notes:
Mastered very loud with small imperfections in
the indexing of the trax present. Great recording from some USA taper as it
seems!

notes as they came with the files:
I received this tape from the taper back in 1981 who travelled from the states
to Dortmund with a few friends specifically to see The Wall Live.
I know there are other sources from this date that exist, but I have never
listened to them, so I have nothing to go by as far as how this recording stacks
up to the other ones. BUT, I must say that it is very nice for an audience
recording. I have listened the 1980 LA shows, and to my ears this recording is
far superior with a fuller sound. The tapers location must have been in the
sweet spot. HOWEVER, the guys who recorded this show, were on a roll, and after
you hear a few of their comments, you can be certain they were enjoying
themselves. Nothing drastic that takes away from the recording, but some
humerous stuff that pops up from time to time. Like at the begining of Hey You,
a guy is talking about how fantastic the ice cream is and how it blows away
anything from 31 flavors.
I do not have the specifics as far as what recording rig or mics they used, but
suffice it to say, that they did a really good job and this tape is direct from
the master source.
Hope you enjoy it.
Waters before RLH: "Thank you. Please don't try and touch the pig. Thank you.
He's dangerous to some. Do you like our pig? Right, that's enough piggy. This
next song is to divert all the hecklers, not that there seems to be many here
this evening. It's called 'Run Like Hell.' You can all clap along, as soon as
Dave is ready; we can all have a damn good clap. Woo! Get down, mmmm, disco, Woo,
ha, ha" |
