Feist: 2008-03-01 Brisbane, Australia (mp3_AUD_1 CD)

This is one of the rare cases where I go ahead and upload a lossy show.  Since I only have this audio in the 320 kbps mp3 audio format, I have no choice if I want to share it on its 7th anniversary.

I love this artist's music, songs, and especially voice!  Feist has got the melody and vocals of an angel I think.  And this show is an excellent recording of here performance in Brisbane, Australia at the Laneway Festival concert event in 2008.

LINEAGE:
None given > mp3 @ 320 knps (single file) > me > TLH > WAV (to track and test for SBE's) > Easy Media Creator 2010 Pro (to create tracks for songs) > TLH (to align on sector boundaries) > Easy Media Creator 2010 Pro (to embed metadata/track information and re-encode) > mp3 @ 320 kbps > TLH (to create and verify sfv & md5 files) > you

NOTE:
I don't know if it helps any decoding the files to their native WAV format and then fixing the sector boundary errors (or SBE's) on an mp3 recording?  But since some of you will burn this to CD-R, I did it anyways since it definitely won't hurt and it may solve some pops, clicks, and other audio sound issues SBE's cause when put to disc.

SBE's only effect 44.1 kHz/16 bit audio files (or the CD standard) and if you burn this show to disc it's best to have had these removed.  And I assume even though SBE's cannot be worked on in the mp3 format, since the disc burn ALWAYS decodes the audio to the native WAV format before the disc burn, then having fixed the SBE's should help.

Having been compressed into an mp3, the audio will never be at its peak again and it makes it not even worth trying to EQ unless a lossless copy can be obtained.  The show sounds excellent, and Feist's vocals can be heard perfectly too.  But the audio is not perfect and it sounds like the high frequencies were cut too much.  There is not any distortion or any issues like that.  And I thoroughly enjoy listening to the show myself.  If I didn't like Feist's music so much, I'd never be uploading an mp3 copy of her show.

If anyone has a lossless copy of this show or knows where I can get one, please leave a comment and let me know.  I'd be very grateful!

As I mentioned, this is a shorter than normal performance from Feist because she was just one artist at this yearly concert event in Australia.  It is called the Laneway Festival and is held at different times each year in that country.

After researching the festival just now, I learned a little more information I had wondered about but wasn't sure about.  This festival is something that is in multiple cities in Australia each year.  In fact, Feist played the Laneway Festival in Sydney, Australia tomorrow (seven years ago) and she likely played the other city Laneway Festival concerts too.  Man, the research takes more time than the preparation and uploading of these shows sometimes :-)

I found a treasure trove of Feist shows, all in FLAC, that I don't have at a site called MusicZilla.  But as I go to download the shows, I am suspicious of the free offer messages and questionnaires that the site requires completing before allowing the download.  Have any of you ever used MusicZilla or done one of these types of downloads.  If so, please let me know what your experience was.  I'm not going to risk it until I know it is not a problem.  Here's the link of Feist tagged shows (over 400,000 different artist's shows they have) if you want to see what I am talking about.  And thanks for any information because I'd love to get some of these shows I do not have (in FLAC too)!

Feist: 2005-07-XX & 2011-10-05 Bronx, NY (FLAC_SB/FM/Studio)

After the previous upload of Feist's 2011-10-05 WFUV FM visit and performance in the Bronx, I realized both the 2005 and 2011 visits and live FM broadcasts by Feist fit onto one CD-R with 4 minutes to spare.  So here's the fast version of this upload because I don't have a lot of time today.

(3) NOTE: I've added both shows to the CD project and the streaming audio catured from the internet (tracks 1 - 2 on the 2011 recording and all of the 2005 material) is lossy.  I'm leaving it all in the FLAC format since there is lossless material (tracks 3 - 9) in the 2011 recording too and this is a small (-400 MB.) download anyhow.

If anyone has a copy of either of these two studio performances and visits by Feist (or any others) that were recorded over-the-air, please share them with us or leave a comment.  In this day and age of squashed media formats and people who don't care (much less know the difference) all too often, it is becoming harder and harder to find the quality audio out there.

And just as a reminder; the only lossless audio in this upload are tracks 3 - 9 of the 2011-10-05 recording.  All other ,material used for patching and for primary sources came from the streaming audio rip I did in 44.1 kHz/16 bit WAV and it definitely tested and looked lossy (even though a little confusing too...see log file)

If you plan to burn these recordings to disc, I've added each show into it's own folder.  Just add the tracks from the 2005 folder first and then add the tracks from the 2011 show after that and it comes to right at 76 minutes in length and makes a full CD.

I hope you enjoy the music and these interviews from Feist in 2005 and 2011...

