Remaster Notes:-
Firstly many thanks to the taper for a superb recording & the original seeder,
without them both this wouldn't be here.
Secondly much appreciation to Knees for all his work with this show,
he has done a top job.
In his notes he says to add the bass & turn it up.
I have done that and added a little more work on the mids & highs.
Sounds amazing, it is very close to a soundboard recording in quality.
For an audience recording this is as good as it gets.
Great early show from the band,
including a song in the second set that never got to be recorded.
Just some of "Romance" missing, otherwise good to go.
This is a must for anyone who likes the band, it does not disappoint.
You cannot go wrong with this, a no brainer.
As always enjoy.
Do NOT sell this recording.
Freely given to you, so don't charge others.
Do NOT sell it on Ebay or Ioffer or any other place.
Buy the records/CD's/Go to shows if there are any.
Support the artist anyway you can.
Failure to comply will result in the karma police visiting.
Want to share this?
That is fine all that I ask is keep these notes with your shares, thank you.
Original Notes:-
Total Time ::: 1:11:25
~*~ Carefully remastered fixing various issues, without EQ ~*~
::: EXCELLENT quality stereo AUD, crisp & right up front.
::: Warts ::: VERY few.
Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few.
#1 starts ~5 seconds late. #13 has cut/splice in middle (tapeflip?). #16 had 1/2 second glitch about 30 secs in (now spliced).
::: Smokin' show! Add some bass & turn this sucker UP! One o' the finest quality early REM shows around.
::: Only been in somewhat limited circulation & this'll upgrade what is around.
::: NOT the same as the Charlotte 1982-01-23 Viceroy Park show.

::: MANY thanks to the original taper & trader!
Also, thanks to DIMER gv0000 - the info man. ::: Corrections welcome :::
I've had this & the 1982 Viceroy show from the taper for some decades, but at his request I never traded them,
since there was quite reasonable concern about bootlegs appearing back in the day.
With his good wishes, they are now being passed out into the world.
I'd already bailed on the Queen City by the time this great sh*t went down.
The taper must have had the sweet spot for this one.
Much less AUD motion interference than his '82 recording - stellar sound.
A rippin' good listen - have fun!
Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace.
Yrs truly, Knees
