At the 10th show of the Winter ’79 tour Roger greets the audience with ‘It’s been along time’ to which Pete responds ‘Not fucking long enough!’ Despite that, Pete comes out swinging! This might be the best show of tour. Pete starts out the show in punk rock mode, wearing a leopard print t-shirt, which along with his Dr. Martins (from Robot on Chelsea Road, for the fashionable among you…)seems to put him in a more youthful/rebellious frame of mind. This is reflected in his playing, as he is at the top of his game for the entire show. After the first couple of songs, he traded the t-shirt for black jacket with no shirt.
This is the first of two nonconsecutive shows at the Capitol Centre. In response to the deaths at the show in Cincinnati, then-Providence Mayor Vincent ‘”Buddy” Cianci, who oversaw the Providence Civic Center auditorium, canceled the show that was to be held there on December 17th. The Who’s management looked at their options and decided to add a second show at the Capital Centre to make up for the canceled show.
Just as a side note, The Capital Centre, along with The Philadelphia Spectrum, the Chicago International Amphitheater, the Richfield Coliseum, and the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, have all been torn down as well as the next two dates on this tour, The Veteran’s Memorial New Haven Coliseum and The Boston Garden, and the Pontiac Silverdome, while still there, is no longer in use…time marches on.
The encore here features some of my favorite improvised lyrics of the tour. ‘I listen to all the great thinkers, but I prefer to listen to the great drinkers. I was born in a trunk in Acton, and I like Eric Clapton…just got to be happy and dance it away!’. The version of ‘How Can You Do It Alone’ that follows is a very uptempo ‘punk’ take on it, including a ‘one-two-three-four’ count in.
The tape for this one came out particularly good as we were in the 8th row on the floor in front of Pete, which, were about the same seats we had three years earlier for the Who’s performance here. (Still on the tracker at:http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=261431)

contrast clause
Same as: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=329982
but processed with Soundforge + Waves (BIAS) “Z-noise” noise reduction plug-in to remove excessive tape hiss
Listening to the first track, I noticed the long hissy (silent) leader before the first song faded in and figured that this baseline noise would be easy to remove with a good noise reduction plugin as there was so much isolated tape hiss to sample. The effect is subtle but definitely an improvement. I didn’t get too crazy as I really hate squelched higher frequencies due to over-aggressive noise reduction.

February 1, 1979
This is the complete Cologne 79 show, something which collectors have been after for ages. It has always come out in bits and pieces, but always the same few songs were missing. Here it is, complete, and probably in the best quality we’ll ever get for it.
There are two audience sources. One has popped up on various LP and CD bootlegs over the years, and there is an uncut tape from this source (we’ll call this uncut one “source A”). The uncut tape is actually a bit worse quality than the best LP source. So, I have taken about 2/3 of the show from that LP source, and It’s Late, BoRhap, TYMD, SHA, WWRY, WATC, and GSTQ from the uncut tape. A second audience source (of inferior quality, which we’ll call “source B”) was used to fill in source A’s missing parts during Dreamers Ball and WATC.
Overall, the quality is close to excellent, but it fluctuates now and then, as indicated above. The edits are as smooth as possible. Also, I listened to the show carefully, and removed all of the vinyl ticks, and any other flaws in the sound. And of course they all play at the same tape speed/pitch.
Here’s the setlist. All are from the best possible LP source unless otherwise indicated:
Disc 1:
We Will Rock You (fast)
Let Me Entertain You
Somebody To Love
If You Can’t Beat Them
Death On Two Legs
Killer Queen
Bicycle Race
I’m In Love With My Car
Get Down, Make Love
You’re My Best Friend
Now I’m Here
Don’t Stop Me Now
Spread Your Wings
Dreamers Ball (part from source B)
Disc 2:
Love Of My Life
’39
It’s Late
Brighton Rock
Keep Yourself Alive
Bohemian Rhapsody (source A)
Tie Your Mother Down (source A)
Sheer Heart Attack (source A)
We Will Rock You (source A)
Are The Champions (source A completed with source B)
God Save The Queen
Distribute these files only if they are left completely unaltered. As always with my shares, if I see a complete Cologne 79 made available here or elsewhere in mp3 or any other lossy format, I will never share another thing here again.
Enjoy!

compilation of three night (Feb 27, 28 and March 1st)
quality: EX SBD
Lineage: low gen VHS (Using Sam sung SV-C633) > WAV (Using Sound Forge Ver 7.0) > Track divide up (Using Sound Forge Ver 7.0) > Burn CDR (Using Jet Audio) > CD Rip (Using Jet Audio) > WAV (Lossless Check) > FLAC
some site said this one contains only March 1st.
but it’s definitely guess wrong.
I compared audience recording of the Feb 28 and March 1st with this.
at least, without doubt, this is 3 nights compilation.
but track order is just the same that March 1st show (though Typical medley, Love Of My Life, ’39, It’s Late, Brighton Rock, Keep Yourself Alive and usual 2nd encore is cut)

Arcorman, 14 June 2012:
Many, many thanks to the dutch long time TH + TTC fan Hans Devente, (Madtaper) for this recording !!!!!!!!!!
He´s a good friend with the bands over 30 years……..
I got in contact with Hans some months ago.
I was very proud to get his TH tape collection in wave format, after he posted some mp3 stuff on a blog.
Anyway. I gave him some money for his work to transfer all the tapes.
He has a fantastic collection all over he years and most of them never saw the light before !!!!!
Some more stuff will come, and this one is the 3rd.
