I don't feel anything about audience recordings in general. Some are quite good, I'm listening to a PINK FLOYD AUD that I would have laughed at anyone if they told me it was audience (actually I think it's a soundboard but the guy is keeping it secret).Originally posted by Dave's PA Rental
ahhhh...I got it...the 'audiophiles' comment ...to tell you the truth Nick, ive heard that from more people than just you. You give yourself WAAAAAYYYY too much credit. I'd actually forgotten that you feel that way about 20 year old audience recordings...
I think you mean 'example' rather than either of the above. Hey man it's all good. I have nothing against anyone at this point, fuck I could care less about LOU. I thought you were referring to me actually, because I said something to the affect that people worry about the audio quality content of older audience recordings that were poorly recorded in the first place. I never advocated converting anything to MP3, I was just wondering why some people were obsessed with having every VH (or whatever band) recording possible in lossless only when they were borderline unlistenable anyways, and it occurred to me that it's like baseball cards. Some people are "completetionists" and want every card they can get their hands on in perfect condition, nothing wrong with that. But the pretentiousness here sometimes can get a bit stale.So when faced with a perfectly good analogy, or similie (I can never tell those two apart)...that paints a perfect picture, you resort to throwing insults at me. Very big of you...
And I couldn't resist with the one-liner, so touche. No harm, no foul. Roth on.
