- Original version info.
To my knowledge, this show hasn't been made available by torrent yet. I seed it here with courtesy of Oliv2211, who traded it with me a year ago. The original recorder seems to be unknown. Sound ranges to fairly bad to disastrous, pitch is half a tone too high, but it's good show, quite intense.

- Restored version info.
The 'Eight Appearances' tour being my favorite tour from the Cure, I decided to restore the first show of the tour after having restored the last one (see torrent#269035 on Dime). This proved a difficult task! The Figurehead is so bad it's beyond recovery. The other tracks were not in a good state either. Very high background noise, variable L/R phase imbalances, variable L/R level imbalances, and most annoyingly, quite a lot of wow and flutter, against which it's very hard to do anything.

In any case, after a lot of work, I managed to get a version I could enjoy listening to. Keep in mind that given even more time, a better restoration is naturally possible, and that a few aesthetic options during the restoration are questionable, such as low-frequency dynamic compression for instance. However, the goal here is not to get a definitive version, which would be possible but would take one month to get! but something you can enjoy listening to.

As usual, restoration techniques include spectral matching, L/R delta I corrections, L/R delta T corrections, denoting, master EQing, and this time, given the original recording's bad state, selective frequency compression. Everything was made inside Pro Tools, using the following plug-ins: Elemental Audio Firium, Digidesign EQIII, Waves L2, Waves XNoise, Waves ZNoise, SPL Vitalizer, Digidesign PitchShift. A screen capture for the restoration session can be seen at http://private.1-1-1-1.net/boot/1981-25-11/capture.png. For those interested in restoring, see http://1-1-1-1.net/pages/boot/boot.html for a bit more info.

The Cure
2000-02-03
Brussels, Belgium

A personal favorite of mine. While decent live Cure is actually pretty easy to find, this is one of those shows that just seems to really capture them just right. They're in good form, good venue, great setlist, and I'm a sucker for anything from Disintegration.

There was a slight bit of noise in the source, which I subdued. It was also low in the imprint and the eq was good but lacking in width and depth. Bigger, brighter, maximized...cured.

Bonus track was removed, it wasn't from this show and ruined the mood, it was just inane CD time filler.

Enjoy!

NOTES:  In the late '90s a buddy and I set up some trades with one G.P./Guiseppe Panzicca/Blaine in Italy.  It became clear that this guy was not always honest with his gens and anything marked as coming from him should be taken with a grain of salt and *stay* as a "GP trade tape" so as to distinguish it from other versions.  That being said, there ended up being a lot of junk but also few gems from the shows we got from him. A version of this show was torrented back in 2006 so not sure if this one if different or not but as noted, this was traded by GP as an AUD0.  The show is listed on http://www.cure-concerts.de/concerts/1983-07-27.php
