Show 238 - Iggy Pop - Live In Utrecht Netherlands - 24 Nov 1986

 

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

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.

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.
