RE-UPLOAD: The Rose Of Avalanche - Duchess Of York, Leeds, UK - 29.05.1993 (DVD)

I finally managed to get a camcorder to play my old tapes.  The camcorder that I filmed these on gave up the ghost years ago. I had it repaired once, filmed one more gig, and it broke again.  For the last few weeks I've been looking for a replacement and after finding one last month that would play SP but not LP (75% of my tapes are in long play) I managed to get one this afternoon.  And wasting no time, here's something quite special.

I'm told there's some dispute over whether they played this gig as The Rose Of Avalanche or some other name.  I can state absolutely 100% this was definitely a Rose Of Avalanche gig.
It was advertised as such on Duchess flyers, as well as the notice pinned on the door that night.
Also before Always There, Phil says "This is it, the last song of the last gig of The Rose Of Avalanche".  Before Too Many Castles there's a shout of "What's the new name?" to which Glenn jokes "We'll have a Blue Peter competition"(to decide the name).  Blue Peter(for anyone overseas who might not know) being a kids tv show that has lots of competitions.

Before the first song starts, Phil sings a little bit of Zippedy Doo Dah.  We're then treated to quite a few new songs.  Phil says the titles of some of them, but there's 4 I don't know and had to guess, they're the one with (?) after the name.

I greatly enjoyed watching this video this afternoon as I transferred it.  The sound is excellent, and I did my best with the filming.

Cassette(Aud, Master, That's EX90, Recorded on Sony Recording Walkman with T-shaped external mic[Eurochannels EMC3630]) > wav > Soundforge(tidying up, removing a few clicks) > CDWave > split on sector boundaries > flac(6)


Because it's mono (see next paragraph), the flacs are half the size you'd expect them to be.
This was the last thing I ever recorded with this setup.  The recordings I made that day were plagued by problems. Earlier in the day I recorded Concrete Blonde and Jingo De Lunch. Those recordings had lots of clicks which I had to remove manually.  For the Sisters recording it didn't have the clicks (except for one or two), but the sound only came out of the left channel. the right being almost completely silent apart from a few clicks and a few bursts of sound.  I made another copy of the tape which duplicated the left channel onto both channels.  Copies I made for people were from that 1st gen copy.  I kept the original tape though and this is what I've used to make this transfer.

When I got home from Loreley I discovered the mic's extension lead had become damaged, the right channel was completely disconnected and the left was only connected by a single strand of wire.  The microphone itself just made constant clicking noises when I tried to use it again, I tried a new battery in the mic but it didn't help.  I guess some of the Loreley rain had got into it and ruined it.

I used 2 seconds from the "Dark Paradise" boot to fill in the tape flip in Flood II, and also 13 seconds at the start as I was a few seconds late in pressing record.

As Gimme Shelter starts, "This one's for Brian". (Brian Jones)
As Flood II starts, (something in German??).
Before Stop Draggin, sounds like "The river cries" ??
Before Fix, "Hit it".
In Vision thing, a changed lyric, "A little more mad in the Desert Zone", a reference to the gulf war.
As Vision Thing ends, "Thankyou... Sayonara."

Bauhaus - Larry’s Hideaway, Toronto, Canada - 04.12.1982 (Flac)

Very good audience recording. Thanks to firusan for sharing it on dime-

Original Info File:

It’s a bit redundant to post this particular Bauhaus show, as there is a very nice radio broadcast available. But when I gave this a listen, I think it is possibly the best recording I did back then with my trusty Aiwa deck. Whenever I post a show from Larry’s Hideaway, I always recall what a dive that place was, and in a nasty part of town to boot, but they must have had one great sound system – I always got good recordings there and this one is possibly the best. So if you want a nice up front audience recording of this show off a master tape, then this will be a good download. I grabbed the setlist from info about the broadcast boot. Again, I don’t recall trading this, but I might be wrong.

01. Third Uncle
02. Silent Hedges
03. In Fear of Fear
04. Spy In the Cab
05. Terror Couple Kill Colonel 06. She’s In Parties
07. Rose Garden Funeral of Sores
08. Antonin Artaud
09. Passion of Flowers
10. The Three Shadows Pic. II
11. Night Time
12. Hair of the Dog
13. Kick in The Eye
14. In the Night

Very good sound. Thanks to the original uploader.

BIbER master-series #030

Master - Audience recording from an old TDK SA C90

Equipment:
Recorder: Sony WM D3
Micro: AIWA CM 30E.

Anyway here is the master as it is on the original cassette. No corrections were made.
The sound-quality is -for its age- very good +, maybe better. Very good listenable. Well done, BIbER!

Another Kuschelrock-concert from back Kuschelrock-romantic-high-times. Don't ever ask me how I liked this one here.
The audience was partially completely verwirred.  In the background a film was running through showing the whole time the same sequences of a short war-film.
Art?
Music?
Shit?
Love it!

Cover and Label Artwork for this show is included.

And -of course- a small thanks to the original-taper: thank you, BIbER!!!!!
