Unfortunately I don't have the lineage, and I don't have any artwork either (perhaps someone could make some?). Quality is very good.

File size : 615 MB

NOTE: I received this as FLAC and shared it here initially as such, but upon closer examination it seems that some of the files are lossy-sourced. I apologise for not checking this thoroughly first. If you share this with anyone please be good enough to warn them of this.

Good download and enjoy!

Thank you Ginger for sharing another quality show.

Thanks Ginger!

merci Ginger :)

Thanks alot!

Many thanks, Ginger!

Thank you very much.
Didn't have this one.

Kiitos ! (thank you in finnish)

Great post! Thank you very much!

Thanks Ginger, didn't have this one complete yet. :-)

I checked it myself as well, and it seems to drop off at 18khz. It's hard to say...

Any other opinions?

I looked at it with Tau, EAC and Traders Little Helper, and results are not exactly conclusive. Indeed, with Tau while it says that this is CDDA (is lossless), if you look at the spectrum analysis graph there is a dropoff. For other tracks, particularly on Side 2 (look at Borhap, for instance) the case for lossy is much more pronounced. Conclusion - I am no longer convinced that this is totally lossless and am going to adapt the first post (and title) in consequence.

Apologies to all for the for any annoyance and hopefully one day we will all get a truly lossless version of this gig!

...I think the show was recorded on an audiocassette (it's basicly how it sounds), therefore it only recorded the spectrum between 30HZ and 16KHz...
Probably this recording transfered a couple of times to other cassettes before running through a (simple) A/D converter and became digital.

This wisdom comes because I worked for a audiocassette factory at the mastering department, 15 years ago...I picked up a few things.

My verdict: It's lossless in the way that it hasn't been altered by mp3 compression...
But it's lossy in the way that much was lost from the original mastertape...and lossy because it could have been A/D'ed more properly...

It's waiting for a more low-gen cassette now...

BTW...note that this recording could benifit much from remastering and remixing. And it's pretty easy to make this 'look' like a real lossless thing (just fool around with the EQ in the high end...)

from Now I'm Here (different spectrum analyser)

Thanks for this very informative post, Loser in the End! It helps explain the conflicting findings of EAC etc. But should I add it to the FLAC list (eventually with a caveat) or leave it out until a better version comes along?

Could someone please reseed this!? :)

Reseeding now, for anyone who missed this last time :)

Any more seeders please?!?

Amazing... thanks, Ginger. :)

I am seeding it! So are 8 other people, apparently :) Patience, and you will get there! happy Easter :)

Seed please!

Thanks for the reseed, Ginger!
Toay I listened to the recording and I must say, the sound quality is almost as bad as Freddie's voice on that occasion. But still it's great to listen to because of the great atmosphere among the crazy Japanese kids. And fascinationg how Freddie manages the complete set with that almost non-existent voice.

Thanks for the reseed.....

Seeding, but as usual I don't see you??
Hopefully you finished downloading or got connected to the other peers:-)

I wasn't at home today, but I'll give it a try:-)

I'm still seeding (not continually, but most of the time). Problem is, that I'm on a Mac behind a firewall, and it seems that only few torrent clients can communicate with mine (Transmission 1.1).

Today morning was 1 seed and i had a fucking problems with my internet :[ what a bad luck, please seed again

Hello Ginger,can you reseed this concert? Thanks in advance

Yes it works.
