Do not sell this recording. Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly. comments: This is one of 2 PG masters I have, but even though it was recorded with my deck and mikes, I was not at this show. My friend who recorded this show was sitting in the vicinity of 20th row, right in the middle on the floor. Although Peter's talk is not real clear, and not always loud enough, his vocals and all the instruments come through in You Are There fashion. You can't get much more there than the 20th row in the middle of the Orpheum. The AKG's do pretty well for this kind of music, and it was good music from Peter's 3rd album tour, creatively entitled "Peter Gabriel" (just as were the 1st 2). The crowd was very supportive, even patient when Peter was having some trouble deciding what to play next, and after some level variations that I've fixed the best I can in the 1st song "Intruder", the sound and recording quality get up to a B+ range and stay there for the rest of a nice concert, except a little more variation and some distortion in first part of "all through the wire" when the levels got bumped during the encore break. It's a very nice recording, and it needed some fairly serious ICPVR (individual clap peak volume reduction) to get it upload-ready, now it sounds better than ever, other than that, also done to reduce some mike knocks, DC offset and normalizing to balance the levels out, nothing else has been done to alter this nice master recording except some splicing to smooth out flips. I haven't heard quite enough PG on his own to know how this stacks up to his other 1980 performances (I've only heard 1 other, from N.Y.) but I thought this was a good show, probably not Peter's absolute best but certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks to J. Z. for recording this one. (not Jay-Zee, the rapper, different guy entirely) He managed to flip both times between songs well enough so you may not even be able to figure out where the flips are (I like that.) I think this may have been his first recording with a manual level setting deck, and after the 1st 3 minutes or so, he did a good job setting them not too low or high, not always easy at a Peter show, even with good seats and sound. It may well have been his first PG show too and he had a great time. I have about 20 PG shows (w/o Genesis) and this is one of my favorites, even more now that it's remastered. There is a fadeout after Games Without Frontiers, and a fadein before band introductions for the purpose of burning to disc. There was a deck shutoff between encores but only a couple of Peter's words are cut out there, the song is not cut. |
