"I'm Throwing My Arms Around the Baby Seals in Canada"

[Not Right in the Head]

Because I love y'all, and because I've gotten so much from you, here's a small gift in return: night 4 of Morrissey's Hammerstein residency (Saturday, 10/27/2007). I'm still a n00b at this, so bear with the results, which aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Occasionally you'll hear some fumbling between songs when I shifted the recording device in order to write down the titles. I was on the floor, standing about 20 feet from the stage right stack.

I'm posting 192kbps MP3s of this right now, because even though I have WAV/AIFFs of it, I have no idea how to go about FLACing them and making a torrent out of them. Any pointers would be appreciated. In the meantime, here you go, in two locations, plus a sampler ("I Like You," natch) if you want to want just a taste before downloading the whole shebang.

Zoom H2 (using built-in 90 degree mike) > 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV > Fission (? decibel boost, split tracks) > AIFF > 192kbps MP3

If they do, I know whom to sic on them.

If they do, I know whom to sic on them.

I have been advised by my therapist to avoid any further confrontations with those people and instead begin kissing their ass on a daily basis...

Fat Chance that will happen....

NRITH, thanks so very much. A great night for this Boston boy: the Sox have just won the World Series, again!, and I hop on the boards and come to find this recording from you. My gratitude...

[Buzzetta]

I was going to write the PM back to you but I wanted to thank you publicly. The sound is very good on this recording and on top of that, considering that you were at the show last night, thank you again for the incredible turn around time on this show.

Excellent meeting you and Mrs NRITH last night.


(and for those following anything I ever write, NRITH is NOT the person I refer to in the pizza thread.)

[esheh195]

Thanks so much for posting this. It sounds great!

[Dave]

Thanks Not Right In The Head!

Looking forward to track 15.

[Kochka]

thank you : ) [smilies don't work : ( ]

[celibate]

thanks a lot NRITH

it's very much apreciated, and thanks for the time and energy you spended, so you might not have the chance to enjoy Morrissey's gig at full speed...but I hope you saw other shows where you didn't have to
give 100% attention concerning the recording equipment and security ... etc.

[Grahamchard]

Many thanks for sharing this and amazingly fast turnaround time
Your efforts are apprieciated
Graham

[starless]

Appreciated, thank you!

[Corrissey]

This is why I like you! well, one of the reasons

but that 'sign' of yours...that may take some time to forgive =o)

[knife in the water]

thanks so much for this. first morrissey show, and to have a recording of it is incredible.

[Stitchell]

Thanks for posting!

[Not Right in the Head]

if you are still interested in creating flac files you can try flac frontend.

as to creating a torrrent, see here, courtesy of smithstorrents.co.uk. from my aging memory, i think it's pretty similar for any torrent site.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a try, but it may take a week because I'm about to go out of town. I blew my wad last night trying to get this version up within 24 hours of the show's end, and almost made it.

[Not Right in the Head]

well, it is truly spectacular. your efforts, i mean. i'm assuming the recording is too but i still have another 3.5 hrs of downloading to go. grrr.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm downloading it myself from sendspace right now, and it is butt slow. Dunno why.

Thanks!
