Ah, the final show of the UK tour, Ten shows, fourteen nights and a little over 2,000 miles of driving. And what a fabulous show to end a leg of a tour: a near-enough full "Blows" Suite, a sublime Codeine, another exploration of Wooden Ships sailing into unknown seas, the beauty of Sketches, the majesty of Hyperdrive, and all closed out with as fine a Saucers as you'll hear - Paul's passionate vocals and a great instrumental middle section. Another packed night at the Borderline, and a show for the ages.
There is, alas, a significant recording problem. All tour my soundboard recording was coming out of the band's recorder, an Olympus LS11. Unbeknownst to me, the Olympus has a feature which means that it will not record a single track longer than two hours, so once it gets to the two hour mark, it stops recording. And stops passing the signal to my Edirol. I was unaware of this, and was blithely enjoying the show when I looked across to check that my levels were still OK (it was loud :-) and was shocked to see nothing registering. Unknowing of the Olympus feature I assumed it had just died for some reason and stuck the soundboard feed direct into my Edirol and adjusted the levels. So we're missing about 3 minutes 19 seconds towards the end of the show - about the last minute of White Rabbit and the first two and a quarter of Volunteers. Luckily, the audience deck was still running, so we're only missing the soundboard recording for that section, so that 199 seconds is solely from the audience recording. I've tried to match the overall volume so it's not too jarring. Obviously you can hear the transitions (I could have tried to play with the EQ of the audience only bit in an attempt to make it blend better, but since it didn't sound too hideous, I decided to leave it au naturel.)
Anyway, I hope it doesn't disrupt your listening pleasure too much.
