Audience version of Werchter 1981

[mjco]

Hi to all DS fans!

I'm building up a new version of the werchter 1981. I've already collected several untracked files, as well as the well-known existing bootlegs of this concert.
At the moment, I built a continuous recording of the live, with no skips / blanks, from "once apon a time" to "portobello belle".
 
In bootleg "Perfect Werchter", there are some audience songs which means there is at least one existing audience bootleg of this concert.

Does anybody has a copy of the untracked files of this (these) audience(s) recording? I would be able to finish my work and share back the mixed source full concert to the community.

Thanks in advance!

BR,
MJ

This show was played in a festival, so probably the numer of tracks played was shorter, is very likely that there is nothing more to found.

Never heard about a Werchter 81 audience recording, neither about the "Perfect Werchter", do you have anything about that you can show us? pictures etc?

You can compare with the end of the video live
and you will deduce this file is part of the audience recording I'm looking for :-)

Wild west end and Southbound again can't be from Werchter.

Where that bootleg can be found?

[mjco]

You can find it in Unlimited in the 1981/Audience directory

let me know if you do not have access to Unlimited I'd share it with you

But you agree Portobello Belle is from Werchter. Same for "Where do you think you're going" that has the same crowd in the beginning that what we can hear at the end of "tunnel of love" in the video.

So an audience recording of Werchter 1981 definitely exists! What we need to do is locate it :-) maybe the beginning of once upon a time and some other transitions could be rescued from there.

Additionally, It could be handy to locate this bootleg as it looks it has missing soundboard tracks as well:

But I could not find it neither

I just got it from Jeroen and this Bootleg is a mix of SBD and AUD files.

AUD files look from the same source than the ones of the Perfect Werchter.

I'll continue to look for the full Audience files.
If someone read this post and owns audience files of this venue please keep us updated!
