Comments
The cover of this disk is a small pic of Bob onstage. This is apparently taped from the radio. The quality is fair, it has little audience noise. No highs or lows, sounds like its a few generations away from the original. It sounds to me as though the recording is a bit slow at first, but seems to pick up. The last 4 tracks are probably not from the same show, track 17 is "Happy Birthday Simon" and 18-20 are not repeats. Two good versions of "A Forest" on this disk.
Aagh. OK. All 20 tracks ARE from the same gig, the extra tracks are simply encores of songs they already played in the set. The concert isn't from Brussels, it's from Herford, Germany on 31st May 1980 (not 30th May 1980 as several existing tapes say). Yep, it's slow the whole way through, but otherwise the sound is quite good. I would recommend it only as a CD to buy and run through a tape machine to speed up to the proper speed. PS any questions on any Cure boots - mail me!
