Add to this list recordings you have listened to which are high fidelity and recorded well. A lot of the time, these recordings are better than the studio versions in my opinion. I'm particularly fond of The Mountain Goats recordings, found http://www.archive.org/search.php?qu...3B-num_reviews
Most of them are better quality than the original albums. Anything other suggestions by my fellow head-fiers?

So I've been sitting here for half an hour looking @ this site. Already sent out links to friends. Hopefully I'll get a lot of it before the flood of people from HF pick it up when they wake up (silly people not staying up til 4:30 am... silly). Thanks for the heads-up!

Been using archive for about a year, this is the best (oh cr*p) the second best site on the net. The band that consistantly puts up the best recordings is ALO (animal liberation orchestra). This band jams, is funky and best of all, the best song writing you've never heard! I guerentee if you listen to 2-24-07 they will be your new most favorite band. I did listen to the mountain goats but the recording quality is not even close (no disrespect intended). Also good are Karl Denson 5-2-02, and anything by the steve kimock band recorded my Charlie Miller. Charlie uses a matrix of soundboard and on stage mics, this guy has been doing this for many years! check out 1-22-06. By the way Steve Kimock is the most underrated Guitarist IMHO. Keep the requests of good recordings off archive coming.
edit: Sorry, Karl Denson is 5-2-02 so I changed it in the main part of post
Meusickfrek, do you already have a BitTorrent client installed on your computer? If not then you'll want to get one appropriate for your operating system.
Once you have this installed, just click on any .torrent file you are interested in. Now, it depends on which applications you have installed but on Mac OSX, all the steps are pretty much automated after click on the .torrent file to download. If it doesn't or if you're on Windows, the browser may prompt you to save the .torrent file. Easiest may be to just save to your desktop. Then just double click the .torrent file and it should automatically open up in your BitTorrent client that you installed earlier and begin downloading.
Sorry if this is all known to you. I just thought I'd post in case you didn't know.

Archive.org is amazing for live recording. I just downloaded some Gary Jules and the impression I get listening to such an informal recording is amazing. Its like being there.
