If you'll haven't grabbed this yet you should pick it up. Sound quality is much better than the bootleg MP3 set that has been floating around the web.

This FLAC set from the torrent is a completely different recording and vastly superior.

While I will be keeping this as its my only Radiohead show to date, I don't particularly think the recording is all that good. Maybe I'm just too used to well mixed soundboards. (its amazing to me how good a 1970's GD soundboard can sound) Also, while crowd noise is to be expected, its a little too distracting on this recording IMO. In all though, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for your input deadhead. I completely agree with you. I've been spoiled over the years with my collection of Dead SBD's and extremely well taped MMW shows, to the point where this Radiohead show doesn't come across in a manner that I would refer to as excellent. Just be glad you haven't heard the MP3 based recording I also provided the link to. It's like listening to the show through five wool blankets.

Just FYI I do have two other sources for the show, however to my ears the one I provided the link to is the superior of the three. One of the other two is a bit clearer but it sacrifices much of the body and feeling of the bass that you get from a live show. If you're interested in checking it out hit me up via PM and I'll provide you with a link.

It is a shame though that this is your only Radiohead show to date. When I get around to it I'll upload some that I have saved on to disc from 2001-2007. I have one two night show from Montreal in particular that is fantastic along with some SBD's.

Sweet. I pretty much listened to the show all night last night and it honestly sounded much better when I set the preamp on itunes to -10db. The first time I listened to the show the instruments just sounded like static noise in the background with the vocals and audience coming in pretty clear. Granted, I was just listening to it out of my laptop headphone out >ath ad700 so it not a great setup. Anyways, I look forward to getting more Radiohead shows.

Edit: "were not in this mode were in studio mode" " F*** yeah as you say" F*** yeah is right.
