Dr. Notes:

They’re all my own masters from the same WMD6C set up.

The bands played in following order:

The Fall

New Order

Smiths

Because it was a sort of festival set, probably limited soundchecks, 

so the sound at the start of each set is a bit all over the place, but tends to settle down, as the sound engineers figured it out.

Also more recollections have wormed their way out of the deepest recesses of my brain regarding the bottling off of the unknown final act (who were trying to perform Maggie’s Farm). 

People were throwing stuff at the stage, 

and after a while one of the performers on stage made the mistake of starting to throw stuff back at the audience.. big mistake!! 

This prompted an even greater barrage of glasses / bottles etc to be launched from audience which did indeed see them off!! 

Hence the several f’ offs audible at the end of the recording!!

Remaster Notes:

Massive thanks to Dave for sending/sharing his tapes with us.

He also came up with the title for this offering.

Needed only minimal restoration & then some remastering.

This suffers at times from whooshing effects.

Not that bad over all, shouldn't distract to much from your listening.

The last track "The Unknown Act" I have left on the end,

you can decide if you want it or not.

My basic artwork effort included.

Enjoy...

"Try To Enjoy Yourself, Life Is Very Long!", was Dream Remastered January 2022.

Do NOT sell this recording.

Freely given to you, so don't charge others.

Support the artist anyway you can.
