I remember the concert at Sheffield City Hall, 13-Mar-1979 very well. It will have been the fourth time I had seen Bill Live. The bonus was the gig being broadcast as part of BBC Radio One's 'Week Out in Yorkshire' the following weekend. There I was poised with a cassette loaded and finger ready to press the record button on my Pioneer tape deck. The only problem was that I loaded a C60 and had to turn the tape. The Fingerprintz set was intact, but Red Noise had a gap. Thankfully the gig was repeated during the week so I recorded it again on a C120 and all was well. I recently converted the tape to MP3 to enable it to be played on my streaming system. Some time soon I'll attempt a conversion to WAV then FLAC if that is possible to enable playback in a better format.

The ticket for Tuesday 13th March; was that at Sheffield City Hall?

Tourist I agree with your choice of The Comsat Angels. The first 3 albums are near perfect. If I extend my list to include 99.9% items they are in it. I still wonder why albums 4 and 5, Land and 7 Day Weekend have not been remastered and re-packaged.

Fantastic track. The whole album is flawless and in an elite club of 15 albums that I adore that have no faults. The others: The Cars - The Cars | Candy O - The Cars | Beckett - Beckett | Atomos - A Winged Victory For the Sullen | Futurama Be Bop Deluxe | Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam - Bill Nelson | Warrior on the Edge of Time - Hawkwind | The Colour of Spring - Talk Talk | Crocodiles - Echo and the Bunnymen | Travelogue - The Human League | Penthouse and Pavement - Heaven 17 | Double Negative - Low | Quark, Strangeness and Charm - Hawkwind | The Love That Whirls - Bill Nelson. All bliss! There are a multitude of others with one so-so track; too many to name!

I agree. The New 2022 Stereo Mix is awesome! I'm listening through my headphones and hearing noises new to me. The highlights: For Young Moderns, Furniture Music, Out of Touch and Acquitted By Mirrors. Bad news from elsewhere though. I don't like the 2 new tracks. In my mind I can see why they were never issued before now. Sorry Bill.

Thanks Rezillo for your reply. It is Track 12, that has caused me bother. My first rip found track 12, struggled but eventually ripped it with comment. But when the same rip got to Track 18 it attempted to do 20,000 + re-rips so I abandoned the process On all subsequent rips Track 12 has continued to report errors but Track 18 has been fine. I am in the process of listening to the music so I will see what the playback is like.

Question. Has anyone had any issue with disc 3 of the 6 CD Set? I think my copy could be faulty. It has taken 4 attempts to get a partially successful rip. I'll know tomorrow when I play the music if it is okay despite the problem

Postman Pat and His Black & White Cat, (Called Jess), Delivered My Box Set This Morning. I'm Ripping the CDs Now and Hope to Get the DVDs Converted to FLAC Tomorrow. The Only Problem is That I Cannot Listen to the Music Until Monday!

Why not try creating a modern version of the old 'mixtape' you might have played in your car in the 80s! I combine tracks of many different genres often randomly on to a playlist on my computer and stream the music around the flat. If it works; i.e. sounds good and blends together, I will copy it to an SD card and play it in the car. There is usually something by Bill, but he might be next to A Winged Victory For the Sullen, Stars of the Lid, Mogwai, Tim Hecker, Low or Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood. They often work and sound great!

Actually it's SurrealEstate; no gap! Is that a way round the problem?

Just Realized 'Orphan' that there were two dates at the Warehouse. I feel sure that we attended on a Wednesday, so that would be 27-May-1981. What a year 1981 was! The best in my life for a multitude of reasons, including 'Quit Dreaming and Get on the Beam'. The first 'New Bill' in ages!

Thanks 'Orphan' for informing of the date this tour was at the Leeds Warehouse. I was only thinking the other week that I need to research and discover this date as I also attended with my friend Ashley. I don't suppose you can remember some of the songs played can you? Do you remember from the gig the rumor that members of The Psychedelic Furs were in the audience?

As the question was 'rank Be Bop Deluxe' Futurama Drastic Plastic Axe Victim Live! In the Air Age Modern Music Sunburst Finish

I also remember him supporting Be Bop. If he was, as Tourist says support on the Drastic Plastic tour, I must have seen him at The Leeds Grand Theatre. I can't remember what sort of reception he got in that day, but I enjoyed his performance and bought the LP, (on which Bill plays) sometime after.

3pm? Then in the break?

Just to be absolutely certain; as a ticket holder I do not need to do anything at this juncture to get the streaming of the event the following day. I would hate to miss my ugly face on my desktop!

Ordered!

Sorry Jon. I haven't been on the site since posting the item. I will get the photos scanned and sent to you. It may be a few days before I get this done as the health of a family member is taking priority at the moment.

Only just seen the notification. Downloaded, tagged and ready for play. Can't play now but will do tomorrow. I'll tell you then... Let's hope it's agood one!

See you in the Fenton. The Lady and I will be in there before, interval and after; (if we stay over and don't rush for the train).
