    Re: Concert Vault Feedback

    I'd certainly give a Joe Jackson show a spin...I'm the Man was great stuff from the early days, and I remember 'Different For Girls' from my childhood.

    I'm not an expert of Van Morrison (although I do like some of his more well known / better stuff), but I'd say there is a good chance a stereo version exists.

    I say this on the basis a stereo recording (from a transcription LP made at the time) of a Bowie BBC live concert from 1971 - when according to their records (and popular belief too) they didn't record in stereo - recently surfaced in fan circles. It's a shame Wolfgang probably can't host BBC material as I doubt it will ever get an official airing!

    Also, while it was before my time, I'm pretty sure FM stereo radio took off in America before (possibly considerably) it did in the UK - in the late 60's I think?

    I'd say there's a good chance if they have it, you'd hear that session in stereo - also on the basis Wolfgang unearth longer recordings than previously existed and ones in stereo mixes that were previously unheard (the Bowie Nassau 76 had *always* circulated with the first 3 tracks in mono amongst fans...given that I've heard proof there were recording problems that night - Life On Mars was only half recorded for that reason - I'd always put it down to a fault until I heard the show on here!).
