Hi folks

This is a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time.
The thing that made me do this is the fact that no complete soundboard recording has ever surfaced from a DG 1984 show. Only a few incomplete SBD's is available. And I thought that it was really a shame because I personally LOVE these concerts.
So I got the idea of mixing the 2 soundboard sources together into one full length show. But the problem was that 4 songs from the tour don't exist in SBD quality (of what I know), Mihalis, Cruise, Let's Get Metaphysical and Near the End. And it wouldn't really be a complete show without those.
So I almost gave up the project after searching for hours after them, until I found a near perfect sounding audience source that I had never listened to. I was really surprised because all the bootlegs I've listened to from that era has been (to my ears) of low quality. But this one almost blew my mind :D

So now I have mixed all 3 sources together to one almost perfect sounding David Gilmour 1984 concert. :)

The setlist order may not be completely how it should be, but I tried to make it as enjoyable as I could, and I had to make it fit with the song presentations.
Changes in the sources may be listenable during song changes, but I have tried to adjust the volume and done a little EQ'ing to make it as unnoticeable as possible. I hope I have succeeded.
Other than the volume changes and slight EQ, and some other small edits I have not touched or altered the files in any way.

I have made artwork for this one. I hope you like it.

And I hope you will enjoy this release as much as I do.

If you find some flaws in the concert that I have overseen, please let me know, and I will try to correct them.

I have used GoldWave v5.10 to mix together the songs.

The set list and track duration is as follows:

1st set:

1. Until We sleep (6:23)
2. All Lovers Are Deranged (5:13)
3. Love on the Air (6:04)
4. Mihalis (9:09)
5. Cruise (7:04)
6. Short and Sweet (7:49)
7. There's No Way Out of Here (5:43)
8. Money (12:54)
9. Out of the Blue (3:42)

2nd set:

1. Let's Get Metaphysical (7:55)
2. You Know I'm Right (8:00)
3. Run Like Hell (7:18)
4. Blue Light (10:19)
5. Band Introductions (2:37)
6. Murder (8:04)
7. Near the End (10:57)
8. Comfortably Numb (10:04)

Sources used:

Disc 1 Tracks 1,2,3,7 - 1984-04-30 - David Gilmour in Concert (Rev. A)

Disc 1 Tracks 6,8,9 + Disc 2 Tracks 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 - 1984-07-12 - In Floyd We Trust

Disc 1 Tracks 4,5 + Disc 2 Tracks 1, 7 - 1984-05-23 - Beacon Theater, NYC (Master)

According to the track durations this should easily fit two 74 minute CD roms.

Well, again, I really hope you enjoy this. I think it has turned out to be a great release, one that I have been longing for a loooong time.
I have really enjoyed making this.

Please tell me how you like it.

Cheers
