Glasgow Apollo Oct 8 1982
Would anybody be willing to upload this show somewhere. I already have it, but it is crap quality. Its one of my favourite gigs of that time. Cheers!!!!
the recording itself is crappy? or the disc quality? cause if its the recording you might be shit outta luck
I got the show from the 9th of October 1982. But as imma rocker said, itīs crap quality http://www.sendspace.com/file/z7pc52
As promised paulr, and as i said play bout with the EQ and it aint any worse than the old cassettes that used to do the rounds in the 80s, just remember people its a 26 yr old recording,it aint soundboard,it is what it is,if you like it,fine, if not delete the thing Disc 1 - 10-08-82.exe (43 MB), You can use the following link to retrieve your file: http://www.sendspace.com/file/l5lut2 Disc 2 - 10-08-82.exe (37 MB), .

same for 09 OCT 82, play with the EQ people you get a reasonable 26 yr old cassette boot, it was the 80's fer christ sake, gigs were taped on walkmans and gawd knows what else,obviously you had to be there to see the gorillas who were on security, if those guys saw you tapingor taking pics, you were getting a beating,equipment stolen off you and thrown out of the gig! ah those were the days, Gladly 1/2 the psychos who used to do gig security in the UK are now safely banged up in jail or dead in gangfights, so people, the moral of the story is....be greatful that some brave soul,managed to get past the patdown at the door b4 the gig and got these tapes out to the fans, i know i am, my gear was stolen a few times but i got a few out, can the majority of people say the same??? enjoy the boots people, build your own library, if you dont like a boot, delete it, for my money the only crap gig AC/DC ever done is the one they never done. Rant Over Dave
Dave, Per usual, you are 100% correct. Very funny post AND very true. Scotty from Detroit
Just as Dave said, those guys at the door at the Apollo were knuckle dragging fuckwits wi bolts in their necks. Frightening!!!! Such a shame the place closed. I wasnt at the two gigs mentioned, but i heard at FTATR, the ceiling in the place started coming down thanks to the canons. Cannae beat bringin the hoose doon eh??? Thanks for the links Dave. Anything i can do fur ye, gies a wee line !!!!
That definitely is what we'd call, "Blowing you away." Imagine how much better recordings of the 60s/70s/80s/90s would've sounded had we had DAT/MD back then. I'm sure that DAT/MD were available in 90s, but the prices were so high. Now perhaps the best thing to use, real-to-real taping machines with each instrument going to a different tape and a stereo crowd mic. But that's borderline professional.
I dont know if the apollo staff did this, but i do know the Edinburgh Playhouse used to film every gig there. They also allowed a local newspaper to take pics and you could go to their office and buy them, until they got sued for it. Bit of a bummer there!!!!
Thanks again to Dave for the apollo boot. I did as he said and messed about with the EQ, and its not bad at all. Anybody else who is going to download it, do the same and the sound turns out ok. Cheers Big Man!!!!
Hey Dave, ive got 2 questons for ya, 1. what shows did you record? 2. since you have experience, how do some audience recorded shows come out in great quality (ie. oct 16 82 hammersmith odeon) and others can sound so bad (ie oct. 9 82 apollo)? cheers bud
I have an excellent copy of this gig (8TH OCT), cloned from the master - and it is a huge upgrade in sound quality. I have no idea how to post it on rapidshare or suchlike, but would be very, very willing to post it to a binary newsgroup and let someone else rapidshare it for me, or failing that someone can grab it from me via soulseek. PM me for more info or to arrange. I don't delve into this forum very ofen. I bought it from the guy who alledgedly taped it. That could be BS of course but it really does sound good....
