Notes:

Thanks Dave for this info file!

This is a new rip from the 4CD silvers of the first 2 CDs. Soundboard source plus audience source to fill the gaps.

Silvers > wav (EAC w/log files) > shn w/seek tables appended (mkwACT).

If anyone wants the audience source (CD 3 & 4) I'll post them. They probably won't be in your CD player too often though.

The audience source of this was recorded by the donor of the mystery drive. He was 12 years old. Although he was never in the trading scene, a few years before I met him he responded to an ad in the Recycler looking for Led Zeppelin tapes.

He passed away on December 31 and at his funeral it was mentioned in his eulogy and remembrances that he got to hear Stairway To Heaven before his released to give you idea the outsize role music and concerts played in his life and of course how much his friend and family was aware of it. 

I also read Jimmy Page referenced this recording in an interview 20 years ago when he was talking about mining old bootlegs for riffs he came up with on the spot during the extended jams.

The audience recording is incomplete and there are so many sources of this recording that I never really gave it more a cursory review just the same but I just wanted to share the story. I never posted anything about his identity or the obituary from the paper lest Nirvana fans or whatever try to track down the listed survivors looking for those tapes. I wouldn't put it past some people. But those tapes are long gone and this drive is all we have, hence my urgency to employ the LOCKSS system and get it all out there.

In spite of what the info files says it appears this file does include the audience version.

Enjoy!

Band Of The Month: OASIS **FINAL 2024-10-10 with Round 10**

Seems like the tour excitement is catching on and a few fans have found this page. I don't have anything specifically rare but might as well put it all up. Don't really wanna clear out any of the Google drives so it has to be Pixeldrain. There is a 5GB daily download limit but I probably only have a few days worth. This collection is by no means comprehensive. Share widely if you wish. To be honest going forward - I don't like posting anything I haven't listened to. I lost track and can't really dedicate my life to Oasis right now so it's up to you to point out any flaws, most importantly CD skips from bad rips or too much diginoise - 2 things that make me trash a recording. Anyone have a complete Manchester Dec 1994? The one on Dime is heavily redacted. Can any of the experts recommend anything particularly exciting? Maybe I will make this a monthly thing with a different band. Or not. Like I said, just not feeling it anymore. RIP Douglas Parenteau aka OasisDou...

back on Friday

Lots of crashing ticket prices but unfortunately I didn't feel like spending 6 hours on the bus to Inglewood and back so I have been taking it easy this week. And finishing transfers. Same old drill, I will write up the info files Friday morning and post, possibly deleting stuff to make room so if you have been dawdling on anything, grab it now because once it's gone, that's it. None of the stuff I was threatening to do in lieu of staying home and working on tapes ever materialized. Too hot, too complacent, THC burnout, etc.  + + + And again. Since I spent $229.60 on a concert ticket last night I will probably skip Herbie tonight and a bunch of other stuff I had on the calendar but it was so worth it. More time to work on transfers and get stuff up and out though.  Same old thing, if I have any new transfers, I will write up the info and post on Friday. A lot of the stuff I listen to like one or 2 songs at a time, throw down the markers, get bored and move on to something e...

Back On Friday

 I guess this means I will be back on Friday with any new transfers I might have done. Which ain't much.   * * * *    I will be back next Friday with at least the uncompleted projects I was trying to get up the other day. I didn't go to a single show in the last week period. I have a bunch on my calendar but other than the Prima Donna show I bought a ticket for, who knows what I will end up hitting. I just got a text from the dearly neglected saying "we should go see Billie Eilish" but I think she was one and done for me at least until she hits the corndog circuit. I might take her down there, find her a ticket and turn her loose inside like I did for the Foo Fighters Santa Barbara show but not spending "real money" on my ticket. I also notice stuff on the blog disappearing beneath the fold - when you click "more posts" at the bottom of the first page, it cuts out a huge chunk of content. Like 6-10 entries. I tried changing the amount of posts per ...
