Thank you.  You are a savior.

Notes:

T8: BF mocks his laryngitis plagued voice with this Waites spoof.

T14: BF brought out some old guys in wigs for some shots for the
video for "Bastard". He mentioned that the video will be a mock
reunion of his former heavy metal band.

T16: At the end of the song Ben makes three attempts to launch his
stool at the piano, with the final throw landing and taking out
the piano mike.

It seemed like the show was over after OAD...the house music & lights
came up and many people were leaving but BF came back for an encore.
There is a fade in/out here...only a minute of crowd noise is
missing...no music.

ENJOY!

There are still 9 seeders at DAD for this, if you want the FLAC's, I encoded this in --ape with LAME 3.90.3 .

miik - I appreciate you wanting to help out, but you should respect the fact that right under that bit you copy/pasted he also wrote (and I quote) 'DO NOT ENCODE TO CRAPPY MP3'.

The full lossless version is obtainable via a torrent, as the taper wishes: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=53982

Well, yeah, I know. He said don't encode it to crappy mp3 and I didn't. I encoded it to a high quality VBR.

I know this is an opinion, but if someone encodes something to 128C, I would consider that being a "crappy mp3." I'm not sure exactly what the taper wanted, but if he didn't want it encoded in lossy at all and just used "crappy" mp3 and a generality, then that's his fault for not being clear enough. I take no responsibility for possibly misinterpreting what he said if you view this as me knowing what I did was against his wishes, then you are mistaken.

Edit: Oh, and why didn't he include that in the info file? I didn't purposely omit that portion because it wasn't included in the info file which I posted. I don't understand why he wouldn't want that in the file that would be traded along with the show rather than just on DAD.

If anybody has the other torrent of this, would you mind seeding for a bit?  I'm going at 2kbs and at this rate it'll be done two hours after I leave for the concert tomorrow.

Thanks

EDIT: By other, I mean the one the taper posted.

What do you mean? There are 5 seeders and no one is leeching it.

In the trading game, ALL mp3s are 'crappy' mp3s.

So anything that is lossy is 'crappy'? Then how come half of the tapers don't care whether their show is encoded to a lossy format?

o man i am so confused lol

you could tell ben lee was seriously stoned.

Really? How so? I'm just curious. I don't really care if he was, but sometimes he says some kind of out-there things, so I was wondering how anyone would know.

Then how come half of the tapers don't care whether their show is encoded to a lossy format?

"they give no f*ck - just as long as there's enough for them"

now seriously: so-and-so many people doing something (or nothing) doesn't make a good argument. if two people in the line that might have brought you a certain recording wouldn't 'have cared', you wouldn't want to listen to the outcome. be glad that some people care (that, in fact, goes for most other things, too) and respect their concerns ...

I always respect their wishes. If someone says in their recording "I don't like lossy formats" and I wanted to encode it to lossy for whatever reason other than personal use, I would do it.

Now if the taper has in their recording(or something similar):

***************************************************
***********PLEASE DON'T ENCODE TO MP3***************
***************************************************

Then I wont encode it to lossy for non-personal use.

Fine.

Here's a direct link to the Brooklyn show in it's full lossless glory.
