as preserved on low-generation tapes borrowed from the cornucopia otherwise known as TJ's vault
no sound-processing; all recordings are very listenable, with the exception maybe of 830311, but this has some really interesting bits.
Mind you, half the fun in listening to most of these soundcheck recordings is being surprised by what's coming next, so I'm not going to spoil things any further and point out highlights. Anyway, this is for obsessives only (you know who you are :grin: ).
One last thing: tracks 2-3 from 810508 Reading Uni are actually identical to tracks 3-4 from 810327 Bristol, albeit recorded by 2 different tapers. Bristol may be the true location, but there's no way of knowing for sure, so I've kept the original identification from the cassette inlay.

ReplyDelete04. Leave Me Alone (guitar only)
05. Age Of Consent & LWTUA (bass only)
Unfortunately I forgot to MD5 test the set(something I don't normally do) before I retagged so I don't know if it's my download or if it's in the original file.
Hi, Fantastic site, many great N.O concerts I cant stop checking every day for new uploads!
ReplyDeleteI would echo 'appick' and there does seem to be a bug as above.
One request though-N.O did a concert I think in Ottawa around 86/87? I have a bad cassette recording of it but cant find a digital version anywhere. Barney was definitely on something that night, triggered by a verbal assault on of 'way of life' - would be great if you had a decent copy to upload
Many thanks