Journey: 1981-07-27 Osaka, Japan (mp3_AUD_2 CD)

I hate having to upload this show as an mp3.  But since the only two copies I've ever found after losing my discs and a hard drive with lossless quality versions of it a number of years back, this is all I have and I'm grateful for it!.  This is a really excellent recording and one I hope and pray I will find again someday soon in it's native (lossless) state again.

This is an incredible show and one that has a totally different setlist in the order in which this show's setlist was played as well as some of the songs in it.  This may have been the only time Journey played "Little Girl" which is one song they'd made for a Japanese movie soundtrack.  Dream After Dream, the Japan released LP of Journey's soundtrack for the movie, is a rare import even today.  Thankfully I got the LP, another half-speed mastered copy of it, as well as a couple of cassette tapes for it back in the 1980's.  And I finally got the official CD version of Dream After Dream at the Austin Record Convention in 1999.  The music is very Journey on the soundtrack, but at the same time, it displays a completely different side of Journey's musical talent too.  "Little Girl", "When The Love Has Gone" (also in this show's setlist), and "Destiny" (I'd love to find a live version of this if it was ever played live) were probably my three favorite songs off of the Dream After Dream LP.

Journey was touring on their new album Escape when this show was performed on 1981-07-27 and this was their first official concert of the Escape tour.  Journey had played the Mountain Aire event in California a month earlier where they showcased a few songs from Escape, their upcoming new release, as well as Jonathan Cain which was the band's newest member.  But the Escape LP was not released until 1981-07-31, or four days after this Osaka show!  So this show is a gem from a historical standpoint as well as an audible excellence standpoint too.  And on the day Journey was playing their first Tokyo show on the Escape tour, which was four days later and on the day the Escape LP was released in America, many of the songs had changed in their setlist of their live shows.  In fact, this Osaka show I'm uploading doesn't even have "Don't Stop Believin'" in it.  I think the whole concert is here.  It's possible a song or two was played prior to when the taper started recording, but I don't think so from comments Steve Perry makes as they start playing "Stone in Love" which is the first track in this recording.

Steve Perry's vocals are astounding in this show as well as each and every member's playing.  There is also two more rarities in this show.  One is the song Jonathan Cain wrote when he was with The Babys which was the band he left to join Journey when Gregg Rolie retired from Journey.  That sonmg is titled "Turn Around Tokyo", and even though Journey played it in a few shows in 1981, it wasn't commonly played in their concerts.  The other rarity is the beginning intro Jonathan Cain and Neal Schon play leading into the song "Too Late".  This is one of my favorite ways Journey opened or transitioned into "Too Late" on a few occasions during 1981.  I know in the 1981-09-05 East Troy, Wisconsin show and a few other shows we have recordings off, they did it this way.  It is definitely a mood setting intro into a song than influenced me in my earlier years to make a change in my own life before it was "too late to make a change".

I love this show, the quality of it, and I'd give just about anything to find a replacement lossless copy of it!  So, if you're reading this and know where I can get a lossless quality copy, please, please let me know in a comment.

There are some split second gaps between tracks that are in all copies of the show as far as I know.  I'm not sure if the taper paused the tape recorder between songs or if the transfer originally done may be the source.  I wonder if the original transfer might have been done using the disc-at-once (DAO) method that puts 2 seconds of silence between tracks and then someone later tried removing the silence but didn't fully do so.  The split second gaps don't ruin the show, and since this is reported as an mp3 copy of the master, I'm confident it is on all copies of the show available.

You're going to enjoy this show if you're a Journey live music lover (even if it is an mp3 version)...

This is an excellent audience recording I hope to find in a lossless format someday.  As everyone should know, I hate lossy mp3 audio and the problems caused by them.  But sometimes, it's all that can be found.  I'm not going to go on about mp3 vs. FLAC or any of that this time because I'm ready to wrap this posting up and post it.  But if you have a lossless version of this show, please let me know.  I know there is one out there and I know I'll eventually come across it.  But the sooner the better and I'd appreciate any help in locating this show in a high quality, lossless format please!

I hope you enjoy the concert!  Until next time...

Feist: 2008-05-24 Amsterdam, The Netherlands (mp3_AUD_2 CD)

Here's another rare situation where I'm uploading a lossy version of a show because it is all I have of it.  This is an excellent-to-superb recording of Feist's concert in Amsterdam a little short of six years ago.  This mp3 version was shared using the variable bitrate (VBR) mp3 method and the songs are all mp3's between 231 kbps and 268 kbps.  At least they're a medium bitrate and not the very lossy 128 kbps or less.  The show, as well as the performance, is excellent sounding.

