I recently picked this one up in a trade but it was not listed as 1984-10-23 Nantes, France in the trade
It had been mis-labled 10/28/84 Vorst National, Belgium (SBD) So some of you that have 10/28/84 (SBD) might wanna check to see what you have, Chances are it is this one (Nantes)
When i A>B this against my other Nantes 84 SBD’s i found this one to be of much better quality than others i have this version has better dynamics than others i have in my collection and seems to have a lot less Tape background hiss (Meaning less tape>tape generations) also i noticed that this version to be more on centre and better stereo whereas other versions all seem to favour one channel.
So i thought i would pass on this version
as i do think this to be the best of the 1984-10-23’s

Aah yes, the old days – great 4 day run, back in the days of PEOPLExpress. Flew down to see the Dead in Hampton on 4/13/84 and 4/14/84 for about $40 round trip. Then back to Buffalo for the Folk Fest, then the Dead again in Rochester on 4/16/84. Sacrificed Niagara Falls so I could see all three Philly shows, both Providence shows, and both Nassau shows.
The event was billed as the “13th Annual Buffalo Folk Fest”. I’m not sure if this was a joke or whether this is an annual event in Buffalo. I lived there from 1963 to 1978 and this was the only “Buffalo Folk Fest” I know of.

From the original uploader:
10,000 Maniacs’ “The Wishing Chair” L.P. will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year (original release date – September 23, 1985). Since it seems apparent that the Maniacs are not being given the remaster / bonus tracks / box set treatment that they so richly deserve, I’ve decided to upload all of my 70+ live and rare 10,000 Maniacs recordings during the coming weeks. Although many of these recordings will be re-seeds of previous Dime torrents, a substantial number have never appeared on the Dime (and many others haven’t been shared since the Dime’s previous incarnation as “easytree.org” circa 2005).
This is an excellent soundboard recording from the pre-“Wishing Chair” era, featuring multiple songs that were short-lived in the band’s live set and that ultimately remain unreleased.
Disc 1, track #6, and Disc 2, track #15, are referred to as “Toy Helmet” and “Primitive Mentality” respectively. Both are early versions of future b-side / bonus track “The Colonial Wing”. I can’t say exactly why they are labeled under different titles, but both “Toy Helmet” and “Primitive Mentality” are referenced often enough in other Maniacs setlists that I’m inclined to believe that both titles were used by the band at one point or another.
Disc 2, song #7, is a song commonly referred to as “John Sings Ska”, but I have no idea of whether that’s an unofficial fan-created title or not. The same song also appears on the Buffalo 1984 recording (to be uploaded separately), using that same title.

I looked on a site to see if this gig was available as a bootleg. There is a copy going a round, but it doesn’t list track 16, the second encore, which takes this gig just over 60 mins and may account for why it’s possibly been left off other tape trades?
I’d waited a long time to see the band in the UK. Having heard them on John Peel, I was lucky enough to get a US import copy of the I Ching album from the Rough Trade shop soon after it came out. RC and I were seeing Dead Can Dance a lot round about this time and we both went along to Dingwalls. I didn’t take my recorder. I can’t remember why not, although I was familiar with Dingwalls and it may have been something to do with being
worried about the bouncers or just noisy audiences.
My over-riding memory of this gig was Natalie wildly swinging and dancing around the cast iron columns on stage that held the roof up, with her long hair flowing. The stage was crammed – they were a big band and it was a small venue. Very noisy and sweaty. Anyway, after the gig I told RC that I wished I’d taped it. He said he wasn’t that impressed and a couple of weeks later sent me his master, keeping a copy for himself. If you know RC,
this will sound really odd as he became a big Maniacs and Natalie Merchant fan. I guess he just didn’t feel it straight away. I’ve got plenty of ticket stubs from Dingwalls, but nothing to tell me which one relates to this gig, so no images I’m sorry to say.
I went to the Marquee the next night and taped it – although it was a disaster. I arrived late, left early and in between picked up loads of chatter on the mike.
Enjoy – and thanks to RC for the master.

Taken from QUeenpedia.com:
Also from 1967, and of far more interest, is 1984’s professionally recorded Thames Television demo tape.
During his first-year of study at Twickenham Technical College, Dave Dilloway had made friends with a number of technicians, or trainee technicians, at the Teddington-based ITV Company, which served the London area.
The station had recently invested in new recording equipment, and rather than hire professional musicians at the usual union rate, in a set up similar to the first Queen sessions at the De Lane Lea studios, 1984 were let loose in the studio to record at their leisure.
Dave Dilloway’s carefully preserved tape still plays perfectly, and includes the following songs: “Hold On I’m Coming”, “Knock On Wood”, “NSU”, “How Can It Be”, two early run-throughs of the original May/Staffell composition “Step On Me” (which eventually became the B-side to Smile’s “Earth”), “Purple Haze”, “Our Love Is Drifting'”, and medleys of “Remember”/”Sweet Wine” and “Get Out My Life Woman”/”Satisfaction”.
The session ended with a run-through of “My Girl”.
“What an extraordinary amalgam!” declares Tim Staffell today.
“There’s Tamla, Cream, Hendrix, Lee DorseyÖ ‘Our Love Is Driftin’ ‘, we’d have heard by Paul Butterfield.
I’d forgotten there was such a large soul component in 1984!”
Dave Dilloway has the technical details: “This tape is the most recent, best and most representative of 1984 that I’m aware of.
It is mono, but since it was made on good quality TV studio equipment and was carried out along the lines of a proper studio recording, with separately mixed microphones for each source, it is remarkably good quality for its age.
The material, except for ‘Step On Me’, is all cover versions, but as it dates from the late 1984 era, Brian’s playing is more prominent and effective, with his own style starting to show through.
All the performances are competent – particularly Tim’s vocals and Brian’s guitar; although the mix is a little heavy on John’s rhythm guitar for some reason, probably the ‘ear’ of the recording engineer at the time.
All tracks were laid down in one take, i.e., no overdubbing at all, so the sound is predominantly simple, as per our live versions.”
