The Specials - Manchester 3/5/09


Firstly thanks to PABBY for recording the gig and then uploading to dimeadozen for us.if you read the comments he has another specials post to come soon.i cant wait for that one.top notch guy and we all thank him a lot.
woohoo.thanks again to madphil for the headsup on this gem and also to longy for the advice on winrar and also to camden dave for all the other stuff involved in getting this recording to you.me and camden took longys advice and as he said bizarrely enough it seems to have worked.we also did the gig as winzip instead of winrar and maybe that worked too.but we downloaded it again to check and it WORKS!!!all 27 tracks of it (although one is the break when they left the stage before the encores).i think the sound is slightly better too which is always nice.so until the next posting or next tuesday may the 12th when i see some of you at brixton academy(ill be in front of the mixing desk wearing a mondo-de-muebles t-shirt!!)play this loud,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!

Saw them monday 4th in Manchester - nothing short of brilliant. Ghost town was all reverb and dubby echo , i could have listened all night. You will love Brixton. Thanks for this Jay

Thanks for this. It was a blinding gig!
I envy anyone who is about to see them for the first time, they'll blow yer sox off!

Ha! I knew it wouldn't take long for this show to appear on here!

I'm the guy who recorded it and posted it to Dimeadozen. I also recorded the folowing night's show too, which is far superior in quality to this one. I don't yet know when I'll be posting it though, so keep your eyes on Dimeadozen.

hey PABBY great recording of the specials mate.absoulutely brilliant!now i know its from you ill put a credit up for you.thanks again.do you have a blog by any chance?

PABBY said...

Cheers mate. Believe me, if you like this one, the Monday recording should blow you away!

BTW, I also posted a Madness recording on Dimeadozen last weekend that I made last December. It's definitely worth checking out.

There's no blog I'm afraid (yet), but I'm contactable via Dimeadozen or The Traders Den if required.

Just wanted to say that reading your blog made me do an effort to check tickets for the apparantly sold out Specials gigs at Brixton and it got me a ticket for the 12th! Never has reading a blog been so rewarding!

Thanks a lot! :-)

Cheers from Norway
