Show 225 - Gary Numan - Live At The Glasgow Apollo - 20 Sept 1983

 

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 FM broadcast from Radio Clyde. This one was from a cassette I bought in the 80s - probably on Camden Market in London - I used to get loads from there at that time. I transferred it to digital, then cleaned it up and got to work. As often with radio broadcasts from the time, it was a rather dry and thin mix but at least the tape was in decent condition still.

What Was Done
A few tape dropouts and glitches were fixed, tape noise reduced and the gig was in 2 halves either side of a radio announcer and adverts, so I edited as much of that out as possible and merged in the rest. Once that was done, I got to work with EQ etc and the usual studio toys to bring some clarity and live muscle to the sound mix, and then mastered. The result is really clear; I'm sure you'll enjoy it. There's another Warriors tour FM recording on the site featuring quite a few different tracks, so don't miss that one.

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.