I've got a number of Feist show, like this one, I hope to find lossless quality versions of some day.  They're out there somewhere, but unfortunately, I didn't really know anything about Feist until around 2006 or 2007.  This girl has the most soulful voice that is so melodic you can feel her words and songs way down inside.

I'm also hoping she has another new release soon.  It's been a little less than three years since she released Metals, so hopefully, help is on the way in the form a new album this year.  She's been a part of a few festivals and even played with Broken Social Scene, a band she periodically joins up with for events and has for many years.  But to date, it seems the more recent shows have all been in Canada and if they were recorded they haven't surfaced anywhere I've seen them yet.

I hope you enjoy the concert!  Until next time...

Feist: 2004-03-03 France (mp3 @ VBR_SB/FM_1 CD)

Everyone should know by now how much I hate mp3 or other lossy codec recordings.  But there are times when that is all you have.  And this is one of those cases.  I'd love to find this show in a lossless format.  So, if you have this concert in a lossless form and don't mind sharing it, please leave a comment and let me know.

This Feist performance was 10 years ago today.  It was recorded live and aired on French FM radio stations and it is called "The Black Sessions".  This is a French program or radio type of deal and I know very little about it.  There are many, many other artists that also did their "The Black Sessions" recordings too.

Only a very limited number of CD's of these "The Black Sessions" recordings are made each time.  Like with many bootleg label releases, except fewer copies are made, they only produce less than 250 to 500 copies of these sessions.  Most of those go out to radio stations to play too.

I like she songs in this early stage of Feist's career as "Feist".  She's been in a few bands starting out as a bass player with hardly any vocal other than backup singing on a few songs (what a waste of talent).  Some of the songs in this session, as session that was done prior to the release of her Let It Die debut album as Feist, are from her days in a band named Broken Social Scene.  Broken Social Scene, still around today, periodically has various artists join and leave.  They aren't leaving because they're unhappy as far as I can tell.  Primarily, and from my understanding, Broken Social Scene is made up of artists that have music careers but join up to make projects.  Feist has joined up with them a few times after starting her own career and plays a show (or song) or two with them.  In fact, and according to her Facebook page, she'll be playing with them again on a Canadian concert event coming up soon.  I hope some people get some good recordings of that show.  But getting back to the point of this paragraph, a few songs in this set are Briken Social Scene songs she plays (with her band of course) and some are songs from her upcoming Let It Die release that followed that year.

I believe Feist is the most talented and awesome female artist of modern music (being between around 2000 through today).  The songs have excellent messages and the music is very well structured with a lot of individual instruments being used by her and other band members she had in 2004.  Her voice is like an angel's voice to me and her way of using it can be humorous, sad, sexy, and very well timed with the music she's singing to.  I love her guitar playing and I believe in this French FM radio broadcast she is likely using her acoustic Martin guitar that has a range and sound that is as intelligent as her own voice is.

Feist's music is something I'm glad I found about 8 years ago.  And if I can ever upgrade the mp3 versions I have to lossless versions that exist of her earlier shows like this one, I'll be uploading a lot more Feist because I love her style, content, playing, and voice.

I hope you enjoy this squashed down mp3 version of this show...

Triumph: 1978-08-26 Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada (FLAC_SB_1 CD)

PREFACE:  Against my better judgement, I'm also including an mp3 version of this show in a separate link.  As much as I am anti-mp3 (or lossy) when it comes to my music (actually everything), I have to admit that this mp3 version that I've decided to add and have had for a long, long time is a better sounding source recording.  I'm not sure if someone took the lossless FLAC source and EQ'ed it to death or if it was always the lesser quality sounding recording?  It sounds great too, but the mp3 version does sound better.  Now, I just need to find a FLAC version of the mp3 source recording so I can trash the mp3 version and remove it for good!

This is a great recording from a 1978 Canada Jam Triumph concert.  The recording starts off with a little tape warble but soon gets better.  The recording has been called an audience and a soundboard recording.  I personally believe it sounds like a soundboard.  The sound is a little flat but it very clean and sounds great still.  I'm not sure if it may have been EQ'ed this way or if it may just have been the way the recording came out?  Regardless, it is very enjoyable listening.

I included a second set of low resolution artwork I found because the date on the artwork that came with this show is wrong.  The wrong dated artwork has June 28th, 1978 (06/28/78) instead of August 26th, 1978 (08/26/78) which is correct.  The lower resolution artwork has the right date.  And I did verify that Triumph played on the correct date at the 1978 Canada Jam too.

It sort of cracks me up what Gil Moore says at the ending of the song "The Blinding Light Show".  He's talking about different music styles and he mentions disco and how the band will never play one note of that music because "Disco...(waits for the crowd to answer) sucks"!  I'd forgotten about that old saying from when I was a kid.  The band almost sounds like another Canadian band, Rush, as they play the following song "Let Me Get Next To You".

