Here we have a really great early Pre-FM from The Fixx, an 80's band with NO equal in style and character.
The vinyl was cleaned and dusted manually by myself beforehand to minimize processing. I also didn't do any fade in/fade outs at either begining or end of sides....reason being, alot of people like the adverts for historical purposes....those who don't know how to use Adobe Audition or what not to remedy that for themselves...as the show is now it will fit on 1 CD-r. Aside from the processing I did above I touched NOTHING else. I wanted it to be as natural as the vinyl and possibly the original broadcast.
This is a very tight, high-energy show prominently featuring songs from the "Shuttered Room" album with some "Reach The Beach" thrown in as it was an upcoming album. VERY notable and favorite tunes for me are "Kingdom Christsake" which is a non-album track, "Cameras In Paris", "Lost Planes", & "Sinking Island". I love the entire set for sure as I am a Fix-fan (Fixxture) for sure.

This is incredible.....I wish I still had my copy of the Fixx at Summerfest that year...they were so unknown, but a great band. Those two vids were on MTV constantly.....thanks for the rip

I grew up in Milwaukee. Summerfest was an INCREDIBLE place to see shows. As a teenager in the 70s I saw MANY!

OK,

First off, thanks for sharing this freely and in the quality you received it in. It is appreciated by me to see my rips making the rounds. All I ask is that you kindly give credit to the uploader. I purchased this vinyl and spent the time to transfer it so that folks could enjoy a great show....not so others would get credit for someone else's work.

Thanks again, I am glad to see people are enjoying this.

Please add my TTD Nick for credit purposes. It would really be appreciated since the vinyl purchase and processing were done by me.

Thank you very much...it is appreciated.

WOW!!!! What a terrific sounding recording and I am glad that you kept it in its original state. So far I have come across only one other Fixx concert and the sound quality from it was a 3 compared to this being a 10. I got to see The Fixx live in Kansas City if My memory serves Me right in 1989. Know of any recordings from them besides the Toronto show... Thanks!
