[idea] The +LiVe+ Lossless Torrent Project, Getting more boots from outside the fansoflive.com community Options

[thatsme]

This board has been my main source for +LiVe+ bootlegs in the past 2 or 3 years.
As hard drives storage capacities have increased, I'm mainly trying to collect pure sourced material.

Two facts :

1. There are still a bunch of +LiVe+ bootlegs jewels that remain unsurfaced as pure sourced format (I'm thinking about some amazing soundboards like Gino '95 or Cirkus '97, a few FM broadcasts and honorable sounding audience recordings like Erie, PA '97).

2. Most of the material that has been posted here comes from about 10 people (Dangum, JSax, OutTodry, Ridley, BERLINONE, brianblank, myself ...).

We probably reached the limit of what we could share and still, some great recordings we have as mp3 and some older cassette or DAT stuff from both TC/SS eras listed on some old-school live music traders pages over the internet are missing.

So I think it's time to open ourselves to some larger communities like http://www.dimeadozen.org/ or http://zombtracker.the-zomb.com/ and to see what we could get from the rest of the world.

At last, the recent comeback with Chris Shinn as lead vocalist and the forthcoming new songs and tour might help us grabbing some interest from older and currently idle +LiVe+ addicts.

It's not my idea. The Oasis fan community did that recently and quite a few recordings were shared. I know the Oasis fanbase is bigger than the +LiVe+ fanbase, but we have nothing to lose

We could link each torrent to a single post on this board which lists each and every tour date and radio/TV appearance the band has done to date and check what has already been shared and what is still missing.

(+ this might bring us some new people on the board)

What do you think ?

what shows are being 'ordered' thatsme if you don't mind me asking?

And, if you think my recent flac upload has any merit, do let me know if it can be cleaned up. Tape was a very low recording and a second gen dub.

(said to be) Pure sourced versions of :
05/18/92 - Bulletsound Studio, Nederhorst den Berg, Netherlands
09/06/92 - The Roxy, Los Angeles, CA
11/22/94 - Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA ("Yorksters in Boston" silver)
06/09/95 - Club Gino, Stockholm, Sweden ("Gino" silver)

One of the guys I got contacted by has some unsurfaced masters on analog tape.
He needs to transfert them so I don't know if he'll do anything as it is alot of work (you know what I'm talking about, right ).

Again, we can't rely on offers and promises; just wait and see. As for now, I'm still the only one seeding Live shows on Dime and Zomb... But I only 'started the fire' 24 hours ago.

And, if you think my recent flac upload has any merit, do let me know if it can be cleaned up. Tape was a very low recording and a second gen dub.

I haven't had the time to download and give it a listen yet, but I think any show deserves to be shared. You'll always find a bunch of die hard completists collectors to download Z- quality stuff.

You can post some mp3 samples with the torrent so that people can decide whether they'd get the whole lossless thing or not.

I have this show, 1993-11-10 UC Ballroom, University of Maryland, Baltimore, MD, which hasn't been widely spreaded yet.
It sounds really, really bad. I might try to share it. We never know...

Just my two cents