I like that Rik Emmett's guitar is very "up front" in this show and very clean sounding.  That's one of the giveaways to me that this is a soundboard recording.  Also, the fact you don't hear the crowd between songs other than very, very lightly is another soundboard indicator.  There were over 10,000 people in attendance at this Canada Jam and it was the largest concert ever with the attendance records at that time (1978) in Canada.  The producer for Canada Jam was also responsible for producing California Jam I and California Jam II (referred to as Cal Jam) in this same time period according to some research I did into the dates.  If this is an audience recording, well, then that jumps it up to an excellent/superb recording.  The show gets better and better audio-wise as the show goes on too.

So take a trip back to 1978 up in Canada and I hope you enjoy the ride...

Feist: 2004-11-11 Berlin, Germany (mp3 @ 320 kbps_SB/FM_1 CD)

As much as I hate mp3 files, when it's all I can find then I have to use them.  This is one of those rare exceptions I upload a lossy formatted show.  It is an excellent sounding and performed show and is an early look into Feist's career as "Feist" (not the parts she had in other people's bands).

This show, from Berlin, Germany, was on a Monday 8 years ago today.  I love this show and some of the tracks you do not find in other shows (or on officially released CDs either).  It has great sound and was broadcast over FM radio in Germany.

As I was locating the folder and files for this show and looking on the web for any possible artwork or photos of it, I cam across this 320 kbps version of the show.  My earlier version was a 256 kbps mp3 version so I downloaded and used the higher bitrate version (a little less lossy).  However, track 8, "Foolproof", wasn't in that download.  So I copied the track from my 256 kbps version of the show and added it to make the show complete.

If you like Feist, then you will without a doubt love this show.

If anyone has a lossless version of this show, please, please, please let me know.   A lot of my earlier Feist recordings are mp3 formatted because that was all I could find at the time.  But I am always looking for upgrades to anything I have and would greatly appreciate it!  You could share it, we could work out a trade, etc.  Just leave a comment in the comment field and I would happoily contact you as soon as I see it.

Enjoy the show...

Feist: 2007-07-19 Manchester, U.K. (mp3 @ 256k_AUD_1 CD)

Here's one of those rare exceptions I mention in my blog's opening where I add a lossy format (mp3 in this case) show.  The sole reason for doing this is; I don't have a lossless version!  The lineage from the original show recorder's notes shows this was in a lossles format originally (WAV files),  If anyone seeing this does have a lossless quality copy, please contact me.  I'd love to get a copy.

This artist, Feist, has become one of my three favorite artists in recent years.  It was around 2006 when I first saw and heard of her.  I saw her on an HD music channel, on a program called "Beautiful Noise", and liked her.  But it was close to a year later, as I was cleaning up my old satellite DVR, when I realized just how great she was.  I had watched the concert and interview with her before, but as I debated whether or not to delete the show from the DVR or put it to DVD, I watched it again.  Man, am I glad I did.  I instantly knew I had to put this girl to DVD.  And since then, I've become a huge fan of her music.

If you're interested in seeing the program I recorded of her, as well as a few appearances and performances on TV (all but one were HD broadcasts), click on the Feist label at the bottom of this posting and it'll pull up the videos and audio shows of her that I've added so far (and there are many others).  Just download the DVD (created on my stand alone DVD burner hooked to the DVR) titled "Feist: Compilation DVD 1".  It's the very first program on the disc.

When I got this current 2007-07-19 show, it was two 256 kbps mp3 audio files.  I just got finished joining the two clips, tracking the songs, naming everything, adding fade in/outs, and putting it back to the hard drive.  So, after the edits, I also found fan photographs from the show and added them to the show's zipped file too.  The photographs use to be posted on Feist's old website.  I'm glad I grabbed them when I did.

Once I make this posting, I'm going to burn the show to CD.  I've listened to it through PCs before, but not wanting to just add two long tracks and not be able to navigate through the songs on a CD, I never have had it on CD to jam out with.

So thank God it was 5 years ago today that she played this show.  Otherwise, I might have waited another couple of years until I finally got around to doing this :-)

There are some funny moments in this concert.  One that stuck out as I was listening and editing the show was a comment Feist made.  It was very hot at the concert and Feist commented on it.  She then said, "The great things is you guys can all go home tonight and listen to this show again since this guy up front is making a bootleg".  The crowd then cheers :-)  It wound up being he wasn't making a bootleg and he had an umbrella she thought was a microphone.  But someone up front was videotaping the show (need to find this one) and she clearly could see that.  It doesn't sound like she cared one way or the other.  You got to love that!  And somebody in the crowd was making and audio recording (we can all thank them for that) obviously too.
