If MK, JI or the record-company have some thrilling live-recordings in the vault, possibly from the BIA-Aera, it will be cool to have a very good sounding concert-recording from the official side. Split 1985 or Christchurch 1986 in best sound quality will be cool, but that is my personal idea for that.
As we know, through our fellow fan-mate Jeroen, a lot of concerts had been recorded in various sound-qualities over the last 40 + years, but how many concerts had been recorded by the record company in those days, except Alchemy-gig or the On the Night-recordings. What do you think ? Are there any and many live-recordings in the vaults of the record-company or in the vaults of MK or JI.?? Can we hope for more complete live-material from various concerts around the globe ?
One thing is the concerts recorded for broadcasting purposes, those are owned by the companies (radio or tv) that used them
Another thing is the concerts they recorded by themselves, and that's very little until more or less 2005, and if my memory serves, are these ones:
- Paris and London 1983 dates in order to release a live album (Alchemy)
- Paris, Rotterdam and Nimes 1992 dates in order to release a live album (On the night)
- Madrid, Bilbao, Newcastle and Glasgow 2001, in order to release a live dvd (only Madrid recorded in video) using parts of audio of the other concerts if patches were needed
- London, Shepherd Bush Empire 2002, in order to use audio parts and video parts for promotion of the RPD record
I'm sure they have more things recorded by themselves, as demos, rehearsals etc for internal use, for example, Phil Palmer said in his book that all the DS members got tapes of the production rehersals in order to listen to them while touring and refresh the setlists...
