Sir GH: I would be very happy, if you can find the time to complile this audio with your good video marerial.( except for the Intro, of course...)

Frank, you are THE MAN! This is incredible! By FAR the best version. Thanks so much for the share. Absolutely, I will sync this to my Earls Court DVD, and we will finally have the definitive version of this show. I have synced audio to vcd/svcd in the past, but never to DVD, so I will have to figure out how to use Ulead to do DVD.

I will still use this copy of Procession, because it is lossless, unlike all the others. Unless someone can provide me with a better-sounding lossless version?

I'll keep you all updated.

Sir GH, if you take the Intro from YV´s 1 SVCD,
it fits well, you won´t hear a difference.

Here are the missing tracks:

I also add them to the topic announce

Bobby, I just don´t have the time, to update my website. I hope, in a few month it will be better.
Anyway, thanks for your interest.

And Tatterdemalion, feel free to upload whatever you want, if its better, we all would be happy.
Thats what we are here for, to share the best possible versions.

Thank you for sharing.
This sounds very interesting.

thank you for this

Ok I compared (well Sir_GH did) and mine isn't better (I thought it was but my PC speakers seems to be crap), and my version is lossy.

So I'll download this, thank you very much.

But svcd has lossy mp2 audio, so I'd rather not sync that to the dvd.

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Tatterd...., in fact you are not so wrong, the spread versions of Earls Court are almost all in the category "Excellent". Even the mp3, taken from this source, sound great.
You must listen very, very closely to HEAR a difference in EC flac and EC mp3, but of cousre there is! a spectrum analysis shows the difference!
The point is:
how good is the sound equipment at home!
I saw and heard huge differences, using a 2/3 speaker system for 19,99 Euro, or a 5.1 system of some hundred euros.
This point wasn´t mentioned at all in the whole flac/quality/mp3 discussion recently.

Ok maybe I should explain how I compared. I played my CDRs on my stereo (the lossy version), while I played your FLACs on my PC speakers and I thought mine was better. Then I sent a song to Sir GH and he compared them and said that your FLACs is better, so I guess my PC speakers are crap.

It sounds very unlikely to be able to tell which tape deck you use, but hey who knows, technology amazes me everyday.
