comments: A decent hockey arena audience recording from the Relayer tour. This was a fine show, especially the Relayer songs and the full Ritual. Sweet Dreams was nice to hear too, I didn't think it was the best version of it, but there aren't many of that with Moraz.
Probably recorded on a Sony 152 (mikes unknown), I'd guess 2nd gen. cassette source for this, it's better than a "wish you were there" production, but not a "you are there" production. A fair amount of crowd in here, but it's not overwhelming. the audience was considerately enthusiastic, not alot of screamer types, recorded rather far from the stage, and this seems to be a full show. They didn't play "sweet dreams" alot with Moraz, but this is not the London 75 concert, which has an officially released version of that track. this all comes from one audience source of one concert and there is some talk in French in part of this show (many Canadians speak it as their main language, including in Montreal), both from the band and the crowd, which there isn't in London show. (that was a BBC FM broadcast) This is also a distinctly different performance than London concert which anyone who has heard both (as I have) would quickly notice.
I was hoping to post the London 75 show until I found out there's a released track in it (at least Sweet Dreams, there may be others too), so I decided to pass that one by completely until I could find out more definitively if any more of that show is available officially. I could not find any indication that any of this show is officially available in any form. This may very well not be the best source recording of this concert out there (it's a big world), but it's a nice concert I haven't seen posted yet so here it is.
Do not sell this recording (that will make yes say no). Share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.
