THE SHOW:
"As the much loved Duke tour moved from the UK and progressed through North America and
Canada, Genesis continued to grow in popularity. Indeed armed with their latest hit
"Misunderstanding" rising to 14 in the US charts the band were poised on the brink of
global superstardom. Outside Europe, there were three main strongholds where a manic
reception was guaranteed: Philadelphia, Toronto and Montreal. Presented here is an
essential document from the closing stages of the Duke tour, a performance recorded on 19th
June 1980 at the Montreal Forum.
Phil's voice is somewhat hoarse giving the show a rather intimate, urgent quality which
seems well suited to the excitement of the occasion. The crowd are low in the mix yet
still manage to make their presence known during Mr Collins’ amusing and oolourful
interpretation of the French language, especially when forced at one point to plead
"do you speak English?".
Overall the performance is excellent aside from the odd slip (eg Tony struggling during
One For The Vine) and it is refreshing to hear the variations from the UK shows: the
abrupt transition between Moonlit Knight and Squonk; Phil proudly belting out Misunderstanding.
Based on the purest raw soundboard source, courtesy of the GASP project, this remaster
benefits from the full TM Productions treatment.
It features reverb authentically modelled on a carefully chosen section of this same show,
breathing life into the dryness of the original soundboard recording. The first few
seconds of the concert, missed by the sound engineer, are also reconstructed from
alternative sections of the raw source.
A Duke show of the highest rank."
David Dunnington
THE REMASTER:
Montréal 1980, one of the farm boards that appeared out of the blue a few years ago, is
technically spoken of a very good quality. Thanks to GASP, it came out newly approved on
the torrent scene and it was obvious that I took the opportunity.
These were the restoration/remastering stages in short:
EQing (DITM and TLL from Archive #2 were used again as references), de-noising, de-buzzing,
phase correction, auto-balance (all CEDAR Cambridge v4 plugins), enhancing (Ozone 3:
Retro-Exciter and slight use of multiband-compression to even out the levels in the bass
range), adding reverb (during one of Phil's introductions he ended a sentence with a loud
"t", then there was 1.5 sec silence where the impulse response of the Forum was audible.
I used this sample for the S.I.R. convolution reverb), editing, crossfades and mixdown
(Magix Sequoia), hard limiting, fades and conversion to 16 bit (Adobe Audition).
