Rather than just paste the first 8 songs onto the BBC show, I thought I'd build a complete mix of all three sources. This allows the mix to have a similar sound throughout, making it less of a cut and paste job. The BBC source was also fairly sterile - adding the AUD sources overtop livens it up ;-)
The result is a pretty choice show I think, certainly worth a grab. Here's what was done to each of the three recordings...

Wilatw's source:
- Heavy EQ to make it sound more like the top end of the BBC show.
- Amplify and add some missing low end and vocals.

Martinick's source:
- Time adjust to match first source.
- fix about 200 pops and glitches from a bad microphone. By hand, each one.

BBC Source:
- Time adjust to match first source.

The mix was able to:
- Remove the BBC announcer
- Work around several unfixable glitches in Martinick's source, particularly in the intros to songs.
- For the most part, unless working around a glitch or an announcer, the mix is 33% of each source. - The first 8 tracks are 50% of the two AUD sources.

Even without the BBC source this would have been an excellent mix. Adding the the BBC source gives the last 2/3 of the show a bit more body, but doesn't overpower the already great mix made by the other two.

Hope you like it - it will have to do until a complete pre-FM comes out ;-)

And as always, thanks to the original tapers for their hard work, and for their direct permission to create this mix.

No better quality available, so it's allowed to post this here.

I made a mix of two broadcasts on bbc radio 2. On the first broadcast, they aired directly from Twickenham stadium but they missed the first seconds of "city of blinding lights". Between Christmas and newyear, bbc radio 2 did a rebroadcast of this show and they aired 4/5 songs that weren't in the first broadcast. However, the second broadcasts were actually only some highlights from let's say 60 minutes so they skipped some songs from the first broadcast. I mixed these two broadcasts together. This is the most complete version that's available: 107 minutes, 20 songs).

setlist:
Vertigo
I Will Follow
Elevation
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
All I Want Is You
City of Blinding Lights
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky - When Johnny Comes Marching Home
Running to Stand Still
Pride
Where the Streets Have No Name
One
Zoo Station
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Yahweh
Vertigo

Enjoy!

Cheers
