeable in quiet parts - removed most of that. The last few songs sound like they're from a different source and were louder on the left than the right - fixed that. Once that was done, I got to work with EQ and the usual studio toys to bring some clarity to the sound mix, and then mastered to make it clearer and more powerful overall, and wider. The result is really really nice; I'm sure you'll enjoy it. And if, like me, you really enjoy those drum fills in Bombers - turn the sound up for a treat! Ced is nice and clear in this recording.

Supporting The Site

If you want to support the work I do on these recordings, and the site, and (if you wish to) obtain separate, fully tagged 320kbps MP3s of this restoration for less than the price of a coffee in return, or lossless FLACs or even a lossless copy on CDR, head on over to the Rewards For Donations tab to see how you can obtain these for a very small donation towards the site costs. There is no obligation to do so of course - you can take the file on this page absolutely for free - but every single donation does go towards this site and domain/storage costs, and helps the site stay open, and helps me do more shows. Either way, enjoy the show.
