Lou Reed
Live At The Palladium, New York

Previously uncirculated show

CONTRAST CLAUSE :

this is a processed version of the concert I have seeded as a raw transfer here -
Torrent #387490 Lou Reed - 1976-11-13, The Palladium, New York - Uncirculated

Minor hiss reduction was carried out, and the sound was widened - the sample of She My Best Friend
shows this.

Good quality

17 How Do You Think it Feels

This is an uncirculated show that has been sent to me I am presenting this both as a 'raw'
transfer and as a 'widened' version so downloaders can choose which suits them. I cannot
make the time to always present this way but as this was uncirculated and I wanted to hear
a version that suited my own listening more, I worked on both in tandem in this case.

How Do You Think It Feels has a lot of tape 'wobble' which could be the battery running low towards the end of the recording? Particularly as it suddenly cuts out...Whichever you choose, enjoy.

When I carry out processing in Audacity to widen the sound, this usually consists of the following -

-9db decrease (as the mixing and combining needs space)
double up the tracks, add .01 sec delay to one of the channels, split channels and mix either side (balance achieved through trial and error)
Combine above doubled up track with untouched track with the latter at a higher level. The above mixing while giving a nice widening effect I am more than aware can sometimes sound artificial to some, and I have found combining it with the untouched file means a balance is achieved between the raw sound of the original and the mixed version. Studios used - and I'm sure still do - used to resort to all sorts of double tracking and compression effects and the bottom line is this method I found by trial and error sounds good to me and others. Those who do not approve or find it does not sound good to them - no-one is forcing you to download this.
Voila...I listen to live recordings in headphones for the most part, and many people listen in headphones / earphones these days.
This may sound better to many like that, and I am aware that through conventional speakers this sort of mix / re-work may or may not sound as good as an untouched version. It's very subjective, and very much down to individual preference.



WANTED

Lou Reed Paris 14 April 77 from a tape source...

I've heard a horribly 'streamed' sounding version of this...the tape underneath sounds like it's a great stereo recording, but there's ugly diginoise all over it.
A tape sourced version of this would be wonderful.


Lou Reed - Berlin 31 March 1977

Nico apparently joined in at this one!


** CAN ANYONE HELP ON THIS? **

DAVID BOWIE recording

THE EVENT OF DAVID BOWIE

3LP of Bad Segeburg 18 June 1983.

I am well aware that there was a CD version, and torrents of that and a tape version of the LP version have been shared...can someone share a direct transfer from the LP, please?

**I've been asking about the above recording for six months or more now, some Bowie fan out there must be able to help?**

Thanks for any help on any on these!

If torrenting isn't your thing, there are other options...uploading through other forms, CDR by mail etc, let's get more circulating here!
