There are already two EX sources of this show the Andy Banks master and the MMB master this is a alternative source for thoses who like to collect them all.
I believe about 8 people recorded this show and i know someone even videod it about 5 rows down from me i did manage to contact him a few weeks later
and made a trade for it with the video of the night after in Liverpool i sent the video but never got this in return.
So if you are out there upload the video for us all please.
Recorded on main floor, back row left of stage.
We where on the back row Peter walked out at the start of the show right in front of us as we where holding the recorder. He had seen us recording the Birmingham
show the week before he just looked at us and smiled as though to say oh no not you again.
The quality of the recorded is good to very good.
The one tape flip was before Lay Your Hands.
TRACKS:-
I hope you enjoy this show please ask if you want to upload it to other sites as i will be uploading these shows to a couple of other torrent sites.

Hi to all
Welcome to my series of mostly uncirculated masters & very low generation shows that i recorded or received in trades in my younger days most of my masters
have not been circulated or only traded once or twice i used to trade a lot in the 70s – 80s & i have many many shows well in excess of 7,500 tapes
Of these shows about 120 – 150 are my masters they where always on my trading list but not many got traded so i boxed them all up in the late 80s now i have
decided to go through them & upload some of them.
I recorded many bands from Genesis ñ Bowie ñ Springsteen – Hawkwind – Hackett ñ Gabriel ñ Marillion plus many many others i will try & upload a least
one show a week if not two.
To record theses shows i used a Sony portable hand held tape recorder with built in stereo mics. I always used good quality tapes to record on mainly T.D.K.
I used to insert the tape deck in a empty coffee flask with the inside taken out of the flask to get past the security ah those where the days.
The only thing i ask is please donít sell these recording & donít convert to mp3 etc & if you do ( only for your own use ). Please donít change any of the files or
info files etc this is so that people can tell the difference between this source & other sources as many people like to compare different versions of shows.
Also please do not remaster these shows the reason for this is these days there are far to many remasters of shows. Its ok have one remaster etc, but some are
remastered that many times by different people there can be at least 10 different remasters of a show from the same source & it can get a bit tedious.
On to the show for your enjoyment Davros archives presents :-

Through The Wire
With the release of his ground-breaking third solo album in May 1980, Peter Gabriel firmly began to establish his reputation as a highly innovative solo artist. In February of that year, before the release of the album, he embarked on a British tour, dubbed the ëTour Of China 1984í, showcasing new material and a streamlined, more direct live sound.
At The Apollo in Manchester, Gabriel and his band entered from the rear of the auditorium, arriving on stage to the menacing opening strains of ìIntruderî. Alongside Tony Levin on bass and Larry Fast on keyboards was a surprising new recruit ñ guitarist John Ellis from punk outfit THE VIBRATORS.
It was Ellisí raw, dry guitar, combined with Jerry Marottaís dominant, economical drumming, which gave Gabrielís new live sound much of its harder edge. This recording, from March 5th 1980, includes several rarely performed songs from Peter Gabrielís live repertoire at the time.
ìMilgramís 37î, given a lengthy explanatory introduction by Gabriel, wouldnít appear on an album until 1986ís classic ìSoî, where it was renamed ìWe Do What Weíre Toldî. The minimal ìLead A Normal Lifeî complements ìMother Of Violenceî while ìBully For Youî (co-written with Tom Robinson, who provided the lyrics for Gabrielís music) and the ebullient ìI Go Swimmingî both remain unreleased as studio recordings. ìGames Without Frontiersî provided Gabriel with his second solo hit single (following the early success of ìSolsbury Hillîin 1977) and it was during this song that he chose to leave the stage and venture into the audience to encourage a sing-along of the ìJeux Sans FrontiËresî chorus refrain. He had already introduced this move on his first solo tour in 1977 when he appeared unexpectedly among the crowd to sing ìWaiting For The Big Oneî. In later years, of course, he would famously surf the crowd during ìLay Your Hands On Meî. The anthemic ìBikoî, which had been performed live for the first time to such dramatic effect at the previous yearís Reading Festival, was already proving to be a stirring and effective set closer in 1980 and demonstrated Gabrielís growing interest in Third World politics and human rights issues. This memorable performance in Manchester (complete with duck calls !) was brought to a close by a rousing encore of ìOn The Airî and a solo rendition of ìHere Comes The Floodî. The end. Incidentally, the support act this night was RANDOM HOLD whose guitarist David Rhodes had already worked on the recording of ìPeter Gabriel 3î and would, after this tour, become Gabrielís longest serving guitarist. He and Tony Levin remain integral members of Peter Gabrielís touring band to this day.
THE INTRUDER It is well known by now that the new musical direction begun by ìPeter Gabriel 3î and the accompanying tour were not well received by fans and critics at the time. Yet, looking back on it now, it is evident that this radical change was all for the best as it signalled a transition from ëGabriel ñ the ex-Genesis memberí to ëGabriel ñ the solo artistí.

