comments:
  A close to complete (but not quite) recording of a nice Weather Report show.
I remastered my copy of this so the levels and editing should be all right. I
wasn't able to patch the tape flip cuts, but they aren't too bad and this should be
a gapless recording (my copy had a couple before). I think they played 2 nights
in London on this tour. This is almost one full night's show. The sound is pretty
good in most of it, only a few minor problems, didn't find any digiglitches, only
a few mike knocks which I reduced to very low volume. No EQ or noise reduction has
been done to this that I know of, if someone is good with EQ they could probably
improve this a little but I thought it sounds good enough to post as is, which I
prefer when it's a decent source recording so this is probably a "raw transfer".
the taper was in a pretty good seat location so all the instruments come through.
I think this comes from a 2nd generation tape source, and the last song cutout
sounds like it's near the end of the concert, but I don't know how much is missing
from this. Probably not much, BWW is a common WR show finale of this time.
do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
Rest in peace, Joe Zawinul.
