Why chosing the worst quality when you can have the good best?
Why chosing to make the tapers angry when they only ask to respect a simple rule?
Why taking the risk to make "false" (mp3 sourced) lossless circulating amongst traders who ask for lossless only?

The answer was easy for me....

Do you prefer living in a castle or in a tent?
Do you prefer caviar and 'foie gras' or a sandwich?
Do you prefer lossless or mp3?........

 

Do you prefer caviar and 'foie gras' or a sandwich?

I would actually prefer the sandwich.:lmao:

 

All music should be shared in lossless format. Some people like mp3's and that's fine. They can convert it. They shouldn't share it because the more mp3's there are flooding the market the harder it is to find lossless, and the more work collectors have to go through to ensure quality. Of course, this isn't really a bootleg site, it's a guitar site. I wouldn't expect them to have any integrity over the quality of bootlegs shared here.

 

FLAC wins hands down when you can get it
Otherwise 320 is the best mp3.
Thanks

 

384 is best for mp3



I think mp384 is better, I have a few CDs from 384, and they are identical to CD

 

lossless, it's only fair if you get it in lossless you SHARE it in LOSSLESS

 

Thank you for the lossless heads! And one I didn't have!

 

@ALL:
You´re welcome and thanx for to answer the poll!

 

damn, the amount of opinion regarded as fact, gospel, and sole truth here makes me think i'm ******* heaven. you guys really cant get enough of yourselves or your standards, can you.



curious how well you folks would do in a double-blind listening test.



*cue forumite posts about how they've done their own double-blind tests, and can tell all the time.*

 

I would do quite well if the recordings were presented A-B, whichever format first. I once compared CD-Rs of a lossy Dylan performance with a lossless version gotten weeks later - and the applause and audience noise at the beginning of each was wider in channel separation, deeper in soundstage, and more detailed - you could hear what people were saying in the audience, and that's important to the fidelity of a music capture. Hearing recordings like this is one of the benefits of growing up in the analog age.

 

Thank You!! If you must know I grabbed the FLAC because it was there. Bottom line is the show good? Does it sound good in the CD player in my car on the way to WORK(key word WORK)? I don't have a life to spend looking for FLAC or lossless or whatever. All I care is it sounds good with no Snap Krackle Pop or some yahoo yelling during the whole concert and they are all I hear. You may like apples and I like oranges and sometimes I like apples because my orange might be sour and your apple taste better. What's the point? Exactly! Bottom line, Thank you for uploading a Great Show that sounds good, that's what it's about be it FLAC or MP3 or whatever. You are why we are here. Thank You!!!

 

Definitely FLAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad FLAC is way out in front on this poll.
Thanks for the FLAC uploads you've already posted.

 

Again, many thanks for this amazing piece of history. Mr. Morrison was pardoned by the Governor of Florida in December 2010 for the "wardrobe malfunction" he experienced during this very concert.

 

Cake.

 

Thank you very much, I will surely enjoy this. Thanks again.

 

There should be other parts of the pole, 'soundboard' and 'audience'.
Let's face it, a poor audience recording in any format is still shit and not worth sharing in the first place.

'Flac Snobs'!
I convert everything to mp3! I have all my music on my Motorola Xoom which i plug into my usb head in my car, so flac doesn't mean shit to me. Literally is 'a complete waste of space'!

 

Thanks for the Rapidshare links

 

Since this thread already been dug back up...

Loves Lossless.

You take your diamonds uncut, you can always convert, dilute, despoil, shut it down, lose it lossy later.

Start with shit you can never go back, build it back up, put it back together again.

 

Meanwhile...Can somebody re-up the Nihon 1979 show? THANKS

 

Could someone please re-post this? Thanks for considering it....

Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to help all of us out!

 

Too funny! If ya download lossless and want to make an mp3, go for it... is a free world. But don't claim they are as good as FLAC or that because you don't care we shouldn't care. Good for Mr. Worker that he doesn't care because he is the only person who works and anyone who wants FLAC must not have a job... what a joke, ehhh? If one wants to listen to shit one can listen to shit. But by the same token, don't put down others who simply want lossless files on a lossless page.

 

thanks!!

If a taper/digital/recorder ect. gets a show it can be good copy or bad if good flac/wav/shn/ are fine and I will enjoy it once I have it. If however its a Bad copy and than pushed as flac/wav/shn thats Wrong. Thats no better than Transcoding/superboosting ect. I would not say that an mp3 of any bitrate is as good or better than lossless. Because there is no argueing with the fact. I hope this made my position clear. Im the other guy who voted for other now my fav encode of Lossy is VBR Extreme and my Lossless choice is wav (cause it burns right onto a cd-r).
And I have no problem with having to do my own encoding, how else would peeps learn anything if it were all done for them?
But thats just the way I see it.

 

no matter what you think... wavs and mp3's are not the same. no matter how high you can get the bps on the mp3 (and i believe 320bps is the highest for mp3)..the music is lossy. you may not have an ear defined enough to tell the difference but I sure can. The easiest way to tell is that the Hi-hat and the low lows like the kick drum or the 5-6 string bass notes will fall away. That's how the mp3 works. It truncates the frequencies of the original audio. First stuff to go as you decrease the bitrate is the high's and the low's. Also listening carefully..the general sound of the audio tends to be shrill or lifeless. I'm not saying mp3's are useless, but for listening to bootlegs if you are an audiophile, the difference is noticable and usually night and day. thanks for this great upload I only had this on one side of a cassette i got in trade 25 years ago.

 

Thank you kindly for music

 

What question is that?

Of course I would prefer a rip of a 1920s grammophon -> directly to a 96kbps mp3. Or even lower if possible. My hobby is collecting recordings with worst possible quality. The reason is clear: In our modern world harddisc space is so extremely expensive, that the highest goal for music to hear is not a proper quality but least possible harddisc space to use!!

It even more fits together with the fact, that Talking Heads are a crappy overrated band, haha.
