Not sure if this show has been seeded before but there seems to be a decent amount of Steven fans out there so thought I'd seed a known lineage copy, if a master copy has ever been seeded then you might want to check the quality (see below) for comparison sake.

This came to me via a trade in late '83 or early '84 through a friend off the master (I did not get it directly from the taper but a fellow taper/trader got a copy for me off the master).

Apparently Little Steven and the band were in Cannes for the premier of the "Men Without Women" film and played this show while in town.

The Master was recorded very low in volume and there was very little mid range or high end with a lot of low end bass.
I had to do quite a bit of remastering on the tape to cut the bass and pull out the high end, this improved the high end and overall quality dramatically but also increased a very minor bit of underlying hiss (only slightly noticeable during the quite parts which aren't many at a Little Steven show). I took about 5 passes on each song to get to the point I was happy with (I eq very slowly as opposed to one big pass), I don't generally like to do much eq'ing unless absolutely necessary, but I didn't feel it was seedable in it's original form.

The recording has very little crowd noise and sounds to be recorded away from the general audience.

I think it is a very good listen (great version of Princess Of Little Italy).

Hope you enjoy it!
