Remaster Notes:-

This is an amazing gig.
Must have been great being there, last night of the tour,
introduced by Debbie Harry, 3 encores.

This recording is really, really good for being 38 years old & audience sourced.
Slight distortion at times, but overall it is fine.

Took a long time to clean up & remaster, tricky in many places,
had to give it loads of TLC and it responded well.
I couldn't live with it edited like it was, so I retracked the whole thing.

The only negatives apart from above is that it is lossy,
it would have been better with a lossless source,
still a very nice listen as is.

There are a few "talkers" at certain points with as always riveting stuff like:
where's my jumper?, I've been stood here for ages etc.
I removed what I could without ruining the flow of the gig.

Terry is on top form with his own way of dealing with things.
The band are as always on top form,
they really were something special live [no pun intended].

So grab a beverage of your choice and be whisked away in my dream time machine.

Enjoy...
