[peel] Extensive collection of 'In Concerts'

[Guzzmonster]

Wow,that's an impressive collection and I love the Hitachi tape deck,proper hi-fi!!!
I am looking for a few recordings,which I had but were crap quality!
I think there was a Warren Zevon gig from Hammy Odeon in 1988,and an Alarm gig from around the same time,also do you have a complete recording of the Elton John gig from Wembley Stadium,June 1984,particularly looking for a recording of Big Country's support set!

Keep up the good work!

The 200 that I've already transferred are various years from 1970 up to 1988 and again, ALL in superb sound quality.

Also, if I can help anyone with transmission dates or anything else relating to the 'In Concert' series, fire away! I can't promise to know the answers, but I'll do my best to find out.
