Sting Blossom Music Amphitheater Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio September 10, 1985 Lineage: Soundboard => Analog cassette master => DAT(n) => CDR => EAC => Audigy Audio Cleaning Lab => Export to WAV => FLAC Don't know much about this one; got it in trade about five years ago. There is noticeable hiss because it was recorded on an analog tape off the board (in 1985, there really wasn't any way around that!), but other than that it sounds quite good. I haven't really seen this on many lists; however, I'm not much of a Sting fan so for all I know this may be fairly common in Sting/Police circles. I thought it would be worth torrenting for many people. Track Listing: Disc 1: (1) Shadows In The Rain (start cut) (4:58) (2) Driven To Tears (8:34) (3) Consider Me Gone (5:13) (4) The Children's Crusade (6:16) (5) One World (Not Three) (5:05) => (6) Love Is The Seventh Wave (6:15) (7) We Work The Black Seam (7:22) (8) Bring On The Night => When The World Is Running Down (8:06) (9) Another Day (5:24) (10) Moon Over Bourbon Street (5:32) Total time: 62:48 Disc 2: (1) Fortress Around Your Heart (4:54) (2) Low Life (4:05) (3) I Burn For You (14:05) (4) If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (4:52) (5) Roxanne (3:47) (6) Been Down So Long (8:48) (7) Every Breath You Take (5:04) (8) Need Your Love So Bad (8:13) (9) Dream of the Blue Turtles => Demolition Man (5:25) Total time: 59:15 No artwork; sorry. I would be thrilled if someone created some and posted it in this thread. Total size (FLAC compressed): 719 MB Total size (uncompressed): 1.2 Gb No warts that I know of on this one, other than the first track being cut at the start. If there are any diginoise problems that I didn't catch, please let me know and I will re-torrent individual tracks if I need to. Enjoy! -- Sting - vocals, guitar Darryl Johnson - bass Omar Hakim - drums Kenny Kirkland - keys Branford Marsalis - sax/percussion Janice Pendarvis - vocals Dolette McDonald - vocals Comments by ademotte (edited): * Yes, d2 t4 is cut on my tape. Sorry about that -- I didn't notice it. I assume that this was a tape-flip problem with the master. * The glitching in d1t5 is present on my DAT source -- I played it back on two different decks and heard it in the same place both times (there is supposedly a way to determine whether there is an error on your DAT or if diginoise was passed on from earlier sources; I haven't figured out how to do that). I can't fix this; however, it's fairly faint -- kind of like a vague FM static. I didn't even hear it when I played it back originally. * The dropout during "Bring On The Night" is also on my source. To my ears, it sounds like a dropout on the analog master rather than on a DAT transfer; it almost sounds like the cassette got paused briefly in the recorder. (Or, more likely, the owner of the master "marked" the copy he was distributing so that if it got bootlegged later, he could identify the offender.) Sorry I can't improve on this. It is what it is. smashmark says: Ive actually had this show for a while, and the story I was told when i received it was this: There was a certain doctor that was the "onsite" doctor for the venue that particular summer that sat in a room backstage during shows. The venue provided him with a television set so that he could watch the video feed of the show while he was there. Apparently, someone, possibly him, tapped into the sound of that feed and recorded it and thats where this came from. There are other shows circulating in the same quality/source from that summer and venue such as Dire Straits, and a few others that i cant remember. I think that why it has more of an fm quality to it, rather than a soundboard quality. Anyway, thats what I was told, it may or may not be accurate! so for what its worth, that is what I was told the source was.
