REVIEW:

On April 22, 1979, The Rolling Stones and The New Barbarians, played two benefit concerts for the Canadian National Institute For The Blind (CNIB) in Oshawa.

This shows can be included in the New Barbarians series as Volume 04 and 05 but because they also include the Stones it was decided to present them separately.

The gigs were introduced through John Belushi and Cliff Lorimer. First the New Barbarians played their set, then Jagger & Richards played Prodigal Son and after that the Stones entered the stage (joined for the last song Jumpin' Jack Flash by the remaining musicians of The New Barbarians: two recordings for this show were available. One of bad quality that can be found in particular on the Rockin’ Rott version called Our First Blind Date (RR 2000) 2cdr. The other one was of worse quality, but contained the intro. The Rockin’ Rott recording was de-clicked, amplified and rebalanced the channels (+25 to 30% to the right channel). This tape ran way too fast and had to be decelerated. Using Before Tet Make Me Run from the evening show as reference it was assumed it had to be decelerated by -8%.

The intro and the first second of Breathe On Me are coming from the horrible tape (ht) after using filters to make it somehow listenable. The Stones show was found on 3 recordings. The better one is coming from the vinyl release Place Aux Dames but also Shades & Canes (Mona Records M-KR4-Fugue) here (PAD) but missed the 3 first tracks. On this source the channels were rebalanced (+05 to 15% to the right channel), de-clicked and phased. On the 3 first tracks, taken from the Rockin’ Rott release they have been decelerated by -2,35% and de-clicked.  This is probably the best sounding version of this concert which had received very poor exposure on the few bootlegs that document the first show and despite all the efforts remains barely audible.
