ROB SEZ: By request, here's my all-time favorite boot by the mighty Rain Parade. UPDATE: Colin has upgraded and remastered this for his Dream Remaster blog. Surf over there and check it out... Want more Rain Parade? Look for some older posts here and also at Big Plans for Everybody blog, where Rushbo has posted many great recordings.

Taper Maurizio (‘Ratpie’) comments:
A picture disc was bootlegged from this very recording (actually a copy of my tape), but the mastering work was awful and the sound quality is a lot worse than the original - also, it has 11 tracks; here we have 17. This is the whole thing, from the venue manager's introduction straight to the encores. Hope you enjoy. All the best from Italy.

Rob-in-Brevard “tweak” in Audacity: it was a coupla years ago, so I cannot recall exactly what I did, but I’m guessing I applied some modest hiss reduction and a slight bit of compression

Thank-you!
ReplyDeleteRain Parade = Excellent!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this Rob, much appreciated.
Great post. This got me thinking about another Paisley Underground band, True West. Don't see many live recordings of theirs or the late '80s and '90s releases.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mr. Crass. I have a bootleg or two by True West, but haven't given the band much thought in a long time. I might dust them off at some point & post here, but I'm afraid it won't be real soon.
ReplyDeleteI was there! thanks so much for posting mate.I saw Green on Red-Rain Parade-Long Ryders here in Turin same venue between october and november 1985..Amazing times!
ReplyDeleteI am jealous, Cristiano! 8-)
