That's an interesting one. The story I was told (apparently sourced from someone working on the shows) was that they were meant to be "play back + live instruments over the top". The 2nd night (in the rain) ended up all playback given how dangerous it was to switch on electronic gear during heavy rain. No idea how true that is, of course - just another story.Finaero wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 4:56 pm Thanks, man
Kind of sad how after all these years, an audience recording from the second night still hasn't surfaced. IIRC, the only "real" major (musical) difference between the two nights (aside from probably some of the percussions and the JMJ/Hank Marvin chatter - including what JMJ says after RV4 (second night) which I can never remember, and the way I hear it sounds very rude) is that on the second one, the last part of Ethnicolor featured a Dominique Perrier solo based on the Lyon album version (wouldn't necessarily say that it was a new live one, but definitely not the exact same solo - the lead sound is different for example)
Oh yeah, I actually managed to source the "second night" video that I mentioned:Flip Martian wrote: ↑Thu Dec 23, 2021 6:06 pmThat's an interesting one.

II wonder what was causing all the echoing ?Synner wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 9:03 pm Mr Martian (or may I call you Flip?)
You have made my day (if not my Christmas) with this Docklands upload.
It didn't sound that good on the night - I know, as I was one of those voices you can hear cheering - I may also have been the one that made the radio recording we've all been listening to all these years (well, my brother, as I was at the gig, he was at home recording the BBC broadcast)
On your version, you can actually HEAR Equinoxe V - on the night, the echo was so bad the notes blended together (that wasn't just the radio broadcast, by the way, it actually DID sound like that live).
So, some 33 years later, I finally get to HEAR the concert!
And...this is why I do these things. When people take the time to say thanks and why that concert means something to them.Synner wrote: ↑Sat Dec 25, 2021 9:03 pm Mr Martian (or may I call you Flip?)

It was the same. And featured some sound added later, due to tech issues on the night (they recorded the 2nd of the 2 nights for that one).
