thanks for those DIME's the LA show and the 2 meter compilation rock.

Love's Ed's drunken rant on the LA show!!

Never understood the fascination with .flac. I do everything .mp3 because I don't have a giant harddrive nor do I have the time to sit around for such a large file.

[OutToDry]

so much better though!!

And it's friggen annoying with iTunes.

Never understood the fascination with .flac. I do everything .mp3 because I don't have a giant harddrive nor do I have the time to sit around for such a large file.

From a personal perspective, I like to start with lossless files that I can convert myself to whatever mp3 quality I need (iPod, car, USB stick...).

Doing this way, I only store music in FLAC so I can always start from an optimal sounding source and share the same optimal source with people on the internet.

Each of us has different ears and different playback systems. From my own experience, I can tell you I'm able to hear compression artifacts when listening to a 160kbps mp3. Once it's a 192kbps mp3, I can't really tell the difference compared to a lossless source. Sometimes with audience recordings or very compressed radio or TV broadcasts.

Live tapes are supposed to be (are, most of the time) of a lesser quality than professional studio recordings. That's why people usually look for a lossless source when it's about bootlegs.
A bad mp3 compression can really decrease sound quality and ruin playback experience.

I can remember having a really hard time finding lossless versions of 'biblical' shows like Riverside Theater '97 or Summersounds '98.
Before that, shitty mp3 versions were widely circulating. Crowd noise and cymbals sounded like the sound was recorded underwater, there were glitches and pops between tracks (which is horrible when you're listening to a concert).

In addition, each time you're re-compressing an mp3 removes even more audio information.
That's also why live tapers are giving information about their tapes lineage (transfert, generation, and so on...).

Think about how crappy would such the following lineage sound :
DAT master > wav > CD-R > mp3 > CD-R > mp3 > CD-R > mp3 > CD-R > mp3.

I can tell you an A- DAT master can quickly become a C- mp3 source.

I got 4 new shows by sharing 6 myself, which is a good ratio IMHO

Shows that have already been shared (can't edit the very first post of this topic which would have been better ...)

I've updated your first post

[thatsme]

I've updated your first post

Thank you Dangum. I'll stop posting shows for now.
We might get one or two more from some Dime users within the next few days/weeks.

At the beginning of September I'll start posting again, hoping to grab more interest.

[+AllOverMe+]

That's Me, Your our flac god here. I've got not everything that has already been shared, download some now. thank you very much for sharing the links.

[thatsme]

I picked each and every http://www.phishhook.com/ user that had one ore more Live shows listed on their list and send them an e-mail.

In fact, I just sent 80 (?!) e-mails.

Wait and see...

[OutToDry]

wow, that's awesome. That should yield some results!!

[thatsme]

I'm not expecting that much. I got 10 "Mailer Daemon" already.

A very small amount of lists were still updated. Most of those people are certainly retired from the trading circle.

[thatsme]

Here are the first 10 songs of the setlist:

1. Mystery
2. The River
3. All Over You
4. Rattlesnake
5. Shit Towne
6. Sofia
7. Mirror Song
8. I Walk The Line
9. White, Discussion
10. Iris

Do you (or someone else) know the date and location from this show? I only know it's in 2006 and in Australia.
