Notes


Elvis Costello & The Attractions
December 3, 1977
Riviera Theatre
Chicago, Illinois, U.S.

I torrented this in 2007 and 2008. Here it is again for anyone who missed it.

source: WXRT FM broadcast
lineage: FM broadcast > unknown > flac
sound: excellent

Thanks to John E for providing the flacs. I retracked most tracks using Audacity, and separated the intro and the encore break into their own tracks.
Editing lineage: FLAC > Audacity (retracking) > TLH > FLAC 6 (align SB) > Foobar2000 (tagging).

01. [0:31] intro
02. [1:13] Welcome To The Working Week
03. [2:30] (The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes
04. [4:02] Waiting For The End Of The World
05. [2:08] No Action
06. [3:37] The Beat
07. [3:07] Less Than Zero
08. [2:45] Radio, Radio
09. [2:42] You Belong To Me
10. [4:33] Lipstick Vogue
11. [5:15] Watching The Detectives
12. [2:40] Pump It Up
13. [3:39] Miracle Man
14. [0:45] encore break
15. [2:17] Mystery Dance

Duration : 41:50

Notes:
- intro by WXRT's Bob Skafish
- varying amounts of hiss throughout, most noticeable during a quite part in "Watching The Detectives."
- a few very minor clicks exist in a few tracks.
- another version circulates, which I think comes from a rebroadcast. That version has less hiss but somewhat lower levels, does not have the Bob Skafish intro, and has a skip in "Miracle Man."

Torrent history:
- first torrented in December 2007
