Dire Straits 1979-06-05 Paris Palais des Sports Paris, France

 Dire Straits Paris Palais des Sports, 1979 june 5th, first post from SM aud master

I'm doing this torrent after a long time finkployd49 request (he tries to get the sound of ALL the shows he saw: good luck Phil !
By the way, do you remember who openned ?).

This mono recording was made with my little Sony TC 150 recorder and probably a cheap Philips mic from the venue's high seats.
So, the result is not outstanding (samples provided as usually, have a listen), but i don't know if there is a better tape around.

The pitch has been adjusted until i heard Lady writer sounding in C#m as played on the Communique album; i also checked Sultans: it sounds Dm, so i think the speed is correct.

Cassette played on a Marantz SD 4051 deck, to Zoom H4, SD card to PC, Audacity editions (tracks only, no EQ), FLAC (TLH).
