I am also very curious to check them out. I may follow the "tweets" or whatever they're called of people posting from the venue, as I will likely be sitting around at home tonight

Me too. Everyone knows I'm the least tech-savvy person around here, so question. What does that FLAC upgrade give me? I think this allows me to burn a CD without the pauses between songs, right?

It's more of a quality issue. FLAC is a lossless format. MP3s are compressed to reduce file size. You've probably heard the effects of a poorly compressed MP3 by hearing a little metallic warble over the music.Either would allow you to burn the CD without pauses, that's more a question of the burning software you use -- and if the MP3 is not "over compressed" you might not notice anything unless you're listening on a really nice sound system.

 

[Tiger Fan]

unless you're a huge sound snob, FLAC isn't worth it IMO

Especially if the MP3 is not super compressed. I certainly can't tell that much of a difference.

According to that NY Times article, they are practicing like mad, trying to get back to the more complex-style jams of the mid-90s. There's one song that was dropped from the Phish 2.0 rotation, according to legend, that was just too complex for them to get right without loads of practice.I give you tonight's opener:Fluffhead

This has been confirmed. I kinda wish I was 20 year old again. I'd get on a plane right now and shake some hippies down for tickets to the next couple shows.

Can you point me in the right direction? When I've tried to convert mp3's to an audio disc in the past, there was a gap between songs. I was told I needed the flac format to prevent that in this thread.

"Fluffhead," "Divided Sky," "Stash," and "Bowie" is probably an hour right there.

I'm tempted to start this torrent, but what is the quality like? Maybe it's better to wait until the SB MP3s are released tomorrow. Then again it could be a pain to d/l those as well, I'm sure it's going to bring the internet to its knees.

I dunno for certain, but my sense is that there should be a setting on the burning program you're using that can either add this gap or not. I don't think the format of the music matters.I know I've tinkered with such a setting in the past, and was able to remove the gap, but I can't tell you much more than that.

It's still DL'ing so it's a bit strange because it's sort of jumping around a bit when I play it. But, the quality is very good, from the little of heard it sounds like a 10/10 audience recording

lol I said F it, am downloading the torrent now -- at about 50% -- looks to be same one you linked. It's super fast, and it is from someone in the taping section: http://phishthoughts.com/nospoilers/ETA: Quality is great, as is the band. People clearly losing their #### seeing this live, unreals.

Can't you go to one or two shows and take them in moderation? Mabye pot brownies or something? If a west coast tour happens I'm already plotting ways I can get my wifey to agree to drop some E or something silly like that.

I spent a lot of years on the road. I know this hard to believe but I'm stone cold sober these days. I saw them a few times sober and it was weird. I just have a feeling that they are hitting like they were 15 years ago and I would go off the deep end. I'd be slinging again and eating large quantities of drugs. Bad combo for me. I'm lucky to be alive and healthy.

Was also raided by the DEA and ATF in the late 90's so I'm lucky to be on the streets as well. My life now is pretty kick ### so I have to always look at the big picture and play things out in my head.
