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, sent to me by a listener to the site. Vangelis live recordings are not very common but this wasn't very good quality and while I always intended to try and restore it for the website, I tried once or twice before and put it away again for another day. Until last week when I pulled it out again and finally found a way to make it sound much better.
What Was Done
The original was very toppy - everything sounded thin with lots of harsh treble and no lower end. It was also, of course, mono. And being a transfer from an old tape there were various dropouts. And when anyone in the crowd nearby spoke or cheered, well that was very loud indeed.
So - dropouts fixed, a limiter used on several areas where the audience were a little excited, and I even removed a cough or audience speech here and there. Volume was a bit up and down in places - fixed that too. Once that was done, noise reduction and some mains hum was removed - and then out came the EQ and the usual studio toys to bring back some low end, stop the "tinny" sounds, make everything sound clearer, and then mastered to make it clearer still, and more powerful overall, and a lot wider, without making it sound "weird". The result is far far better and I think now you can sit down with this on headphones and enjoy it.
The All Important Download/Stream Link
As always, the restored
and remastered show is available to download or stream for free as a
single 320kbps MP3. Just hit the link:
Setlist
There is no real setlist for this one, but the set is broadly split into half a dozen pieces, where Vangelis explores and jams through some familiar and less works.
Be sure to check out the other gig from Vangelis I've restored HERE - also available for free.
Supporting The Site
If
you want to support the work I do on these recordings, 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. There is NO OBLIGATION to do so of course - you can take the
file on this page absolutely for free - but every single donation is
appreciated and helps me do more shows and update some of the
software I use as time goes by. Either way, enjoy the show.
