Background:

The Fixx played two shows at "The Rainbow Music Hall", in Denver, CO, on September 8, 1983 (an early and late show). These shows were recorded for both an audio broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, and a video broadcast on MTV. The video broadcast was primarily pulled from the late show, with the exception of "Lost Planes" which was from the early show.

I taped this from MTV when it originally aired in 1983, and just re-transferred it to digital. Unfortunatley, while the video was good quality, the audio wasn't (linear mono and garbled). Fortunately, this had been completely recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, and I had a copy. I replaced all the original audio with the clean audio from the KBFH broadcast (Except the opening MTV credits which is original audio). It synced up nicely, and any variations are far outweighed by the superior audio in my opinion. A previous version of this show, that I had prepared and shared on DVD (on Dimeadozen) 15 years ago, is also on YouTube. This is a fresh transfer with better equipment.
