Quality - 7-8/10 very good to very good plus audience recording,
with segments of excellent minus, IMHO as always.

CD 1: 10 tracks, 46:27
CD 2: 9 tracks, 44:04
TT: 90:31 This SHOULD be the ENTIRE concert.

I bought this concert tape at a record show about 18 years ago.
I was assured that this tape contains the whole performance and
that it was low generation. I wanted to upload this one on Dime
because there is a small but loyal Iggy following that snaps these
up as soon as the upload begins. I also wanted again to pay back
all the great people that've increased my music collection to the
point of idiocy. I wasn't at this show so I'll give you a brief
rundown of the recording, good points and bad.

First, the good points:

1) As mentioned above, this recording is probably complete.
This is a long show by Iggy standards.

2) There is no distortion present. There are virtually no speed
problems or any other serious faults to prevent you from enjoying
this show.

3) Amazingly, there is virtually NO audience chatter present on this
tape. The taper was lucky to be surrounded by civilized fans who were
there for the music, not by selfish assholes who wanted to hear
themselves talk. There is a little shouting and screaming ; it IS an
Iggy Pop show after all !

4) This is one of the wildest Iggy shows that I've ever heard. You will
not believe some of the things he says ! The World's Forgotten Boy is
ON FIRE for this one.


Second, the bad (fairly minor) points:

1) There is some hiss, especially on headphones, but it's NOT
overpowering.

2) There are many momentary volume reductions (NOT dropouts) most
likely caused by a loose wire/connection somewhere in the recording
chain (NOT in my equipment). I thought at first that these could be
removed with a splitter but when I saw the waveforms, the reductions
were identically present in both channels. Fixing every one would be
a monumental task and a huge pain in the ass. If you wish, go for it !

3) Iggy's vocals are a bit subdued in the first part of the show. The
show initially sounds a little distant but improves. I'm sure that the
taper was moving around.

4) The SQ is not the best, but it's a fairly good show and one that I
think is rare. I've NEVER seen this one offered for upload here on the
Dime.

So there you have it. This is the raw recording that I've had lo
these many years. I changed NOTHING about this recording except
to track it and to remove a few taper stops that were a bit jarring
to the listening experience. No music is missing. This show fits
on 2 74 min. CDs. CD 1 = Tracks 1 - 10. CD 2 = Tracks 11 - 19. That's
about all I have to say, so let's get this show on the road...

Finally, please don't buy, sell or convert this show to mp3 or
any other lossy format. Please seed this as long as you can.
Please trade this freely as it probably is uncirculated. This show
will be a welcome addition to any Iggy Pop fan's collection. I
think that ALL of you will really like this show and I will post
a sample to help some of you decide whether or not to download this.
If you were at this show, please share your memories. One last thing :
is "The Academy" Howard Stein's Academy Of Music ??? My tape says
"The Academy" so I need your help in more accurately identifying the
venue. TIA ! So, as Mr. Natural keeps on and on and on saying, have fun,
don't freak out and enjoy the concert !
