I'd certainly prefer London if I had to choose between the two, I'm not very concerned with getting Philly.

I don't know how many shows I could reasonably commit to right now (probably going to be determined by how much this thing costs) but I would be pretty keen for:

London
St Johns 1 (this and London are probably my most-wanted shows)
Buenos Aires 1
Porto Alegre

I'll take Philly so long as I can get a FLAC of London.

everyone can have all the flacs

YOU GET THE FLACS!

YOU GET THE FLACS!

EVERYBODY GETS THE FLACS!!!

Oh it's on folks.

Anyone know if bootleg coupon codes will work for these shows in FLAC?

Just noticed that the 9/1/2005 Gorge show does not include I Won't Back Down. Wasn't part of the original mp3 download, but it was on the CD for the 2005/2006 Gorge box set. Hopefully they fix it and it is included.

These are FLAC re-releases of the exact same mixes as the 2005 MP3 boots so I guess it makes sense that I Won't Back Down hasn't been included. The version in the boxset was a new mix made especially for the box.

Downloads also include all of the original pictures and artwork that came with the MP3 downloads.

Weird, I didn't get any of that.

I use the manual downloader thing, though.

For those who have listened: do you notice any silence between tracks? Like, the kind of we used to get back in 2005 when you converted/ripped MP3s? Maybe I'm just oversensitive, but I feel like there are very, very slight hiccups between tracks on the London show.

The people who prepare this stuff for FLAC never align the sector boundaries properly.

You must:
Convert them to WAV.
Select the sector boundary fixer (do not pad the files) in the converter and re-covert them.
*or* Fix the sector boundaries first (no padding), and then re-convert to FLAC if desired.

These were all over my copies of the Vic and Constitution Hall CD's, as well as the few 2014 boots I ordered.

Listened to London through both VLC and my iPod; the silence between tracks was much more pronounced in VLC. On my iPod, it was basically a "click." I haven't had trouble with this since the 2005 MP3s, so I'm sure these were barely quality-controlled when they released the FLAC.

London is one of my favorites shows ever.

And Buenos Aires 1 was a magical night.

Has a comp of rarities/cinderellas been produced yet? Let's get on this team, RM.

So far I have 6 shows from the 2005 Official FLAC re-release. Quality is the same minus the gaps that were in the MP3 releases. Atleast I can't hear them now. Now If I could just find someone to trade with so I didn't have to buy all of these AGAIN I would be in good shape.

So far so good.

So far. Atleast to me they are.

The bootlegs sounds like they have more air to breath IMHO. Ed sounds more up front and you can definitely hear the venue's take on the bootleg.
