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
A live event performed under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, to celebrate the 50 anniversary of the United Nations. Some time ago I was sent a slightly edited recording of this gig but it was on MP3. Recently I found the audio ripped from the original Laserdisc release of this, way back when. Still in relatively good condition but fairly flat. Drums and bass were low in the mix, and synths lacked any power at all really; very little low end existed. But this is the full released recording, long deleted of course, including JMJ's short speech before the last track.
What Was Done
For once, very little repair work. Only crossfading side one and side 2 to form 1 complete recording really. So an easy job then?! Well... No. I worked on the sound to improve the bottom end, bring back the bass and kick drum, make the synth pads (on Industrial Revolution, for example) powerful, so you could feel them, cleared the mix a bit to make it clearer but with elements more powerful, then mastered.
And the next day listened to it, didn't like it, so then mastered it again...
And then a couple of days later came back to it and AGAIN didn't like it, so mastered it a 3rd time!
This one I'm happy with. It's clearer, more powerful and sounds now more like a live concert. So turn it up, slap on a pair of decent headphones or play it through good speakers, and enjoy.

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.
