London O2 Arena, 13th October 2008
Full concert wav files
I had to divide the original 2,3 GB wav file into 16 files (1-2 songs in each file), because of Rapidshare upload limit. The second half of the recording is better, or at least louder (I turned up the recording volume a bit). People were singing, talking, shouting and clapping around me, as you will hear... but hey, it was a rock concert, I couldn’t ask everyone to shut up...:)
I don’t have time to create separate files for each song (creating 16 files from the original was more than enough for me), or to convert to FLAC, or to normalize the volume, etc., if anyone wants to play with these, just go ahead. The files are big, because of the settings of the recorder. I recorded the Cardiff gig with different settings, so that file is smaller. If anyone is interested, I will share the Cardiff wav files too.
You know where to find the setlist.

Thanks, this is fantastic! I'm no sound engineer at all, and I hope someone will take care of these files. And the Cardiff show is as much appeciated as this one, so please take your time and upload it, too!
Took a quick listen and I think it has excellent sound. Absolutely worth being worked upon!
Thanks a lot !!!
Really nice ! I'm sure skilled people here would be happy to work on those files !
Before this information is lost forever, can you give us the lineage of your recording ? What recording device and mikes were you using and so on ?
Thanks a lot for that share.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would be very happy to have cardiff as well

Maybe someone can create torrent?
Mate, it'll take me until Sunday just to download it all, then I'll want to nail them all back together, split them into proper tracks. That's before I even think about converting to FLAC & torrenting back for you.
Plus there's the added question of which source I prefer.

After a quick listen this seems superior to the other (MP3) source. What do you think?
OK, regarding the technical details:
I recorded the O2 gig with my Sony PCM-D50 linear recorder, with the built in mics, at 48.00 kHz / 24bit (which was obviously not necessary, but...), from the left of the centre, about 30 metres from the stage. In Carddiff I used 44.10 kHz / 16 bit, I was probably a bit closer to the stage.

OK thanks a lot for that info, which was needed !

Thanks for uploading. Shame about the screamer next to you, but it sounds very good otherwise.
Thank You for upload this;) and Thanks who will split these wav, encoding to FLAC and torrented here;]

Actually, the higher resolutions DO help, my friend.
Even when you downsample them to 44.1/16 from 48/24 or even 96/24, the sound quality still translates (sounds) better than something recorded at 44.1/16 straight. Strange as it sounds, it's true.
Thanks otherwise for uploading your recording! :-)
If you want, I'll rework these as FLAC files and torrent them for you once I get all of them downloaded.

That would be super - I'd certainly appreciate not having to d/l 2.4 gig - my ISP are already going to kick my ass this month!
