The Show
The source for this was a BBC Transcription disc I believe (vinyl) so I imagine it was intended for broadcast in the USA.The original had fadeouts after several songs (I guess to facilitate advertising breaks), some vinyl clicks and pops and the odd bit of vinyl noise. Otherwise it was in good condition. The performance of the band, pre fame and fortune, is superb - their career would take off soon after. This recording features the first live appearance of Message In A Bottle - their first #1 single in the UK when released much later in the year. 

What Was Done
I blended the songs together better where there were fades and then got on with improving the basic sound quality. Really, it was improving the clarity, tightening up the bass and drums a bit and making them more audible in the mix, and separating out the guitar, bass, drums and vocals a bit. Once that was done, I mastered to make it more powerful. 

This one is well worth a listen - they really are on fire during this gig and the crowd respond accordingly. Despite Sting saying more than once how great the crowd is and how they will have to come back - fate had other things (and bigger venues) in store for them, and as far as I can tell, they never did. I hope you can enjoy it.

Show 240 - Simon and Garfunkel - Tufts University Medford Massachusetts - 11 March 1967

The Show
There has been debate online about when this show is from. Originally recorded with a view to releasing a live album, it was finally released as a bootleg many years later without The Leaves That Are Green included as being from 1966. Sometime later, the source for THIS version was released with a slightly different venue (referring to the same place) and marked as March 1967. Most sources seem to now confirm the gig as being from 1967. What is definitely agreed on is that the gig took place at the Cousens Gymnasium, part of Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts!

What Was Done
Listening to the original, it's understandable why the live album was never released - recording levels were overloaded at times, generally with Paul's guitar sounding "boxy" and being far too loud when he was playing more loudly, and there were many (many!) bumps on the microphones throughout. Most of that I've been able to remove, along with much tape hiss. Then I got to work on reducing the low end which was muddy, so the guitar comes through better and mastered to separate out the sound a bit, so the guitar and vocals are clearer.

Anyway, it was a lot of work but I love Simon and Garfunkel and thought I could do something to make this special show more listenable.

The Show
A soundboard recording put on YouTube recently by the sound engineer on the night who recorded it. I have linked to that at the bottom of the page, so you can hear the source, and compare against what I've done to improve the sound quality. This was originally requested by a client of mine I do audio repair for, and just a week or 2 later, by 1 of my regular listeners. 

What Was Done
As you might expect, given the original source - this was in a pretty good state of repair. A few cuts between songs, and the volume levels of some songs were lower than others but nothing serious. Once I fixed those, I removed some noise and got to work on improving the clarity and presence, emphasised the bass end and drums a bit while were pretty quiet, and separated out the instruments. Once that was done, I mastered to widen the sound - this was a soundboard in mono - most live sound was in mono back then - and make it more powerful. Soundboards can also sound rather dry and "upfront" so I added a touch of reverb to make it sound a bit more natural.

Anyway, I think it sounds far more clear and powerful now. I hope you enjoy it!

The Show

Iggy Pop, during his Blah Blah Blah tour, which marked his most commercially successful period. This is recording from a Dutch FM radio broadcast, as such it probably isn't the complete set, however you do get just over an hour's worth. 

What Was Done 

Someone else had worked on it before me I think in some way - it was VERY LOUD ALL THE WAY THROUGH. And not particularly clear. So I worked on the music balance to make it less tiring to listen to, clearer, tighter, all the usual things. There was some damage that needed fixing - a few clicks and dropouts, plus 1 section where the right channel had some very bad FM interference on it which I was mostly able to disguise. Oddly however, while the recording starts in stereo, the last 3 songs are in mono. Lust For Life fades out with a Dutch radio announcer talking a lot and it comes back in on the next track in mono. Weird. I faded out the Dutch talking and faded back in, then did my best to make the change far less jarring by working on those 3 mono songs separately and then bringing everything back together.

A fair bit of work but I'm very happy to have a seminal artist like Iggy Pop on the site finally and it's his usual enthusiastic and energetic performance. I hope you enjoy it.

Show 237 - David Sylvian - Live At Hammersmith Odeon London - 30 May 1988

Don't just steal it, cut out the intro and outro and take the credit. Thanks.

The Show
From the UK leg of David Sylvian's first solo tour - the In Praise Of Shamans" tour. A show by him has been on my requested list for a long time - I could only find this one of a complete show, and while it was in good condition generally, it was very very bass heavy, to the point of distorting in places. I have worked on this on and off for the last couple of years, coming back to it every few months. However, it's the full show, in stereo, so well worth finishing off. 

What Was Done
All the clipped areas I did my best to reduce - you may still hear a few. I fixed some crackling that was audible. A few odd cuts and gaps tidied up as best I could. I pulled out midrange frequencies which was making the bass very "woofy" and that has allowed the rest of the instruments to come through better. The drums now go "thud" rather than "boink" (!). There's more "audio space" generally, and a little more top end, and less low down. Sylvian himself was pretty quiet in the mix, so I've brought his vocals up a bit so he can be heard. Mastering was then done for clarity and to bring out the live feel a little more. 

Anyway, it was a lot of work but live recordings of Mr Sylvian are not common, so this was well worth spending some time on. I hope you enjoy it!

The Show
A listener got in touch last year, after Rick Davies from Supertramp sadly passed away, and requested I do a show from the band, if I could find one. Well, it took me a while to find one but here it is. In the notes with it, it is listed as the last show Roger Hodgson performed with the band - and indeed, he even announces it during the gig. 

