  2. Wow, this is like New Order heaven, what a brilliant site, thanks so much.

    Someone should try syncing this quality bootleg to the video, it can't be all that hard to do can it?
    It's an amazing performance, would be good for posterity !

  3. Thanks for posting links to the files up on here - I hadn't heard or seen a lot of this stuff and probably wouldn't have if it wasn't for you.

    Thanks very much.

  4. Is this one??
    If so, there's a better version sourced directly from Duncan's. Was on Dime months ago, but couldn't get it full.

    This was seeded on Sharingthegroove last summer, but suffered from errors in the transfer stage (i.e. it was distorted). Booomboom kindly retransferred it and sent it to me, with a view to me re-seeding it. Here it is, finally!

    There were still issues with the peak levels causing distortion. Also, one channel was lower than the other, and suffered drop-outs due to magnetic tape deterioration. I have corrected these flaws as best I can using Adobe Audition (I did this over 8 months ago so I can't remember every audio plug-in I used, unfortunately). I think I did a pretty good job, considering!

    I shall leave the final words to Booomboom, in the notes to his original seed :

    "You have to wait a long time , but now , here it is !!!
    Enjoy it , I think ,it`s great quality , nearly excellent
    for an audience tape , there is an fade out after
    track 09 to change the tape. I love the version of
    " In a lonely Place " very much ,always hearing to the
    nice drumming.Okay,there`s nothing more to say,after downloading
    you can write some comments,please !"

    God bless 'im!

  5. Also there's a poster

    Maybe there's more than one version of the gig:

    Booom, did you digitise Berlin 81 at all?

    [His reply, unedited]:

    No,and I have a little problem with that. The original was taped by a Uher reel to reel ,I have the reel to reel tape , but my reel to reel machine ( I hope , that's the right word ) is not working fine in the moment , when I put the cables to the output ,I have a loud "Rattle & Hum ". So I first have to fix my machine and after that I can work with the reel to reel tapes , I think in a few weeks, but I promise you , I will seed it.

    "for the perfect history , you can hear me speaking before track 10, I'm saying a bad german word (Arschloch) that means asshole to my neighbour, because he is crying in my microphones. (this part is only avaiable at my mastertape, 2 seconds)
