Concerts For The People of Kampuchea [2015 edition]

Thanks!

Thanks for this amazing work!

About your question about the outro of the Clash:

Watch this website, it is pretty hard to find but it is a Queenlive.ca for The Clash:

"The White Men CD release includes an Outroduction track, which sheds some light on the taper(s) of this excellent recording.

Bob Gruen blew his bugle intro as The Clash hit the stage (as he had done at Acklam Hall) and an American voice is heard asking the taper “How was that? Marvellous Complete Control, did you hear my bugle?..when I played that trumpet”. Bob, as it must have been, talks to the taper about their band, touring and when they will release their third LP.

They also confirm they will be there the next night for Wings. The tapers were not Clash fans as they say Complete Control was the only decent song performed. It is very likely that Bob would have been backstage and therefore it makes it even more likely that the tapers were backstage or how else would they have captured such an excellent sound? But who were they, does anyone know?

Certainly the tapers deserve a vote of thanks from the thousands of Clash fans who over the years have enjoyed listening to this excellent Clash performance which while lacking the mania and frequent chaos of the earlier punk years makes up for it with professional, pace, precision and controlled power".

"The White Men CD includes an “outroduction” of Barry “Scratchy” Myers reminding the audience of the upcoming 16 Tons Tour, an announcement about parking in the nearby Old Folk’s Home (!) and the afore mentioned dialogue with Bob Gruen and our esteemed taper. "

Bob Gruen is a photograph specialized in rock acts and was very close to the Clash at this time.

Yes, it's (almost) completely different. A different equalization for the audience source, a new video source (better and longer), new soundboard sources, better speed correction, better merge/matrix process...[/QUOTE]

thanks...

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much indeed!

Many thanks, Pittrek ! These concerts are some of my favourite of all-time. Queen and the Clash were at their artistic peaks, as were the Pretenders, Ian Dury and others. Given your excellent track record, I am sure the watermarks do not affect the integrity of the sound (ideally, a tiny modification of audience noise would surely suffice). With respect, though, I think you are wrong to have converted the Youtube Who audio (128kbps) to lossless, I'd have left it in mp3 format myself. False upgrading to lossless is not only a waste of disc/storage space but is misleading to people who just see the FLAC or WAV nomenclature and not the lineage.... I know some folk hate mp3/lossy, but lets call a spade a spade, so to speak... The 128kbps sounds OK-to-good, very similar to the BBC iPlayer output for Radio 2 and BBC6 Music. Anything less than 128 does sound a bit "lacking"/poor to my ears...
Apart from that minor criticism, well done ,great job !

Wauw nice work ! Thanks.

I quite dislike those soundboard feeds like on Earls Court , Hyde Park ( I cannot enjoy the video due to it's watery sounding audio) , and of course the Hammy 79 one. I always wondered .... is it possible .... could it be possible to make a simultain merge of the audio and the bootleg.... Seems to be a awfull lot of work... but is this technically possible ?

Yes, it's possible, I started to work on Earls Court twice already but I always gave up because the available audience recording is crap. I couldn't hear any of my "synchronization points" in it.
Hyde Park merge of AUD/VID sources is done and I think it was already shared

Do you mean: mixing the audience from the audience recording + bass boost or drums + the rest from the soundboard recording? It could be quite hard (depending of the audience recording but make an excellent recording).

But if you mean syncing both tracks without all that hard work, it could be easiest but the result would be quite weird, I think.

Listening to it right now.
Think I discovered at least 1 watermark ;)

Thanks for the share!

2CD version, Queen gig, for those of you who might want only to listen to Queen with Freddie Mercury and without Adam Lambert.

Awesome artwork Ale Solan, thanks a lot! :D

I've just been away for one weekend and this giant compilation popped up!Thank you pittrek for this sharing, and for continuing the sharing even though they bootlegged it.

Thanks GhostWithASmile and Ale Solan and everybody involved too :)

pittrek, WATC is badly out of sync.

Thanks for the great art Alex!