However, I'm not convinced - everything online points to him leaving at the end of the tour, a couple of months away. Maybe they persuaded him to stay on and finish the tour. Or he had temporary second thoughts.

What Was Done
I think this was an FM broadcast - there was some FM interference at times which I removed as much as possible. Someone had put this onto 2 CDs at some stage so there were fadeouts and fadeins to deal with. A couple of tape dropouts were fixed too. 

Then it was on to improve the clarity, tighten up the low end and make it more audible, and separate out the instruments. Once that was done, I mastered and it now sounds much clearer and more powerful than before.  

What you end up with is a superb stereo live performance by a band who really could play and sing. This is a great live set. Rest in peace, Rick Davies.

Links Update - March 2026

 

March 31 2026

For years now, all my links have been shortened with the bit.ly url shortening service. However, they introduced popups a few months ago which are causing some users issues when clicking on my links, especially if they (quite sensibly!) have a pop up blocker installed.

All new links posted from January 2026 onwards no longer use bit.ly and use direct links to the files, so there should be fewer issues. I am now working my way through previously posted restorations to replace those links as well - but with over 200 shows to do, this is taking time. I do try and focus on all the shows here always being available and I pay for that to happen, so I am keen to get all file links fixed. 

Progress so far

All shows posted from 2018 onwards - that would be from show number 118 onwards - have had links changed. As an added bonus, the shows have also been moved to my newer cloud service which allows streaming - so if you don't want to download and want to just have a quick listen to see what it sounds like, you can do. 

Shows 1-117 have not yet been done, apart from a few odd ones that have been replaced individually - it will mention streaming on the page if that's happened. Hopefully all will be complete by the Summer.

If anyone has any issues in the meantime, and can't download a show for any reason - please contact me.

Show 235 - John Foxx - Live At The Palladium Rome - 7 December 1983

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
John Foxx only toured once in the 1980s - towards the end of 1983 in support of his 3rd album, The Golden Section. I am indebted to a listener of Live And Loud! Shows who recently got in touch and donated a lot of recordings of different bands, including this one.  This is an audience recording made at the gig. Some damage - clicks, dropouts, a short part missing altogether, some fadeouts. And unfortunately it is missing the final encore, Your Dress, but the rest of the show is present.

What Was Done
Despite the damage, the taper was in a good position on the night to get a fairly clear recording so it was well worth working on. I repaired the missing part in the first song (see if you can spot where!) and then repaired the rest. Then it was on to improve the clarity, tightening up the bass and drums a bit, and separating out the instruments. Once that was done, I mastered to widen the sound somewhat, make the vocals a bit more prominent in the mix and make it all sound more powerful overall. As with most live gigs - especially those recorded in the crowd over 40 years ago - you will hear the odd bit of feedback. The beauty of audience recordings though is you can sometimes shut your eyes and imagine you're standing there. This is not a sanitised live recording - this is what you heard on the night.

Anyway, it may have been a lot of work but live recordings of John Foxx are not common, so this was well worth spending extra time on. I hope you can enjoy it.

The Show
I can't remember where this one came from, and I thought it was an FM broadcast but it is labeled as a mono soundboard recording - usually soundboards have very little audience noise but they are certainly audible here. The show was one of many live dates in 1995 across the USA and Canada - this tour in support of their soon to be released EP Smells Like Children.

What Was Done
The original was in reasonable shape but flat, and drums and low end were barely audible in places.  Silence between applause and the next song were cleaned up and there was some feedback which I was able to remove. 

Once that was done, I used the usual studio toys to make the drums and bass more audible, everything a bit clearer and mastered to spread out the sound a bit and also make it more powerful. There's a little saturation on the recording which doesn't spoil things - if anything I think it makes it sound more like you're there in the venue listening. 

The result is clear and powerful - a great record of how Marilyn Manson sounded that early in their career.

The Show
A cassette recording of an FM stereo broadcast from the time. Generally sounding flat and rather muffled and with a couple of cuts where the tape was apparently flipped over or stopped. 

What Was Done
The volume was rather ...varied, to say the least - like whoever recorded it realised their levels were a bit high and reduced them here and there to keep them from peaking - Sex Crime was substantially louder than the end of the gig, put it that way. Fixed all that. A couple of cuts from tape flipping or stopping. 1 I left as someone had edited it already to stay "on the beat" and doing my usual fade out/fade in crossover would have lost too much of the music; the other I did fade out and back in. I got to work on improving the sound quality with EQ and the usual studio toys after that. That made things much clearer and more powerful. Finally I mastered it, left it a few days, came back to it and...redid the mastering as I no longer liked what I'd done. 

The result now is a great sounding gig in full stereo of course, very powerful and a great record of the band at the time. It really is an excellent performance. And I say that as someone who only really enjoyed some of their singles.

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.

Subscribe And Share

Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE TO THE FREE EMAIL NEWSLETTER (spam free) so you never miss news on which new gigs are going to be restored and uploaded here; any news will be delivered to your inbox. And your email address won't be sold on by me as a result.

And if you like this recording, please spread the news and share the page link to anyone you think might be interested - Facebook fan groups, web forums, Bluesky, Mastodon, X, Threads, Instagram are a great way of spreading the word - that way, I always find out which bands are popular and can do more shows by them in the future. So please tell ya mates about the site and this page! Many thanks.
