Allan Holdsworth IOU Band live at Cell Block 2, Hartford, Connecticut, 1982

Allan Holdsworth IOU Band live at Cell Block 2, Hartford, Connecticut, 1982

Allan Holdsworth: guitar
Gary Husband: drums
Paul Carmichael: bass
Paul Williams: vocals

Source/Sound quality: SBd/A.

Runtime: 70 minutes

I was sent this show many decades ago.

I have de-noised show as it had bad static hiss. I have EQ'd it with more tonal and dynamic range. It sounds 100% better than the original files. I also removed some crowd noise between songs like some dude screaming, "Go Allan!" and "Wooooo! Yeahhh" as such antics added nothing positive to experiencing the music. So, I assure you that this version is the best you can ever obtain -- unless you are an audio engineer yourself.



OTHER INFO:

This show was part of my huge collection of Allan Holdsworth playing live. When I got into remastering it, I realized that a track repeated (another set thrown in?) and the show seemed to end after track 6. Then the last three tracks ended the recording(s) sent to me.

But during the remastering, I noticed that original static hiss and sound character was the same in all tracks so likely it all was recorded on same soundboard set up, ergo at same venue and same night. It's just a slight mystery to me. Some info I did dig up said that some recordings floating around out there included "Song For My Father" with Gary on the keyboards and Paul singing. It did not feature Allan or Chad. Still, this is a great slice of history and sounds amazing to my picky ears.


Tracklist:

01. Where Is One?
02. The Things You See (When You Haven’t Got Your Gun)
03. Letters Of Marque
04. White Line
05. Water On The Brain
06. Out From Under

Show seems to end here with Paul saying goodnight and such but more music continues.

07. Guitar Solo intro to Was There?  (Maybe this track was at Cell Block 2 Hartford Connecticut in 1982 - another live version? another set? -- not sure)
08. Was There?  (Maybe this track was at Cell Block 2 Hartford Connecticut in 1982 - another live version? another set? -- not sure)
9. Where Is One? (Maybe this repeated track was at Cell Block 2 Hartford Connecticut in 1982 - another live version? another set? -- not sure)

When you purchase a live, remastered show here on CD-R -- you are NOT buying the music itself or the performance. You are actually paying for my professional remastering services of aforesaid show(s). You are also paying for my graphic arts design time and associated materials supplied. This live music is relatively easy to procure free on the internet by savvy searches. But what you get via such means only gives a subpar and disappointing listen. When you compare my charges for remastering and graphic art design services to the going rate -- my prices are ridiculously inexpensive.
