Great job done on this cleaned up Docklands Audio, although to me the infamous echo on the original recording takes me right back dockside. This shows what can be done and could be even better if ever given the official remaster / re-release treatment

Hmmm...april 1st has long gone...was slightly convinced listening to it up to equinoxes5...seems someone has overdubbed the Houston version over the docklands radio version. Not listened to all of the show yet...

All right..listened to most of it now. Its really rather good. Love equinoxe 7, revolutions.
But come on..souvenir of China has been mullered, its been overdubbed with the cities in concert version as had equonoxe 7 to a small degree..leave alone!!! Other than that, well done!!

The "re-imaging" comment by the poster does kind of give the game away that the music audio is not the original Docklands audio.

Yes, I read that bit.. some of the tracks sound like the actual recording of the radio broadcast eg: mag fields 2, london kid, revolutions. What i'm puzzled about is why tracks like souvenir's, equinoxe 5 & 7 had to be overdubbed. Its a nice recording all the same.

It's a clean sound, alright, but not exactly a Docklands one (aside from the Revolutions tracks) - it's quite jarring to realize "oh wait this audio is from Houston/wherever". It also made me realize how different the album versions of RV4 and London Kid sounded compared to the originals.
But as far as editing work is concerned, this is just tremendous. The Docklands extended versions of Revolutions and The Emigrant sound simply splendid, so they're my favorites. :]

I have to agree with the comments above. I was slightly disappointed with the Equinoxe 5 but they've have done a good job with part 7.
