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

Image
  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 soundch...

FLLR GB003 - Pulp 1993-03-05 South Parade Pier, Portsmouth [ANA1] +

Image
(YT link) Recording done by Yannick P. using Aiwa CM-30s plugged into a Sony TCD-D3 DAT.  This is a first generation cassette copy made on high quality Maxell XLII tape. The extant version on YouTube (from  @dirtypearl ) is an Nth gen copy taken from the same source recording, most likely. This also includes the soundcheck, which wasn't included on the above. In addition we get filler from the best bands possible, starting with St. Etienne.  This is a brief snippet of "Nothing Can Stop Us Now", which you can find in full here . This then followed by three tracks from Cocteau Twins December 1995 Black Session....actually it's followed by the Pulp soundcheck, but I've grouped that above...and then succeeded by the Cocteaus, followed by Echo and the Bunnymen doing "With A Hip". There's a couple of versions of this set online.  This is the best SQ. Holly Hotfoot CratesClouds All of these can be heard / downloaded here. FLLR GB003 (lossless FLAC)

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

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...
