I suppose one of the reasons they can get away with that is due to the fact that those live cds were self-released. They did not use Instant Live or some other company. I don't know how Blues Traveler gets away with this: I read some posts once about someone getting in trouble for doing that with the Black Crowes Instant Live discs.

RAR is a what the Mp3 files are housed in - it is like WinZip. I suppose they are available in FLAC on a BT site somewhere out there. I have several of them. I bought them when they came out.

That's pretty strange. Blues Traveler apparently allows the torenting of the live cds they sell, as they only sell them at shows. Usually, when a band sells cds of a show, there are all sorts of warnings with regards to sharing them online. I take it those files are Mp3 files.

What is even more surprising is that a cassette tape that old would even be playable. I still have the first cassettes I got (around 1977) and a few years ago I tried to play some of them. The tapes snapped almost immediately. I suppose it also depends on the brand. The ones I have are cheap. I did manage to digitize a tape from the early 1980s a few years ago, but I think it was due to the fact that it was in a case, and was a more expensive brand of tape. I suppose my initial doubts also had to do with what I have read about early tapers in the Grateful Dead tapers books I have. If I reca

I think it goes sort of like this.

When you do, you should let the guy who's site I posted above know about it. I am sure he would like to know, and could help you with it.

What year? I only say that as cassette machines/cassettes were not all that common in the the time period of say, 1968-1970. As far as I have read, anyhow. I have heard of things like this popping up from time to time. Actually, there was a taper who never put his stuff from the early 70s out there before who is now sharing.

You can't - that is a Bit Torrent site. You have to know how to do Bit Torrent, sign-up with the site, and then download it.

I doubt the cassette is the master tape, most likely, it is a dup from a reel to reel recording. This is a great site to check such things: In from the Storm • Unofficial Jimi Hendrix Material

I've never heard of that. I have quad sound on my receiver. You are making me think of the trick we use to do with headphone jacks back in the day. Actually, I think I have seen some tracks out there where someone has manipulated Beatle songs using that very trick.

One thing I never messed with much - Beatles releases on tape. I have Beatles VI, and Let It Be. I think those are the only two I ever bought. As I recall, the Beatles VI tape sounds absolutely terrible.

Of course, the track listing is also different on the Capitol releases. I noticed that the price of those Capitol CD boxes is dropping for the first time.

So we are getting a new transfer of the mix the George Martin did.

Rob. Don't worry, it will be there eventually.

I don't know if this is still correct or not: Please login (Wilcoworld link) If you do a search in this section, you will find a lot of threads about the DVD downloads. But - I think all of those old links don't work anymore - since they changed things around on their website.

That's right. You are an old dude. I hope the master tapes did not get trashed back in the 1990s. It could be that they are simply to far gone to do a new digital transfer. That is probably talked about somewhere, but there is so much stuff out there about these releases, I may have missed it.

Revolution #9 backwards Turn me on, dead man.

That's good point. I still feel that way. And - The whole ider of The Monkees comes from The Beatle movies.

Ever play it backwards? Actually, I saw a deal on a blog the other day that had all The Beatles songs backwards.

I want to get the new ones, but the price keeps me away. I wonder if The White Album poster will be censored this time around. Number 9, Number 9, Number 9....(article from No Depression)

It's not something I would sit down and listen to for fun, but it is part of the album. The legal deal is a whole other trip. Of course, they supposedly worked things out in the years prior to John being killed. I have read a lot of Beatles books also. The first one I read was in 1977 or 78. That is all we have to go on - the books, and the stories that get handed down over time.

That's a shame, really. They should have went original all the way.

That is true. But, of course, John would not go for Eastman either. As a friend of mine use to say - it took all four of them to make the band. We all have our preferences, of course. I am not really a Paul fan, but in the context of The Beatles, he was needed to make the magic that they gave us.

The other side of that is, of course, that Paul decided to run the show after Brian's death. I certainly don't believe him when he says anything nice about Yoko. They have been feuding for years. It is only when there is new money to be made that they seem to put aside their differences. Also - Jeff or anyone else can bad mouth Jay all they want, but Wilco would not be where they are without him. These are some good examples of why bands don't work as a democracy. Someone has to be in charge. But then, the rest of the dudes get tired of that - eventually.
