FLLR GB004 - The Cure - 1991-01-17 - Town & Country Club II [secret show]

-

 

Archive dot org has all the details

Next up in the GaoBest pile was this show, which is one of two audience recordings which are known to exist for this show. recorded by both C.C. and J.F. with Sony PC-62 mics into a WM-D3.  The other audience recording was done by somebody we know as "UKBT".

GaoBest got his copied directly from J.F. when he visited him so it has an iron-clad lineage.  As well as a 16kHz line...


The master clone of the CC&JF version is already online though...if not here than via the link at the very top.  However, our suspicion is that it was sourced via minidisc so it's not truly lossless....but we won't dwell on that.


There are also two incomplete soundboard recordings, both taken from different versions of The Cure's Play Out, there's a two-hour one taken from the original Windsong VHS posted by "Marble Girl":

Or you can listen to them here:


As well as, unbeknownst to me (and not in the archive dot org link), a soundcheck version:

There's also an audience video of much of the show, which I feature on my YouTube channel...


This was taken from Adam Lipka's share, which I resized...


However, a better version of this seems to have been shared by Cure connoisseur "Petr Halla" up on YouTube...I must have missed it when looking for videos of this, oh well...unfortuately, it's not set to render inline, so I can only link to it.


And of course, a new edit of The Cure's Play Out based on what's been shared on the band's official YouTube channel. posted by "The Definitive Cure":


Is your head spinning yet (name of a Cure song)?  Mine is.  So I'll leave this as hopefully a travelogue of what's "out there" for this.  

If you want what I just digitized, I have that too...

FLLR GB001 - GaoBest tapes - Saint Etienne

  South Parade Pier, Portsmouth FLLR GB001 = Saint Etienne This first selection from this Maxell XLII 90 minute tape was recorded on 1993-03-05 at South Parade Pier, Portsmouth. Taper is abbreviated as YP, who probably recorded with a Sony TC-D3 DAT and Aiwa CM-30 mics.  GaoBest's copy comes directly from the taper. It's one of his favorites, he played it frequently before it got shelved and then loaned out to me to ascertain and compare to what's already out there.   This show is already up on YouTube, here, from  "whatdoidonow 1997 ", and my tape source doesn't better it. Turns out that my tape ran a bit fast compared to this reference, so slowed it down 4.67% or about .79 a semitone, so that it is the exact same 45:00 length.  I've also provided the original transfer so you can compare and conclude it indeed runs too fast. NOTE: this is not just true for Portsmouth, as it was pointed out to me, but for the entire tape, so I've also speed corrected t...

FLLR DAT-01 - A Box of DATs

Image
My project for this part of the year is to transfer a huge cache of DATs (pictured above) that contain much that likely has already been put out there but also seems to have quite a bit that has not. So of course here at tapefiller.org the whole point isn't to present these (they will go through the usual channels) but instead, anything that wasn't listed on either the spine or in an insert, grouped in digestible bites of songs. So without any further ado, here's the first set. Nirvana - Return Of The Rat (The Wipers) .   The description can tell it to you better than I can... looks like the taper/compiler had a copy of the Eight Songs For Greg Sage and the Wipers comp. Hole - Over The Edge (The Wipers) [cut] It's probably not becoming to give any credence to any conspiracy theories about Kurt's passing but let's just say reading about the possibilities did pass the time for me one warm summer nearly 30 years ago...Amusing to see the guy still at it...though ...

FLLR GB002 - GaoBest tapes - Pulp Roskilde Festival 1998 [FM0]

thehappyone (me) GaoBest supplied me with a black TDK Black Limited SA90 type II cassette, which I used to improve the audio shared with the original RollingRockVideos footage, which you can see here: RollingRockvideos  (not me) Here are scans of the cassette (A Side, after I digitized so not rewound) and J card inserts: And here's a link to the FLAC set  for nerds wanting the original in lossless format.  This was a more recent digitization used for the YouTube share, with slightly tweaked audio, though it's substantially identical, I don't edit out any announcers or anything like that. Other ephemera associated with this gig... One of the Pulp band members (guitarist Mark Webber) was interviewed about their favorite Roskilde memories: Also, one track...quite a rare one live called "I'm The Man" was pro-shot, and can be seen here: Dargun Evans
