OU Notes -This was a very demanding and difficult personal project. It was truly a labor of love.
After paying a ridiculous amount for this 3-LP vinyl set, I bought an adapter specifically to transfer this to digital. The recording, transferring and editting took over 8 hours. It's not perfect, but it's damn good. There's still the occasional pop/click here and there, but the sound quality is a solid A+. Performance wise, this concert captures Air Supply at their commercial prime.
So many hits and outstanding album tracks that really rock (seriously) Songs like "One Step Closer", "Late Again" and "This Heart Belongs To Me" shows these guys could pull off more than just sweeping ballads. But the ballads are here in force and they are fantastic. They introduce their new single as "Even The Nights Are Better" which blows the studio version away with a fantastic groove. The band shows on this track and all others that they can really play. But the true highlight of the show is Russell Hitchcock's voice. Listen as he holds the closing note in "All Out Of Love" for 16 seconds, just like the studio recording. Every note and phrase is pitch perfect. Main songwriter and co-lead singer Graham Russell sounds great as well, complimenting Hitchcock superbly. This really is a gem of a recording and an outstanding performance.
