This one was difficult, to say the least. I worked on it a few times over the last 3 or 4 months. I had a source of it that I got from the newsgroups maybe three weeks after the show, and no source info. It sounded nice, but much like a digital FM source or even more likely a digital TV broadcast, as at times I hear an 18k TV tube interference. Digital FM or TV is something which I consider to be more of a lossy format. It's an encoded process anyway, and if MP3's or WMA's are considered lossy, then so should these as it's a very similar process. It's nice that it didn't start out lossless, then lossy, then back. But let's face it, it ain't lossless the way an old dog like me expects his lossless to be. Yea, I'm not a big fan of the digital FM or TV. Woof.

Then Obertu sent us his lossless TV rip. Ouch! That one is crunched. Heavily. But contains certain elements that mine lacked. Combining them is tricky, but I did it anyway. I had to play with it often, abandon it, try again a different way, then abandon again. When combining two sources of identical origin (the TV broadcast in this case) phasing issues come to the forefront real quick. So it wasn't easy, and I ended up with more of my version than the TV one, but I filled in some gaps.

It sounds nice or I wouldn't bother with it, but it certainly could have been better with a proper lossless source, and I don't think one exists or someone's holding out on us. Either way, you can enjoy this one.

As for the show, great performance again, a rare quality version of "Baby Let's Rock" and Billy's guitar solo on "Jesus, I" is truly mind-numbing.
