1 August 1996 - Musikhalle, Hamburg
German FM radio broadcast
OU: This is a great show which has appeared several times in various formats (audience and FM). I initially wanted to tone down the DJ comments, which were a bit loud but otherwise not too intrusive, and realigned the two CDs, so that the announcements come at the end of each disc. Since then, however, I have discovered the joys of audiofile.exe, and put anything too long for a single CD onto single DVD-Audio. So I removed the DJ comments entirely. Then I found that the last track broadcast, "Crystal Ship", was in fact played after "About a Boy". So I edited it back into its original place. Fortunately, the applause is suspiciously similar after each song (i.e. mixed in by the radio station people), so it was all fairly straightforward. Except "Dancing barefoot", which had a drop in volume at around 0:20 for 30 seconds - a piece may have been edited in, as the EQ changes to a drop in bass and a loss of echo. I raised the volume and applied some EQ to match the rest of the track. After a few tries over the years, I've managed to get it to a reasonably smooth flow.
Other edits -
- A small gap between "Gloria" and "Farewell Reel" has been removed.
- "Beneath the Southern Cross" had a pop at 0:21 which has been removed. A couple of others in other tracks have also been removed ("Wing" at 0:55, "About a Boy" at 1:20, among others).
- The band intro has been combined with "Because the Night".
- The "People have the Power" / "Gone Again" medley has been split into two tracks.
- Before "Because the Night", the brief "Please be my Guy" (?) is sung off-key at the end as a joke. It has been made into a separate track.
- The "When Doves Cry" / "Ain’t it Strange" medley has not been split, as it goes back to the lyrics of the first song towards the end. This song starts abruptly, with some hesitation between the channels, which I corrected using a repeat of the same drum beat.
As the show heats up, the volume increases, but a bit of distortion creeps in, either at source or from the taper, and there is tape hiss throughout. Having said that, it's a tremendous build up to the last tracks (though the encores are quieter).

Original notes - Ok , tis is it , my first upload here. I picked out this performance from Patti Smith from 1996. This is my own recording I and I think the sound quality is very good. I picked this one for the fantastic performance from Patti Smith and Band Outstanding for me is the performance of "When Doves Cry ". I could not create checksums , although I tried very hard. Artwork included.
If you want to split it into two discs, 1-11 and 12-20 would be the way to go. As it stands, it's ready to go onto one DVD-Audio seamlessly, but there's a CD version of Track 11 with a fade-out at the end.
