Only bad thing about these files, they are not genuine flac (Lossless). Not trying to nit pick, but i would bet these were just ripped from the video files of the Woodstock performance. Seems like they were tweeked in Audacity or a similar program, then passed on as flac. Here is proof of what i am talking about:

See where the line is in the middle around the 15 mark, that is what the actual quality of the song is - it's actually about a 128kbps quality file. Around or above the 22 mark is usually where your lossless files peak out at. The high mark on this file around 22 is actually not legit because this file was edited (or upscaled) in an audio editor. it is not possible for an audio file to go from 128kbps to lossless.

**I used 'Where Fishes Go' from this show as an example.

**This useful little tool is called Spek, you can download it here:

I just like my files to be legit, i'm a quality nerd i know. These files do sound good though, they just aren't genuine flac.

Trust me, it's defenitely not nit picking!
It's rather a big help to me, my collection of Live is very precious and addictive to me!

About Spek, its new for me, and dont know how to use or to see its a legit flac...

Her is a picture of a true Lossless file ripped from my Throwing Copper Cd (I used Horse), which i have on my hard drive. I convert all my lossless files to 'Windows Media Lossless' format. I know there are quite a few lossless formats but i like WMA Lossless personally, to each their own.

**As you can see in this picture the waves peak clear at the top indicating that it is indeed a Lossless, pure audio file.

**Here is a 320kbps Mp3 file. They usually hit close to the 19-20 range. I have had some excellent encoded 320 kbps Mp3's go above the 20 range, but it's usually around 20.
