RE-UPLOAD: Nina Hagen - VHS Video Compilation 1980-1989 (PAL DVD)

 

Excellent 2 hours compilation! Huge Thanks to Egg_Crisis for sharing this collection here.


Info File:

I left these in the order they were, from the various tapes I transferred them from.
It might have been better to put them in chronological order but I find too much
messing around with the files seems to desync them so I left them as they are.

Cassette(unknown but probably low gen,radio broadcast,TDK D90) > TravisBickle1963 transfer to .wav > Soundforge(normalise,editing) > CDWave(split on sector boundaries) > flac(6)

I had a dilemma over how to track this - the radio DJ's talk over many of the intros - I could have put the track splits after the DJ's finished talking but in the end I decided to track it as if the DJ's aren't there so the intros of each song aren't cut weirdly.

Tape flip between track 11 & 12.

The tape is labelled 22.7.86 but this page confirms Paleo Festival as running from 24th-27th July:
https://yeah.paleo.ch/en/edition/1986
Setlist.fm (although it's user-generated and prone to error like everything else) gives the date as July 24th so we'll go with that one:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nina-hagen/1986/la-prairie-de-colovray-nyon-switzerland-6bc056b2.html

The sound in the right channel dropped very quiet for 48 seconds (from 35:15-36:03), I replaced it with sound from the left channel. (30 seconds of this is the DJ talking anyway.)

"Was Es Ist" from the album "Angstlos" was played during the post-gig chat, so I removed it.

Setlist.fm lists a gig at The Venue on 11th April but not 10th.  See enclosed scan of gig advertisement for the 10th.  Either she played 2 nights or the setlist.fm listing is an error.

Thanks to Egg_Crisis, TravisBickle1963 and Shaun M. for making this recording available.  Good FM broadcast.

Radio broadcast. AM radio.

There were 2 recordings of this gig in different quality - both from AM radio, the other had more bass but this has much more clarity and less hiss.  I used 2 min 42 seconds from the other version (with a little bit of noise reduction to lessen the hiss) that had been missed during the tape flip (last 1:04 of Iki Maska/first 1:38 of my Way).  That's a lot missing, maybe the taper had left the room and didn't realise the tape had ended.  I also added a missing 20 sec at the start and 12 sec at the end to make it as complete as possible.

Thanks to super team Egg_Crisis and TravisBickle1963 and the taper Shaun M. for making this recording available. Sound is very good.

Tape flip before Herman Heiss Er but with a few sec overlap so it could be joined.
Original tape flip before No More Ego, and another before What it Is.

At 3:20-4:37 (Closing seconds of Zarah/start of TV Glotzer) the left channel went quiet and muffled, I copied the right channel as that was ok.  Also there's a couple of cuts in this section - it sounds like there was a problem with the tape in an earlier generation.

Nina Hagen - Hammersmith Palais, London, UK - 18.11.1986 (Flac)

Thanks to Egg_Crisis for another one from his fabulous collection of tapes.

Cassette(audience,TDK D90,low gen,from record fair in 1987) > wav > Soundforge(normalise) > CDWave > split on sector boundaries > flac(6)

I'd say this is low gen as I got it only a few months after the gig.

My c90 had a slight overlap between side A & B so nothing was lost there.
Tape flip is at around 59 minutes (so a c120 must have been used for the master) between Spirit In The Sky & Zarah, with no music missed during the flip.  The only other cut is during the encore break.

The encore is a 12 minute version of Don't Kill The Animals which was missing from a setlist I found online.  Maybe the taper of that other version had a bus to catch and didn't hang around!

Lineup (announced during the final song)...

guitar - Billy Liesegang
bass - Julian Scott
drums - Peter Krause
drums - Justin Hildreth
bass - Karl Rucker
keyboard - George DeAngelis
keyboard - Roger Craig
guitar - Les Chappell
