The Sight and Sound series was great back when the BBC made decent shows. Well done for uploading this and the best quality I've seen of this concert. Rory was always better as a 3 piece though imo.
I've already got the stereo radio broadcast on BBC FM Radio in good quality. They couldn't record a picture like this and stereo sound all on to one tape at the time. So the stereo sound had to be recorded on audio tape only. The BBC still have all episodes and all stereo tapes for the episodes, but they can't be bothered to sync the two up and broadcast them in stereo nowadays. So they always show them in mono now. Only Queen's NYE simulcast concert gets broadcast in stereo still. I think this might have something to do with the band themselves. A Flock Of Seagulls from 1983 was once broadcast in stereo around 10 years ago which I still have. I personally have synced the 1000th episode of Top Of The Pops in May 1983. This was a one-off stereo simulcast with BBC FM Radio 1 or 2. That came out well. I also synced The "BBC Sight & Sound: In Concert" (same show as this) featuring Nena which is from 1984. This came out extremely well. It's like my stereo audio file had been improved to sound more like a concert by the software. This will be my next job. It's just keeping it in sync that can be difficult, but I've got round that now.
Great guitar 🎸 Player. At Hammersmith Odeon.
Love his guitar sound on this. SRV must’ve had a listen.

Thank you very much. I can finally have a decent copy of this amazing Rory concert with Pete Drumond's intro and retire my copy, which is awful.
It wasn't Pete Drummond this time. It was someone else. He says at the beginning when he's introducing the show.
Sadly missed
