A Piece For Assorted Lunatics I was center main floor at #10. Best show ever. Unless it was recorded and is released in 4.0 there is little comparison to being there. 2 years later they were at the Amphitheater. Worst show AND SQ. Complete with superfluous backup singers. ELP made the same "barn" sparkle. The tracks that I listened to sounded like you were there. At the urinal trough. Piss poor fidelity. |
As bands and record companies continue to mine their archives and come up with more ways to monetize the same, it really begs the question, do I need more versions of the same music? I remember buying the remastered 20th anniversary CD issue of Dark Side of the Moon. Didn't sound any different from my original LP. Can't see any reason I would ever purchase another copy of this record, let alone 18 versions of the same. |
@fuzztone - I saw that tour at the Spectrum Theater in Philadelphia, and I still have my 'Eclipse: A Piece For Assorted Lunatics' tour program they gave out.... |
This has something to do with public domain and that if these don't get released by the artist after 50 years or something, the recordings are available for anybody to release, no matter how bad the quality, so I supposed they figure better free bad quality from them than having to pay for bad quality from a pirate/bootlegger. Apparently other artists are doing similar things.... |
@fuzztone I now know why you have that handle. If you were at all of those concerts, it's a wonder you can hear anything at all now. 😉 |
Yes, copyright it and release it before it becomes public domain. I see a lot of public domain classical on Qobuz. This Pink Floyd stuff is terrible quality, very disappointing from a band with such high standards. I'm sure they could have found better bootlegs.
