Live At Cork Opera House - fixed

Opera House, Cork, Ireland

Complete concert

---------------------------------

This is a speed-fixed version of the Cork early 1979 concert at the Opera House (see original info file bellow)

The original recording being - to my ears and regardless how precious this early recording is - hardly listenable, I thought it would be worth fixing the speed (and slightly the pitch) so that it sound a little better. The speed was obviously too high so I tried to correct that. I thought it made sense to compare its speed with a similar recording from the same era and from a low-generation material, that was the Tullamore february 1980 show which seems to play at a relevant speed

Nothing else was done to this recording, my skills are limited. But it is worth remastering, isn't it ? So if anyone...

FLAC > xAct 1.71 > WAV > Audacity 1.2.6 > speed correction (-3.7%) and pitch correction (-1 semitone) in 32-bit float > tracking > WAV > xAct 1.71 > FLAC

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tracking remained the same

Torrent includes : F.A., MP3 sample (320 kbps), TXT file, FLAC checksum

Quality is fair soundboard but given the age of the recording, this is a precious document of - so far - the earliest recording of a U2 gig. Still, this is U2's very first TV appearance, live on irish channel RTE.
