A Week-End To Remember !

   June 19th, 1980 !  I remember that day as clearly as if it was yesterday !   Genesis, my 
favourite band of all, were to play in Montreal that night for the first time in almost two years
.  Sitting alone in the living room of my parents house, I was listening to the radio, CHOM-FM 
to be more precise, hoping to catch some news about the forthcoming performance.  Suddenly, the 
answer to my prayer !  The radio announcer, whos name I have forgotten with time, gladly reports
 that Tony Banks of Genesis will be coming in later for a pre-show interview.  My heart starts 
to beat faster as I scramble through my huge stack of cassette tapes, trying to find one with 
enough free space to record the event 
   With my finger standing by the record button, my eyes staring at the table where my very 
own ticket for the second nights show lies, I anxiously await Tonys arrival on the air.  But 
the man is late, caught in heavy traffic somewhere.  Patience, my friend !, I start telling 
myself.  The man will be there soon enough !
   As I sit and wait, I cant help but think of how big a week-end this is going to be in 
Montreal.  The summer is just starting, the province of Quebecs National Holiday is just 
around the corner (June 24th), schools out for everybody and Genesis are in town for two 
nights !  What a way to start the summer !
   Tomorrow, June 20th, I will travel to Montreal to see the second nights performance at the 
Forum.  Meanwhile, at Olympic Stadium, boxers Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard will come head 
to head in one of the most talked about fights in the history of the sport.  Very big week-end 
start indeed !
   Tony Banks has arrived !, a voice says, pulling me from my inner thoughts.  I push the 
button to start the recording and closely listen to Tonys interview.  When it is all over, 
I turn off the radio and put my Duke LP on the old turn table.  Leaning back 
in my chair with my hands behind my head, I begin to daydream again about the
Genesis concerts, about how much I regret not having tickets for tonights show as well. Well !
, I start to think, I may never get to hear tonights performance, but what I will see and hear
 tomorrow night, no-one will ever be able to take away !  I didnt know it at the time, but on 
that blessed day in Montreal, June 20th 1980, I would buy a copy of a fantastic new book about 
Genesis, written by a guy named Armando Gallo.  Minutes later, while waiting for the Forum doors
 to open, I came face to face withArmando Gallo !  What I also didnt know at the time was that,
 after some 24 years, I would finally get to hear the June 19th performance, which I had missed,
 on this great album you are now holding.  Hidden for years, this amazing soundboard recording 
has now surfaced.  We at PRRP are mighty proud to bring it to you as a way to celebrate our 1st 
anniversary!

Notes from the Re-Master

	This Genesis show was provided as a .SHN format soundboard recording. The quality is 
quite good with music signal up to 13,000 Hz but hiss and other sources of noise were found to 
be a major problem. Hiss was reduced using a number of different techniques as the characteristic
 of this noise changed between the music and dialogue sections of the show.  Miss-tracking errors
 were found and corrected during the re-tracking process. Numerous clicks, pops and small dropout
s were also found and repaired. Detail and atmospherics were enhanced as much as possible. Two 
patches were needed to fill gaps within the show. Another soundboard recording from this same 
1980 tour was used for this purpose to match the feel and style as closely as possible. 
The other major problem with the show was the speed and pitch of the recording. The original 
version was clearly off both pitch and speed. Fixed time segments within the show were calculated
 and compared with other similar shows and the studio versions of the songs. Different speed and
 pitch versions were produced and reviewed by the PRRP staff to confirm the best sounding, final
 version.
	The amount of music on each final remaster disc was re-balanced once the decision to use
 the interview was made. The interview segment came from a cassette tape used to record the radio
 broadcast. This was generally a good recording but suffered from significant volume fluctuations
 that needed repair. Commercials and songs presented between the interview segments were removed 
as well as hiss and a transmission buzz that interfered with the dialogue. Finally, the volume of
 the interview was matched to the show for a smooth transition.
