Considering the fact that this has a guest during the encore, this makes a good follow up to last year's "King's of the Stone Age".

I'm suuuuuuper excited for this one given how good of a show it is!

Holy $!@!. This is the one. Bonzo goes ballistic in ALS (his greatest performance ever in my opinion) and the band is on fire throughout, keen to impress Mick Ralphs. NQ has The Nutrocker, there is a false start in IMTOD, this is the real deal.

All the people who never listened to this show because of a slighty substandard audience recording are gonna learn today. This show makes Houston the night before look like crap!

Can you upload hi res scans when you get yours?

[ListenToThis]

I'll try. I don't have a shipping date yet.

[Sathington Willoughby]

Do we have a release date? How long before these usually hit the 'trading' sites?

Don't get too ahead of yourself. Let the people who paid for it have a listen first.

Yea I get that. Just wondering when us commoners can have a listen.

[ListenToThis]

No worries, just giving you a hard time. I imagine it will be three weeks or so.

-sigh- It's announcements like this one that makes me wish Nutrocker still visited the forum...

[ListenToThis]

whatever happened to Nutrocker....he won't respond to me through other channels...

...Is this a good show? I've read some pretty subpar reviews of it. An interesting comment I've read is that Pagey "drown[ed] out" Mick Ralphs during the encore -- which might also be the case with the soundboard.

I guess I'll have a listen to the AUDs and form a more concrete and personal opinion about the show. I'll always take a SBD when given the opportunity, but I wish the RO rumours had been true and we were getting something from the LA run.

EDIT: Reading a much more in-depth (and favourable) review and listening myself.

Anything to cut into the bootleggers' sales! The faster this hits the 'net, the better.

I was hoping they'd wait until after October.

Is it a tired argument that without bootleggers you would never hear this show in the first place?

You think people are just gonna give these things up out of the goodness of their heart?

[ListenToThis]

You know what, strike my earlier comments. I don't care what people think about bootleggers, good or bad. I'm just looking forward to this new soundboard. I'll stay on topic.

[Melcórë]

That's an assumption -- who knows what might have been the case had these shows not been stolen to begin with. Accepting your premise as likely, however, it still doesn't matter: We don't have any "right" to these recordings, as much as we may want to have them. As the situation stands...yes, I realize that without the bootleggers -- and the people who not only buy the boots, but share them -- we wouldn't get them.

I believe that the world would be a much better place without hoarders and bootleggers. And some people do give us these recordings (as proxies) by the "goodness of their hearts": The people who upload these recordings to trackers and freely distribute them to friends.

That didn't take long

Having now listened to parts of the show, I feel much more enthused about the release. Here's hoping the people who shell out their money for it get their money's worth!