Notes from the Re-Master This recording comes from the master tape, provided by Peter Nicholls. It is generally a good recording with good detail and music signal up to 12,500 Hz. Our taper provided a few suggestions regarding the remaster project, identifying the high hiss level and locations of imperfection within the recording. Hiss was indeed high and was reduced using multiple techniques. Our taper had a friend along to take pictures of the event. We thank this camera man for his work because we used some of his pictures for this projectís artwork. For the audio, however, the camera man was somewhat of a challenge. Standing right next to our taper ñ and his microphones – many of the camera clicks and camera advances came in loud and clear on the recording. Most of these were manually removed but some could only be reduced in volume because removal would have corrupted the music.
Duck calls and audience noise were both quite loud on the original recording but were reduced in volume in our remastered version here. Given the clarity of the duck calls one must wonder if it is the taper himself with the noise maker in his mouth. There was a clear asymmetry in signal strength between the two channels that needed to be fixed. A high pitched ring was also present in both the live recording and the interview suggesting that the tape machine itself was the probable cause. This was also removed. In a few spots, Peterís dialogue with the audience was enhanced so we can hear it better. Over 60 clicks pops and other brief tape artifacts required manual removal along with a few coughs from the taper or his friend. Finally, the detail and crispness of the show was enhanced to better enjoy the cymbals and other high-pitched components of the performance.
The interview section was generally good in quality but, again, also had the high pitched ring that needed remove. Asymmetry in channel balance needed adjustment and the volume of the interview needed to be matched with the performance. Finally, the bass components of the interview section were quite excessive and were reduced.

original notes:
“For MUPPET06 I did the September 27, 1977 show at the Manchester Apollo. After
the MUPPET06 release kotti passed me on some information, and made me aware that
David Lowe had a tape of the April 29, 1977 gig, which also happened to be at
the Manchester Apollo, and was in fact the very first rock gig at that venue! 🙂
Soon I discovered there was a second version of this recording circulating, from
a 1st gen. tape, transferred by Nigel Butterworth.
After examination I found that the two versions both were from different tapers,
both with a very different sound. The DL source was very distant, but did have
the very low and high frequencies (great bass drum, and those cymbals were
present as well). The NB source was quite compressed with lots of the mid-range,
giving a more raw sound. Both were far from perfect, but the disadvantages of
each could be covered up by each other. Thus came the idea to try a matrix. More
about that in the WHAT WAS DONE? section.
Back to the show:
MUPPET06 came from the second leg of the tour, this show comes from the first
leg. There’s some differences. Mostly in the order of the songs, but there’s
some other changes. Peter covered Marvin Gaye’s I Heard it through the Grapevine
during the second leg, but here he does another song by Gaye: Ain’t That
Peculiar. Also, where the second leg had a more polished version of Indigo, here
we get an early version of the song under the working title A Little Song for
Little People. Also, instead of the encore of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,
this time it’s Back in NYC.
WHAT WAS DONE?
This release is a so-called matrix, which uses two sources simultaneously. One
source had lots of lows and higs, the other mostly mid-range frequencies. They
covered each other perfectly, giving the recording a very rich full-spectrum
sound, and giving me the chance to have a little more control over the sound
than usual: kind of like working with a very simple multi-track 🙂
It also caused me a lot of head-ache and trouble though 😉
Speed correction was obviously the first step, since the two sources had to be
perfectly synchronized. This wasn’t as easy as I thought at first: there seemed
to be some miniscule speed-fluctations which would result in the two sources
going out of sync each minute or so. What I had to do therefore was
synchronizing the two sources every minute. Some of the loud songs were
painfully difficult to do: All Day and All of the Night and Back in NYC turned
out so bad that I decided to use one source only for those.
You’ll find that at a few places the two sources seem to go out of sync: I
regret this, but since the majority turned out very nice I hope it can be
excepted 🙂
The DL source was mono. Since it was very hissy, I killed some of the ultra-high
frequencies that didn’t contain music, but did contain hiss. After that some
further noise reduction was done, albeit slightly and manually altered. One
channel was copied to the other to get two identical channels. After that
equalization was done to get an optimal balanced sound.
The NB source was mono as well. I found the right channel to be the best so
copied that to the left channel, to get two identical channels again.
Equalization was done here as well.
The matrix was ‘mixed’ in the multi-track feature of Cool Edit. 80% of the show
was a mix of the two sources. I balanced the volumes of the two, also did some
very slight panning to left and right to create a little stereo. When there was
two sources at the same time I also used some additional equalization for each
of the sources to accentuate their strengths. Very slight reverb was used as
well, with one of the two getting a little more than the other to create some
artificial stereo-space again.
The two sources each had some little bits missing, where I would use the other
to cover it up. The NB source was missing the first few notes of the Here Comes
the Flood piano intro, the beginning of Humdrum, and some audience noise
inbetween the encore. The DL source was missing the end of Humdrum, the middle
of Slowburn, and also some audience noise inbetween the encore.
As said before, All Day and All of the Night and Back in NYC only use one
source: this was the DL source.
After the 32-bit mixdown of these two sources, multi-band compression was done,
to create some more dynamics, to flatten some of the excessive bass, and fiddle
a bit with the stereo image.
Some final equalization was done and the stereo image was expanded a little
again.
Some slight reverb was added as the finishing touch. Hard limiting was used to
flat some of the extremely high peaks, the recording was then normalized for
optimum dynamic capability on the final CD. Fade-ins and fade-outs were applied,
and the recording was converted back to 16-bit with the use of dithering.
Finally, this was cut in tracks.
A FINAL NOTE OF IMPORTANCE
On some systems this recording sounds as was intended by me, with a great rich
sound, and on some dynamic parts like the intro to On the Air, the loud-quiet
contrast in Waiting for the Big One the raw power should really kick in, when
all instruments join in.
However, you may find that the bass is way too loud on your system. I found this
myself on one system.
What you can do is turn off the ‘loudness’ button if that was on, and probably
the sound is very good then. Else, just lower the bass with the help of your
equalizer.”
enjoy!
