The quality is superb, maybe a little job in removing compression would be great!

Maybe time travel back to '79 in Budokan would be great too. Almost as easy as removing the compression.
If you only want to mask it then someone trained in masking his/her own incompetence and inferiority is fit for this job.

Thanks for sharing Luca. It's true that the dynamic range is lost forever with the compression used. No point in trying to get it back I'm afraid.

Thanks for sharing it here!

Your sarcasm and your communication tecniques are always welcome.
Anyway, thanks Kurgan for the info.

Thank you very much!

WoW, this is great. Way better than the offcial QPL release of this year. thanks a lot!!

I always knew this was a kickass show better than the two surrounding it

Actually, much can be done to curb the effects of compression. Of course you can't restore it to the original sound, but it's far from hopeless.

Just check out the Stark remasters of 4-14-79 and 2-16-81 - they're excellent.

While I dread the copious amount of compression done to these tapes, a new Peach tape is something I still look forward to. Thanks a million BootLuca!!!

Stark's work on the 5-1-75 gig is also another good example.

I am familiar with Stark works and also with the software he used. Har-Bal is very good for audio restoration, especially in the lower spectrum, which is difficult to properly adjust with a regular eq. The harmonic balance algorithm provides semi-automatic results, most useful when you can't decide about frequency, gain or bandwidth.

The compression issue is not solved, but the excellent Stark remasters makes you forget about compression.

Yeah, he did a good job in masking it.

Maybe you could do a couple of the Taranturas for us then !?

Certainly sounds like the man for the job.
Do you reckon he can time travel too......
..... and is he by any chance Stark's alter ego?

Thanks a lot.

here's a WIP of the first 15 minutes of the show.

I used clip restoration to reduce the loudness by 5 decibels, speed corrected it, EQ'd to balance the sound out as it was almost all treble, and I synced a blank template version of the WWRY tape at the beginning to make the sound a bit clearer.
