Portishead - Coliseu do Porto 2008/03/26 *Megaupload links*

By huge popular demand, here's my first megaupload release

Portishead - Coliseu do Porto, Porto, Portugal 2008/03/26

16bit: part1 / part2

This is a FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) release, which means it's on uncompressed 16bit audio (CD-Audio quality), which is superior in fidelity than MP3, whichever bitrate it may have. I would like to ask that I would like to see this show circulate in this format only, in order to mantain it's quality over time. I realize someone will disregard this and spread it around in shitty MP3 just to make a couple of friends on some message board. FLAC is as easy to work with as MP3 and I've done all the work for you uploading these huge files on a reliable and quick free internet server, so there's no excuse to upload this somewhere else converted to a lossy format. If i don't see this being spread around as MP3, I might continue with this free-to-all method of distribution... As for the recording, it's pretty good, check the samples on the post below for general sound quality. It would be much better if the crowd wasn't in mass hysteria, but that's well beyond my control. I re-worked some close crowd noise using EQ'ing and band-stop filters, exclusively for this megaupload release to make it more bearable on some critical parts. Enjoy the show.

P.S.: Please don't send any FLAC related questions to my email..  Go to the FLAC website, download and install FLACfrontend, decode the files to wav, burn to CD-Audio. Otherwise, get winamp and play the FLAC files on your computer. It's as easy as it looks, give it a try.
