The source of this remaster were the same 24 bit transfer master files that were used for GASP 008, carefully restored with CEDAR Cambridge V4 (NR5 noise reduction, phase correction, de-buzz, auto-balance) and Adobe Audition 1.5 (Single click removal tool). Mixed with Magix Sequoia 9.22, mastered with Adobe Audition 1.5 by
using several plug-ins (no Waves).

From the liner notes by David Dunnington:
"On all tours since Foxtrot, large portions of the live set have been well documented by official releases and radio broadcasts. With the single exception of this 1982 "Encore" tour, inexplicably and universally ignored by the record label and by US and European broadcasting companies alike. In the absence of a full professional recording, a good clear engineer's tape from the soundboard is the
best that can be managed: what makes this bootleg from the show in Saratoga Springs, NY so important is its status as the unique soundboard recording (accessible to collectors) from the Encore tour.
A careful fresh transfer of the best known tape of this show was recently completed by TM Productions on behalf of the GASP project. Unfortunately the recording is of indeterminate generation and not in great shape, being saturated with volume distortion in greater or lesser degrees throughout. Some portions, notably the first few songs, suffer to the point of being unsalvageable. Here is presented a one disc compilation of highlights comprising those sections of the show amenable to quality restoration."

Many thanks, I'm just listening... This is actually very nice recording, especially keyboards are very well and clearly heard, all tones etc.

One tip: at least I couldn't burn this 80 minutes 0 second to CD, but then I converted flac to wav, and cutted one second from the end, and after that burning with cue-file worked well!

You have posted some great shows on here and I've downloaded loads of them so thanks. For me, a long time genesis fan to finally have a recording of supper's ready from '82 that doesn't sound like it's being played through a telephone is a very special moment. Thank you very much, you will have find something incredible to top this. MrC

Merci encore,Dave. I am listening now this Saratoga show, and this version of Supper's Ready, with this line up (D. Stuermer at guitar) is still great.
I remember to have seen Genesis in the roman amphitheatre of Fréjus (in the South of France), in 1981 and 1982. I remember the reaction of the crowd hearing the first notes of Supper's Ready. Such a thrill...
Thanks, I see that you post the 1977 Southampton show. I will download it.

Thank you very much, Real 2.0.
This is the greatest band ever!
Few bands have musicians too gifted and talented like this:
Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins (two megastars);
Tony Banks
Mike Rutherford
Steve Hackett
Anthony Phillips
and the 'touring members':
Chester Thompson &
Daryl Stuermer

Sabogão,
