To answer some of your questions....

FLAC is the new standard for LOSS-LESS (cd) quality compression. It's bigger than MP3, but still far smaller and easily downloadble than WAV. There is an FAQ page that you can check out from livedownloads.com, which should answer all of your questions.

Labels - May have posted a previous version of the labels/track listing - looking into it right now, and will have it sorted ASAP - thanks for the notice. I downloaded, and it all seemed fine... Will fix it! The lables are configured for "Neato" labels. Works great!

Live Downloads also has an email contact for support. I encourage all of you to contact them, should you be experiencing any techincal difficulties, which can pop up from time to time.

ddd444:
That's me - I work in the Management Office, and love this site, all of you, and your interest in all things HIP. I really hope we can all stay in close contact, and keep spreading the love. I'm excited to hear feedback on the first release - it was an incredible night, for those of you who weren't there.

We're in the midst of our US Tour, and things are rocking. The Fillmore last night was memorable, and we're looking forward to help St. Helens blow when we blast off in Portland tomorrow night. Seattle will be somewhat of a homecoming for all of us, as we spent many nights there last fall recording the record.

I'm seeing lots of hipbase shirts out there, and hope to see more and more!


It Can't Be San Francisco Every Night!

See ya'll,

That's how i got thru mine...

I downloaded the FLACs but I can't get mine to decode either. All of my files are 1 KB in size (which must be too small) I have checked the "decode through errors" box but that still doesn't help.

Any advice?
Are you using Netscape to download? I was (and was having the same 1kb problem), until I read the following in the LIVEDOWNLOADS FAQ:
Please make sure you are using Internet Explorer 5 or later. You will need to have cookies enabled to use www.livedownloads.com. In Internet Explorer, enable cookies by selecting Tools>Internet Options>Privacy>Edit. Make sure you are not refusing cookies from www.livedownloads.com.
I switched over to IE 6.0 and have had no problems! :thumb: Hope that helps!!

Guys:

Sorry for the inconvenience...

I'll have revised labels for you in a matter of hours, and will attach here (if possible).

I will also post back to the site, so give it a bit, and then re-download.

Apologies for the wasted ink/paper!


thanks,

ddd444

This show is awesome! Definitely the best live hip recording since Live Between Us, and this is better because it's the whole show!

Hopefully the next show they release will be from the current US Tour, as the setlists for those shows are much more varied (as opposed to them releasing another one from the summer festivals where the sets were really similar). Now I'm getting greedy!

Does it really matter? :) With the Loonie over 80 cents, it's like they're giving them away!

Couldn't attach here - too big.

I forgot how badly Gord forgets the lyrics to Makeshift... this has to be one of his biggest messups ever! He forgets the first verse, sings the chorus, sings the first verse instead of the second verse, then forgets it again! Hilarious!

anyone else have trouble making an account with livedownloads? They don't seem to recognize gmail as a valid email address.
