well everyone can see how it sounded for themselves now http://www.eskimofriends.com/forum/s...403#post282403

Assuming the recording is of comparable sound quality to actually being there, which seems doubtful

the show was brilliant!
oh hi, im new here. i met a bunch of people at the show who told me i had to join this forum, so here i am.
Damien and Co. were absolutely amazing as usual.
my favorites from the show were Yoshimi, aww so cute! Then Go, Elephant, Accidental Babies (almost made me cry) Rootless tree, toffee pop, and i was super stoked he did bottom shelf even though it was only a verse
i got to meet damien at the starbucks a few blocks from the venue that afternoon. he was so nice, talked to me for a few minutes

so also got to go to the long beach show on sat. and i have video up from it on my myspace.

Were it an acoustic show there wouldn't have been any amps at all, his guitar would have been DI'd into the PA.

you are correct. The only thing acoustic about this show was tomo... he didn't have a drum set, but rather a djembe + cymbals. I don't think he even had a kick of any kind. he played with his hands and with brushes.

Damien had a full rack of pedals, and pulled out looping, wah stuff, distortion, etc.

His set up was running through smaller amps than normal. But that may have had something to do with the small size of the venue more than anything else.

Thank you AllThatLies!!!

I'm definately surprised. Great quality - Thank's a bunch for making it available for us. Last night I ripped and tagged the show at 256kbs and put it on my ipod - it sounds fantastic.

Between Toffee Pop bridging Elephant and Blower's Daughter, the medley and that awesome performance of Cold Water the show couldn't have had a better ending.

(If anyone is interested in an mp3 version of "AllThatLies" awesome recording I'll put it up somewhere - file size is about 236mb).

[ste_swann]

I would appreciate it...the torrent isn't working well for me...

I guess you missed the part where i specifically asked you NOT to do that in the text file...so again, please do not. all i can do is ask.

i'd expect this sort of thing out of clueless people on livejournal or something, but not here. i guess i gave this board too much credit.

A couple of my friends, and fellow fans, had problems with the .flac files. They're not Audiophiles or as computer savvy as some of us. I wasn't going to make this available until I'd heard from you - just wanted to see if there are other fans with the same problem.

I'm extremley greatful for your fine efforts and I won't put anything up against your will.

I recommend to any Damo fan who is reading this thread, and hasn't downloaded AllThatLies' recording of the show, to do so immediately. It's a beautiful recording of a very good show.

Once again - no offense - and thanks again.

[#Ian#]

Oh yeah, best Damien gig I've seen in about 3 years even with the sound issues.

i just ask that you don't make it available for anyone that wants to dowload it in mp3. for yourself is perfectly fine.

[ste_swann]

Frankly I think that if any of us wants to have it in mp3 there's nothing wrong about it...he would just post it for those of us who would convert it into mp3 anyway, and in this case the download would also be faster. Anyway, even if i don't agree with you, I respect your decision...and I just have to hope that bit torrent is getting faster soon, cause I can't wait to hear it...and thanks for posting anyway, AllThatLies, you did us a great favour

Ste

you just don't understand the difference in quality and how it may screw up the trading pool is all. it's fine if you want mp3s, but you getting them may ultimately make it so someone that doesn't want mp3s gets stuck with them instead of the better version. that's what is trying to be prevented.

[ste_swann]

Ok, but people arent stupid, if you tell them "there's the mp3s" and "there's the flacs" I think they can choose and who wants a gig in flac format can have it anyway, but who wants it converted in mp3s can download it already converted, in a shorter time. They would convert it anyway. And most of the people who use mp3 players/ipod do, I know it's much better with flac files, but if I want to have it on my ipod what can I do? But hey, that's not that big problem anyway, I''ll just have to wait a day or so to be able to hear it finally

Not the venue - rock bands (including The Frames) play there with much bigger amps I think the small amp was because that's all Damien brought with him. I'm pretty sure the piano was rented and everyone else just brought what they could get on the plane.

Anyway, it was still a fantastic show. I still can't do the torrent thing because I have a Mac and I can't remember the instructions people gave me the last time I tried to do this (the Mountain Winery show). Any help would be appreciated.

It's just as easy on a Mac. Here is a link to the software I use "Tomato Torrent 1.5b1"

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14258

1. Click "Download Now"

2. Double Click the "Tomato.dmg" file that should appear on your desk top and install it in your applications.

3. Go to "AllThatLies" page on bt.etree.org by clicking on this link.
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=501796

then click on: "damo2006-11-13.mk4.flac16.torrent"

It should ask you what you want to do. Check "Save to disk."

Locate the "damo2006-11-13.mk4.flac16.torrent" file on your desktop or hard drive. (It probably has a red tomato icon) You can move it anywhere you want to (I suggest you make a "torrent" or "downloads" folder etc. or leave it where it is.

When you're ready to start downloading the show, double click the "damo2006-11-13.mk4.flac16.torrent" file. It should ask you where you want to save it to (again I suggest you save it the same folder as your torrent file, but it doesn't matter) then click "start" and you're on your way.

Depending on your download speed and the download speed of the person you're downloading from (the seeder) it could take you anywhere from a couple of hrs to a few days to download a 600mb file. Just leave the Tomato torrent application open and let it do it's thing. Oh, and always remember to seed - ie leave the torrent file open for as long as you can - so others can download the concert too

Hope this helps - cheers - and enjoy the show.

[GlttrGrrl]

Thanks Max!

It's saying it will take 10 hours! crazy.

[ste_swann]

Well your lucy then...mine is saying it's goingt to take me 5/6/7 days from yesterday evening, it's hard for it to reach even 2 kb/sec!!! I dont klnow why it's going so slow!

[GlttrGrrl]

Okay, now stupid mac question again. How do I open the files? I've downloaded them, but now what? help

[Soleillily]

Hey guys, here is the link to a few photos from the LB Instore...I didn't take that many cos I actually wanted to watch the show...and the ones I did take are so so...

I would have taken some at The El Rey but I didn't know I could take in my camera...hopefully at the Orpheum I'll get some more, better ones.

niiice.. thanks susana! the lisa photo is great and i really like those shots of damien too!

valerie - download winamp and the flac plugin, or flac frontend if you want to convert the files.. it's been discussed a hundred times in the trading forum, if you need more info i'll bet it's in there if you look

you're not getting it again. nobody will tell them "there's the mp3s" and "there's the flacs." what will happen is they'll get a b&p from somebody which will be burnt from mp3s instead of flacs and they'll never even have the option of getting the better version because the other person didn't even know there was a better version b/c they got it from someone who never knew, etc, etc.
