The only thing post Zeppelin I ever got into was Robert's first solo album, Pictures at Eleven. I saw him on the Manic Nirvana tour, and I have that cd, signed by him. Come to think of it, I also have the Page/Plant cd and the No Quarter/Unledded dvd.

I think in some ways, like Pink Floyd, they are holding themselves up to some standard - or Robert seems to be anyway. That is, one show, yes, but nothing else. In some ways, it is quite brilliant. I have never heard the Page/Coverdale album.

I do not know.

I was thinking the same thing while I was watching those scenes of that dude in her class talking to her.

The files are FLAC files (or in some cased SHN files), that is, lossless files. Mp3 files are lossy files. You will need to start with learning about FLAC files, and then go from there. Obtaining tracks form The Owl and The Bear has nothing to do with Bit Torrent - they are two different things. When you snag something from The Owl and The Bear, it is a direct download, that is, The Owl and The Bear are hosting the files, and anyone can just snag them directly. Although this stuff may seem overwhelming at the moment, it will be no big deal once you learn. And once you learn, it will open

Someday - I am going to find or create a step by step screen shot how to for such things. There is probably one out there somewhere. Basically, after you download the torrent file, and it is on your desktop, then you need to open it with your BT client. You will also need to make a folder somewhere - as when you open the torrent file you downloaded, it will ask you where to save the tracks that will be coming in to your computer. Remember, BT works by everyone sharing. After you get that going on, there is, of course, some tweaking to do, - but you should not worry about that at the moment.

I received Volume 1 of The Deadhead's Taping Compendium today - very good shape - except for a bent top right corner - but I can live with that. The amount of information in those books is astounding. Link

Check this out - Brian's Bit Torrent FAQ and/or the links at the bottom of my signature line - or just get it from The Owl and The Bear as I mentioned above.

Video report from CNN

The only time they have been released in this country besides the initial cd releases (which were terrible), was the 1993 boxset (and then individually in 1994). I have found the sound of the cds in the boxset to be not so great. It would be nice if they re-mastered them in HDCD - but I bet this is just going to the same versions as the 1993 boxset, only with fancy artwork. It is probably the same package that is available in Japan and the UK. Looks I am right:

You are right - there always seems to be some confusion about these shows - odd. Here is what we have: 1/14/2006 (not yet) 4/8/2006 2/24/2007 3/3/2007 1/12/2008 4/5/2008 4/12/2008 (no) The following information was supplied by gogo:

I was talking about the April 12, 2008 show - all the rest - except 4/8/06 - (which we have coming from Europe), is up at The Owl and The Bear.

Pastors preaching politics?

Probably the only one I have ever seen besides the old ones from back in the day is Nobody's Fool.

Nobody's Fool

I think I sent a copy to someone here once - not sure. I've had it for years.

A Zappa thread from last summer - if you want to look at it. I would be surprised if what you want ever happens - due to the way The Zappa Family Trust looks after things. As an album oriented person, I would not care for such a deal myself.

No - I don't think this one is going to be made available to the public.

That reminds me - someday, I need to scan that Grateful Dead themed Jews For Jesus pamphlet I have.
