LDB Vintage Series #040

Hi there! After closing both my Master and Special series I took a break from seeding, enjoying life and most of all
preparing for a new series! This is not going to be as frequent as my previous ones, I'll be seeding shows from time
to time so don't expect massive volumes here.

Why a "vintage" series? Because music in the 70's and 80's was really something...so different, so special with "that" kind
of sound which you don't find anymore. That was the era of real music without the internet, of long tours and enjoyable live
shows spanning from metal to new wave, progressive, jazz, fusion, pop. So many bands were born and disappeared during those
two decades.

I am then celebrating the 70's and the 80's and their unmistakeable sound in this LDB Vintage Series. You will find many bands
I have never seeded in the past but that I still enjoy listening to. Most of these come from low generation tapes that were traded
around that period, many radio broadcasts and overall lots of surprises.

Hope you will enjoy this new series!

Another one in the "italians go to Switzerland" series. I must have seeded so many of those shows from the 70's & 80's when many
fans from Italy - because of the concert ban from major rock acts - used to travel to the land of chocolate by train or by car. I
did it as well and I can remember the excitement to see those shows you would never be able to catch in the home country.

We used to bring flags with us and shout very loud to show to the artists that Italy was there. In this particular show Graham
Bonnet greeted and thanked italian fans at least a couple of times and you could hear several comments coming from italian fans.
To be honest, if many of these swiss shows have been recorded and circulate today, this is thanks to my compatriots who took the
time and the effort to do it!

The show is very powerful and the audience is on fire. At the end of the normal set, the outro music is heard. Then on my tape there
is a gap and the show continues with another version from Catch The Rainbow. This is quite strange but not unusual when the audience
is so loud that the band comes back for an additional encore after the outro music. This is clearly a different version from the one
played earlier in the show (different intro from Graham) but on the other hand seems to belong to the same recording. So I opted to
keep it here and consider it as an encore. That makes this show being much longer than the usual 100 minutes standard.

Soundwise this is ok although not excellent. Must be low generation from RLR collection but I have no info about the exact one.

Enjoy!
