Torrent #202773 WISHBONE ASH - January 08, 1987 - Maxim, Stuttgart, Germany
SAME VENUE, SAME TAPER, BUT EXACTLY
ONE
YEAR
EARLIER,
AND WITH A DIFFERENT, SHORT LIVED BAND LINE-UP...
*************************************************************************************
Again it's for my friends fubb, weizman, Soreballs, Budapest, andygs, dbtr and 38f...
and all the uploaders and supporters of Wishbone Ash - too many to name them all.
This recording here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archive.
"MWM" started in the 70ies in South Germany with analog recording equipment,
and at least two of them are still recording sometimes (since the 90ies on DAT,
and, lazy as we are, since lately with small, handheld WAV-recorders on SD-cards).
The "MWM" startet as a project of friends sharing their hobbies together. But by
reason of jobs, partners and other interests the circle of all involved shrinked.
About this concert (a bit different to our 1987 description...):
Recently my old trading pal from the early 1980ies offered
this incredible show from Stuttgart here on DIME:
Torrent #201153
Uli Jon Roth & Electric Sun
- Stuttgart (GER), Maxim, 1985-04-03 aud from cassette master (samples included)
And suddenly all those memories about the 80ies
and this fine venue "Maxim" came back.
Checking our collection for trades we found out that we got a fine Wishbone Ash,
1984-12-17, from weizman back in the days (and i'm hoping he will up this one soon!).
Sadly we lost contact with him somewhere in summer or fall of 1985,
so we had to record this concert in 1986 on our own...
not knowing that weizman was there too...still taping - did you ever ask your
male trade-partners for a photo - being a heterosexual male yourself ??
Some 20 years later i'm really interested now how weizman's masters
sound, compared to our recordings. Here is the second attempt ;-)
A COMPLETE show from the first tour after Laurie Wisefield
had left the band, with James Crompton replacing him, and
also the last tour with Mervyn Spence on bass.
So this unique lineup here lasted just for one month,
for those gigs more than 22 years ago, in January 1986...
And for all those interested
in the ticket prices back then:
Advance booking price was 17,-- Deutsche Mark
PLUS 10 % pre-sale fee, in total 18,70 DM;
box office price was 20,-- Deutsche Mark...
20,-- Deutsche Mark have been:
140,71 ATS (Österreichischer Schilling)
412,51 BEF/LUF (Belgischer Franc/Luxemburgischer Franc)
67,08 FRF (Französischer Franc)
3484,45 GRD (Griechische Drachme)
22,54 NLG (Holländischer Gulden)
19.800,00 ITL (Italienische Lire)
2050,10 PTE (Portugiesischer Escudo)
1701,44 ESP (Spanische Pesete)
20,-- Deutsche Mark are today:
10,23 € (Euro)
16,82 AUD (Australischer Dollar)
8,10 GBP (Britisches Pfund)
1714,42 JPY (Japanischer Yen)
21,25 NZD (Neuseländischer Dollar)
34,59 PLZ (Polnischer Zloty)
378,34 RUB (Russischer Rubel)
16,45 CHF (Schweizer Franken)
16,16 USD (US Dollar)
Again our tape came out better than we thought, compared to the live sound
inside the hall during the show. But good recording equipment in the 80ies
and a careful transfer from analog Compact Cassette (Nakamichi Tape Deck with
playback head azimuth adjustment) to digital DAT-tapes (Tascam DA 20 markII)
at the end of the 90ies helped to record AND conserve this show under nearly
optimal conditions...
You will hear some more crowd noise than on our
1987 recording from the same venue. It was taped
from another sweet spot, in the middle between the
two speaker stacks, and about 10-15 feet from the stage.
PLEASE ENJOY THIS ONE TOO...
