Kiss 1986/03/27 Asylum Tour: Eric Civic Center, Erie, PA (Mr. Sifter Remaster)

 

KISS
1986-03-27
Erie, PA


A rare SBD from the Asylum tour, albeit one absolutely destroyed by a constant buzzing on the source tape that the FOH engineer took all the way until Gene’s bass solo to fix. I did the best I could to remove it as much as possible using Ozone DeNoise, it’s still embedded in the music but much less obtrusive. Added some light EQ/mastering touches but otherwise left the recording as-is.

Elton John 1995/08/30 Riverport Amphitheater, Maryland Heights, MO (Mr. Sifter Remix & Remaster)

 

Elton John
Wednesday August 30, 1995
Riverport Amphitheater
Maryland Heights, MO
Remastered by Mr. Sifter, Jan. 2024.
Remaster notes: 
Split and remixed using DeMix Pro and Logic Pro. Mastered with Ozone 11. Remixed to achieve a better balance and also achieve some minor stereo separation with keys & guitars. Drums and bass EQ’d to have better presence, and added a slight bit of reverb to the final mix to make it feel more like a live album and less like a straight SBD feed. There are some brief dropouts in the original source, they are noted by the original seeder at the bottom.
Like my previous entry from 1989, this fills a gap in the official Elton live catalog, with nothing official from the Made In England tour as yet appearing. Unfortunately only 4 songs from that album appear, but they’re great, and a couple other rarities like “Dixy Lily” and “Come Down In Time” round out the setlist nicely.

Elton John – piano and vocals
