20 Sweet Sounds of Heaven
21 (I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction

Had tickets for the 2020 gig, and then… you know…
Wasn’t going to bother attending this one for a variety of reasons. Death of Charlie Watts, tickets were even more expensive than the original booking, and general dislike (to put it lightly) of stadium shows, just to name a few.

Neil Young was due in town a couple weeks after this, but unfortunately cancelled. Had tickets to both shows booked at Deer Lake Park. The money was refunded right away (much unlike Stones 2020) and all of a sudden the Stones were in town. The day of the show I found a secondary market ticket for well below face value and ended up paying about the same price as one of those Neil Young tickets.

Met up with some pals before hand for a few pints. We entered the venue during the opening act, Ghost Hounds. As soon as I got to my seat, I remembered why I never go to these kind of shows. Brutal. Ghost Hounds didn’t do it for me, generic boring American rock music. I wonder how much their buy-on was for this tour… Anyway, I used their last few songs as a record-level check to make sure I was all set for the main attraction (included here as a bonus).

The setlist was fairly ideal for a first and likely only time seeing the Stones. The overall experience left something to be desired. I never felt like I was really there but rather experiencing the show second or third hand, as if I was watching TV from across the street through binoculars or something. I’ve felt more like I was at a show while peering over a festival fence from a distance.

After being treated and sanitized, the recording sounds 150x better than it did at the show. Plus you don’t have to sit on a harsh plastic chair and smell my neighbour’s cheap hotel fatty acid soap aroma. Sit back in your favourite seat or listen to it on the go.

1gen Analog ReMaster to digital
Originally recorded by Fred W. from right up front and center
Tape to tape copy and mastering by Audioarchivist U – 101

Lineage:
Queen>PA & stage monitor sound>air and audience>Fred’s mics and rig (unsure – Marantz?)>Maxell UD90 tapes>vintage Akai replay deck (azimuth adjusted, no Dolby)>Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (minor low and high boost)>Denon DRM500 recording deck (Dolby on for recording) to make my tape copy>Maxell XL II 90>played back on same Denon DRM500 (azimuth re-adjusted, no Dolby)>Sentrek 12 band analog EQ (more lows and highs, shaping upper bass/lower mids)>SoundBlaster live! 5.1 card (grounded and tweaked)>Wavelab 4.0(track markers only, no digital processing at all)

Notes:
When I originally copied this from Fred’s collection for myself on cassette, I was amazed how clear this recording was and how close Fred sounded to the stage. I almost always performed EQ surgery on any copies I made to try and smooth everything out, and this was no exception. This tape, like many recordings Fred did thru the years, was pretty close to perfect already and didn’t need much work to make it sound like you were actually there, however, the lowest tones of bass and kick drum were a little thin, and upper bass/lower vocal range was a little jumpy. Well that’s all fixed now. There is some noise associated with the original tapes (normal bias “low noise” tapes!) but that should not discourage you at all. My copy sounded more pleasing than the originals did, and even more refined when played into the computer for you now. I have chosen to not process the noise out, and leave a little bit of the shit and corruption in. I think the background noise gives this tape life and breath, and removing it would kill the atmosphere it brings. You will get used to it after 5 minutes, and it’s not noticeable at all over the music.

I have tracked this for CD in the way it was on the master tapes, leaving all sides uncut. Side A is disc 1 (38:39), while sides B and C fit on disc 2 (77:27). I have included scans of my color photocopies of Fred’s original master tape covers for you, and a copy of the cover of the 1978 tour book. I have no real artworx for this NEW MASTERPIECE, so if you make some, please post them at TTD in the thread for this bootleg, and also please email me jpegs of your results.

Feel free to make audio CDR’s of this for your friends and family, but if any of them might trade further, please provide them with a copy of the FLAC files. Don’t rip from the audio CDR copies you make, EVER! There is no need to pee in the trading pool. Backup your FLAC files, you’ll need them later! If you can avoid it, don’t EnCrap to MP3 files, either. MP3 sounds like crud anyway, and this dynamic recording will suffer greatly in lossy formats. If I find out you spread around an MP3 version of this, I’ll come to your house and do bad things to you and yours… like farting in your fridge! So, just don’t make into lossy files, please! That goes for you, too AAC and OGG!
