XRT is playing/streaming the show from The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago from 1979 tomorrow March 30th at 9 PM Central Time (USA) I believe it's going to be streamed. Hopefully somebody can rip it!

I'm curious if this is any kind of audio upgrade from the boot.

I connected my aux cable from my stereo to audacity. Wasn't sure about levels or stuff like that. Compared it to the YouTube videos and some stuff sounds better and some sounds the same. Unfortunately doesn't seem like it was recorded all that great back in 79. But I have a google drive link available. It's all one track tho, I haven't split tracks up.

I did message you back. Did you get chance to download my remaster of this show.

This one has had many bootleg versions over the years. House of the Blues being a very common one. It's an FM recording I will be stunned if this re-broadcast is of better quality than previously aired. There is some distortion due to Mick having a faulty lead.

Good question as all the boots seem to be from from the FM broadcast. Does an audience tape exist?

The same as what we already have nothing new.
