New Discovery!
I thought this was lost forever because my grandmother stole it
after she got angry that I borrowed her antique feather hat for a
cat toy that got totally destroyed. Bad cat!

BobTalk

[audience: “Subterranean Blues!” -Rock-n-roll!-] Turn the light on out
there. You know when John the Baptist saw Jesus coming up the road, he
said, Behold! The Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.-
Did you know that? Thatís right, thatís what he said.
Now donít be affected by, by the, uh, in San Francisco, we opened there,
Iíd say about a month ago, about three or four people walked out because
they, they didnít like the message, you know. But . . . weíre still here
now. Donít you walk out before you hear the message, you know? Anyway,
he said, -The Lamb of God ‘which taketh away the sin of the world.-
I wonder how many of you know what itís like? Itís like the Shah of Iran.
Heís been out of the hospital now. Who knows what heís doing there out of
the hospital. Heís walking around, looking out the window.
Meantime 50 people, 50 or 60 American hostages are being held somewhere
out in the desert. This man plundered the country, murdered a lot of people
and escaped. Now they want him to come back. Now, hereís what Jesus would
have done. Jesus would have gone back. See, thatís what Jesus did.
He went back and took all the hostages back. Now, of course, weíre not
expecting the Shah of Iran to do anything like that. Of course, heís just
human. Thatís right, he is! Anyway, weíre gonna start off this song here.
Itís called -Slow Train Coming.- Itís been coming a long time – yeah it is.

All right. Now donít be dismayed by what you read in the newspapers about
whatís happening to the world. Because, now, the world as we know it now
is being destroyed. Iím sorry to say it, but itís . . . itís the truth.
In the matter of a short time — I donít know, maybe in three years, maybe
five years, could be ten years, I donít know – thereís gonna be a war.
Itís gonna be called the war of Armageddon. Itís gonna happen in the Middle
East. Russiaís gonna come down and attack first and you watch for that sign.
Anyway, weíre not worried about that. We know thereís gonna be a new
kingdom set up in Jerusalem for a thousand years. And thatís where Jesus
will set up his kingdom, as sure as youíre standing there, itís gonna
happen. So this is called, “Hanging On To A Solid Rock Made Before The
Foundation Of The World.”

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.

(Before and after sample in comments)

Queen – Cologne, Germany (02/01/79)

Queen
Cologne, Germany
Sporthalle
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!
