Hello, Thanks gsparco. I see now erik did comment on the silver/torrent thing and was not looking to argue on the topic. I overlooked that statement of his. Sorry about that! Dmusic

Thanks dansmusic. Erik qualified his statement to focus upon those who do not collect silvers.

what is erikbt talking about? How is the Thinman release unnecessary if the show is not on silver disc before they came along and issued it? For those who like to have a silver pressed document of the torrents/downloads or whatever, then it’s entirely necessary (I’m glad the audio wasn’t messed with; now I have a silver copy of this recording, as you also allude to). Good for Thinman getting this masterpiece show to silver! But basically your comment is unnecessary, and not particularly relevant to a site like this one. Speaking of this site, extremely nice review gsparco! Thanks for all the time you devote! D.

Thank you for the compliment. I have no problems with downloading torrents. I just don’t like it when people call me a jerk for wanting silver pressed titles. I think we’re all entitlted to enjoy the music in our chosen format.

Also; even though “Forth Time Around” is a nice treat for the audience, being such a rarity; and being such an excellent song to begin with; the 1999 live version never really worked for me, I gotta say. But that’s just subjective, I know.

Thanks for another another nice review, Gsparaco. I’m most fond of this recording and this performance. The spring shows of 1999 were really something. As usual, Thinman has copied a torrent/recording without making any changes or EQing. In one way, it’s good – as they don’t mess around with the soundquality, in another way – it makes their releases quite unecessary for those of us who’s into the torrent game. (no fights about the torrent/silver thingy, please. I have both the torrent and the silver myself)

Thanks for the review G!
I’m looking forward to picking this one up. I’ve never been a fan of the shoddy Tambourine Man covers but as this set features “God Knows” then I think I’ll have to spring for it.
