It is my pleasure!

I have to say that you won't be disappointed with this particular recording; I am listening to it right now and it is wonderful! The sound quality is fabulous, the music incredibly moving and the excitement is palpable... Wow! How is this still possible?

remote1 says ' wow how is this possible?'

It is amazing isn't it? You would think they all would be burnt out by now. They must love what they are doing and enjoy seeing a very happy audience. The tour will soon be over and then what will we do?

It does not bear thinking about.

Morning!

I've just added file 6 - Who by Fire - to the Grenoble recording. Sorry, I missed it last night when I ticked all the files to be copied into the Grenoble folder.
As for file 10, there isn't one, but you will find both Chelsea Hotel #2 and Waiting for the Miracle in file 9.

So the show is pretty much complete apart from that very last song...

Silly question time (sorry!): is there any way to download a whole show in one go or do I have to download each track one at a time?

Wendy

Unfortunately, I have not found that option to be available with Megaupload. Files have to be uploaded and downloaded individually (on free accounts at least; I don't know about the premium ones). One of the Ghent concerts has 40 tracks if one includes the soundcheck, so downloading the whole of it will be tedious!

If you would like to download the whole thing in one go, it's best to go direct to Dime and download the torrent using a bittorrent app like Vuze, for instance. You can then listen to the concert in lossless format (FLAC), using something like VLC Player, or convert the files to MP3 using something like FreeRip.

Hope this helps!

I am actually uploading a compressed/zipped file with all tracks for Ghent 21.08.2010 included. It is 300MB and will take a couple of hours, but I think it's going to work.

Would you like me to do the same thing for Grenoble?

For those of you who want to download individual tracks of Ghent - 21.08.2010 + soundcheck (source: Banalny, with thanks from Remote1), here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?f=3LPVK93V.

Thanks, remote1. I will be downloading this soon.
By the way, I was finding the song-by-song downloading on megaupload a little tedious with the 45 second wait, so I paid my $10 for a month's membership: so much easier and MUCH faster. I downloaded a whole concert in a really short time.
Sue

remote1,

I've said this before and I'll say it again - you are a sweetheart
Thank you so much for all of these audio concerts which I now have the greatest pleasure of listening to.

Bev

B4Real you are dead right Remote1 is No.1 in my book.

Thank you remote1
