in terms of ranking overall performance. Still have MON, OTT, STJ1, AC1, AC2 and PHI shows to get through.
All of them were fun to listen to, but there were lots of small mistakes/flubs in the bottom two shows listed above. Also, not sure if it's because I'm drunk, or just because I'm using iTunes to listen to it (....or both), but the Hamilton show has like 3 separate instances where the last 3 seconds of a track are looped and repeated as the first 3 seconds of the next track. Is this the sector boundary error thing that was discussed earlier in this thread?
Which instances in Hamilton '05 exactly?

I double-checked the files with VLC and found the same thing. There might have been one more, but I can't find it immediately off hand. I don't even really mind, but for those keeping score at home or OCD people who need something to chew on, there you go. (Also, I said FLAC above, but I meant ALAC)
I'll check to verify this in my FLAC later. I am indeed OCD about stuff like that. I use Foobar2000 and Nightingale to play my FLAC so will have to see.
Have you bought all of the shows yet? I have them all in FLAC but have not listened to them all for these types of glitches yet.
The shows I purchased (in ALAC) are the 4 shows I ranked above, plus the rest listed in that same post and Halifax, which I forgot to list - making it 11 in total.
Of the first 4 I listened to, I only noticed it in the Hamilton show - the others were fine.
One need but peruse the live forum to get an understanding of lowlight79's role on this board and subsequently get appropriately excited by his comment.

Well, I won't read into it. I have them all myself. Still going through them and listening. Shame it took 10 years just for these.
Hearing these in lossless has given me a totally new appreciation for these shows. No longer do they sound like the 2006 tour's wimpier, lower-bitrate cousins, but rather a proper bridge between the fatigued reflectiveness of '03 and the supercharged bombast of '06. Ed's voice on some of the softer material is incredible. Tremendous stuff.
