what are the best "About Face" shows in terms of SQ ? (SBD, etc...)

[Rupert Pupkin]

Hi folks,

What's the best "About Face" show (even incomplete) with a soundboard or best SQ ?
I know that there is the "About Face" HRV but somehow I was never really at ease with the SQ.
Is there the Hammersmith Odeon audio remastered ? Perhaps MOB did remaster it for the HRV DVD ?

I really enjoy the guitar solo on "You Know I'm Right" or "Near The End"

is there a tape pre-FM transfer around or was the broadcast only archived on vinyl ?

I grabbed these one at the Trader's Den :

1984-07-12
Westwood One In Concert
2LP Vinyl 24-96 Pre-FM

David Gilmour
Stabler Arena
Bethlehem, PA
July 12, 1984
Westwood One In Concert
WXRT FM Chicago Broadcast
R.J.P. 10.5 inch Reel To Reel Master

I remember a great Chicago show shared here but there was a kind of chili con carne inflatulence tape problem during Comfortably Numb solo (which is a bit annoying); or was it another show ??

I also have of course the great Wojtek release In Floyd We Trust.

Universal Amphitheater June 21st 1984 is really good quality and a crackin' good, complete show.

thanks.
I'm tyring to download this needledrop transfer by A.Layne, there are no seeders here ? Or should I use Vuze instead of Transmission ?

can someone please upload the tracked version of Arnold Layne's transfer of Pre-FM 1984-07-12 - Westwood One In Concert - 2LP Vinyl 24-96 Pre-FM ?
(see link above : there is a torrent attached, but I think it does not work anymore because it's from Y!)

Seeding it now.

FYI, the HRV release was also sourced from the Westwood 1 LPs.

The Chicago UIC show is a pretty damn good recording as well.

Seeding it now.

just saw your post - just opened Transmission right now (on Mac); thanks a lot!

Has some severe tape dropouts during the whole Comfortably Numb solo which is really annoying to say the least.

Is there a release of the Bethlehem show which does not suffer from this problem ?

Ron, I don't remember which HRV ? the Kabuki Theatre; I'm not at ease with the sound of this one (and I love the show, the artwork and the bonus), was hoping that like the Pros & Cons "liberated" SBD thanks to Lordsnooty we would have had a SBD pristine quality of this show.
There's the 8mm video for which the audio has been remastered by MOB certainly.
And what about the Hammersmith Odeon audio (not authorized there?)

so far, Arnold Layne's pre-FM transfer vinyl is my favorite. The solo of "You Know I'm Right" is jaw dropping.
Is it me or was "Money" censored even if this is a pre-FM transfer, David omitted the "bullshit" word (whereas he sings it loudly in P.U.L.S.E); what happened? radio censorship before broadcast ?
It's even not the "F." word; imagine if they would have played "Not Now John" ;-)

HRV did not release this show but I did share (and eventually sell) my WW1 LPs that were used as a source for someone else's release.
My favorite KAOS show would be KAOS Creek.
