Metamatic Forums John Foxx John Foxx In The Glow (The 1983 Tour - Definitive Edition)

Shadowman,

There are already bootlegs of this that have been around for years.
You didnt convince me.

Somebody convince me!

You are right , and for bootlegs they have a good quality. But this official release will have a much better sound quality , without hiss, audience talking , etc... I guess it will be in the same quality as the 9 live tracks John released for a couple of years of that tour - and this should be a good motivation...

The artwork on myspace.com/foxxmetamatic is different to the artwork at townsend...?

Intriguing

Yeah, but... the general public doesn't have these bootlegs! They are traded around between the fans - this release will reach the general music-buying crowd.

Don't wait to be convinced, just don't buy it!
Simple.

I think you convinced me Birdsong. I am going to buy it.
What the heck! :rolleyes:

I'm up for this. Pity no recordings from the Hitchin Regal gig. that would have made my day!

Curious as to why Walk Away recorded at the Dominion features twice. I don't recall it being played twice!

I noticed a very different sound quality between gigs when listening to the tracks on the Omnidelic Exotour CD. One of the locations sounding a bit muffled and bassy. Wonder if that will be the case. Either way, something I do want to buy.

At the gigs, I was front centre at the Lyceum. Arrived early to get the best slot and ended up scrapping with some 13 year old girls who got there first, and were in no mood to be moved. I should have been patient, as they were only there to see the support band (who were like a cross between Duran Duran and Teardrop Explodes, and actually weren't that bad (except for the fans)). Sweet memories.

I remember it well!

Support was "The Room" I think??
Certainly Eddie & Sunshine at one of the shows. They were fab.

An amazing memory you have!
Eddie and Sunshine must have been at the Dominion show. No support at Hitchin.
I smuggled my camera into Hitchin and took some shots, most were blurred, but sad thing is that I can't locate them anywhere now.

How very Quiet Man!

The archive / live section on this site gives Eddie & Sunshine and The Room as support at Dominium, Silent Running & Perfect Crime at the Lyceum and indeed no support at Hitchin..

There would have been no support at Hitchin because this show was considered a 'warm up' and was only added to the dates at the 'last minute'.
