Remaster Notes:-

I originally remastered this around 18 months ago.
The source was mp3 kindly sent to me by Scott.
Found this lossless version here:
https://www.guitars101.com/forums/f145/siouxsie-banshees-1985-11-28-london-uk-aud-flac-681903.html
Thought it would be good to remaster this source.
It was over bright & harsh sounding (especially the vocals which at times distorted),
so I have pulled back the top end.
There was little bass to speak of so I have raised what was there,
it is still lacking bass, but better than it was.
Finally I did a re-track.
Turned out well I think.
Tape flip after track 10, track 11 cuts right in, maybe a little lost but not much.
Not to many talkers/shouters active on this.
Some will prefer the original, but for me this is a less wearing listen (especially at volume),
you could grab both and decide for your self.....
Many thanks to Chatts99 & T.U.B.E. for sharing.
Chatts notes are below & then Scotts.

Enjoy...

Original Notes:-

My Lineage:

Low Gen Tape > Deck > Zoom H2N > CD WAVE > TLH > DIME

I've had this in a box of tapes for over 30 years.
This is just a stunning recording.
I knew it was probably 1 gen from master as I know who I got this from, Alex or Big Al,
for those that were around the London bootleg scene.
I have to assume he was recording this from a box as so little crowd noise, its so low gen as no hiss.
I would say if anyone has a copy of this, this could be a massive upgrade.
This can be played 'kin loud.
Maybe a decent remaster with all the new tools available could make this sound even better, I hope so.
Share freely and use wisely.
Cheers

Scott Notes:-

It's the last night of their tour of 1985 at the royal albert hall on the 28th November.
Towards the end of the set at the hammersmith odeon on the 24th November, during Christine, siouxsie leapt and landed badly.
She ended up lying on the stage in agony with a dislocated knee.
The next few nights of the tour went ahead with Sioux in a full leg plaster.
She had to be helped on stage by 2 of the road crew where she sat on a stool for the whole gig.
This RAH show was the last of the tour and they played everything.
At one point Sioux got off her stool to dance but had to be forcefully put back on the stool.
The following day the plaster was removed
and presented to the winner of a BBC radio competition for writing the best poem regarding the incident.
I was actually at that gig.
I'd seen them in Edinburgh and Glasgow earlier in the tour
and was blown away with the new stuff that I had to see them once more on that tour.
