The Clash 1981-09-26 Theatre Mogador Paris, France

CLASH, Paris-France, Theatre Mogador, 26 september 1981, SM aud master


When I found my old cassettes and tried to play them, it was impossible to hear a sound.
Changing shell for the first 90 mns, i had the chance to hear something but had to do several rips to get and choose a correct result (a miracle).
For this upload i used 3 portions : entire side A and 2 halfs for side B; after this i did separates EQ and volume adjustments with Audacity (on side B, the quality of one of the channels was inferior).
Sure this tape sounded better years ago, but i think i can't get a better result now (samples).
The 4 encores were recorded on a second tape also in a very bad condition : after 2 shell changes i only managed to rip the first song (Safe Europena Home), with a few flaws at the end.
Dimer xtopher helped a lot in order to present the complete show, THANKS MUCH : he sent me a good recording from that night (apparently a 2d gen running too slow).
First, i thought it was from my source because the flips were identical, but i finally think it's a different take, a closer recording wit more distinctive vocals. To make it run correctly, i made it 1,06 faster.
Jimmy Jazz sounds exc, seems the quality of the 2 next songs is inferior (because a wilder playing ?).

Anyway, this torrent is from my master (minus 3 last songs), and never circulated under this version here.
Do you own EQ while listening.

I don't see any version of this show running on the tracker at the moment.

Recorded with Sonny TCD5 & a couple of Beyer M201 N mics (probably from the theatre balcony).
Cassettes - Marantz SD 4051, pitch adjusted - Zoom H4 - SD card - PC - Audacity (eq, volume, tracks, Flac export) - md5 with TLH.
