Update for 27 Sept 2022
Hi
Just a few things to update you on.
The next restored live show will be by Belgian band Front 242, 1 of the first bands to popularise the term Electronic Body Music (or EBM). In fact it will be their first live set performed in the USA, from 1984. I’ve been completing that one this week. Lots of odd tape dropouts where the left or right channel disappeared completely and quite a lot of tape hiss and noise but all that, and improving the sound quality, is now taken care of; final mastering will probably be done on Thursday, so expect another newsletter with the news of that having been uploaded sometime between Friday and Sunday.
Thanks to all who have subscribed to the newsletter recently - the first draw for 3 people winning 3 shows of their choice as separated lossless FLACs or MP3s will take place on 1 October - emails will be chosen at random, and winners notified. Same will happen on 1 November and 1 December.
1 of the show anniversaries came up yesterday. 6 years ago I restored a really fantastic performance by A Flock of Seagulls from their 1982 American tour. If you missed seeing or hearing that one, you can find it HERE.
Quite a few people seem to miss shows altogether, or not realise which artists and gigs have been featured on Live and Loud! since 2012. If you go to the website on a laptop or desktop computer, you should see the web version of the website - on the right hand side, scroll down and you will see an alphabetical list of tags, with the names of all the bands and artists featured. If you’re viewing the site on your PHONE, you will not see this - you need to scroll down to near the bottom of the page and select “View web version” - that will then load up the full website page with that list of artists on it. Hope that helps some.
That’s all for now - I’ll be back in touch just as soon as the Front 242 gig is up and available.
Cheers!
Phil
