Alright, there are clearly extensive problems with the lossless uploads. Unfortunately, I don't have the original files for most of them as they died with my external hard drive. Otherwise, fixing them would be a lot easier. I have troubleshooted extensively and I'm still uncertain as to why neither .rar nor zip files upload properly in lossless format (i'm guessing something to do with the size).

Anyway, I will get on this in the future and will do a complete overhaul and hopefully get things straight. It will take a tremendous amount of time so bare with me until then. Updates forthcoming most likely in the new year.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I've had no problem extracting all of these using 7Zip. It honks with corruption error messages, but every single track has been whole and playable. Try using that and see if it makes a difference.

That's weird because I used that program and for example, it says that the 1979-12-27 Clampdown is broken but it still extracts it seemingly without error.

Yep. It'll spit out the big scary error message, but all the files are there completely intact and completely playable. It pops the error on every single MList lossless d/l, but I have never ever had a problem getting all files to extract and all files to play start-to-finish.

Hi

thanks for the tip with 7.zip

the program manages to extract the files even in case of errors.

will check the result when listening and burning.

Bye from france

I tried using Rattie's method on this one, rezipping, and reupping. Tell me if this ones downloads and extracts properly:

A lot of the 82 shows are at the wrong speed. It makes such a huge difference in sound quality when the speed is off.

A lot of all shows are messed up re: speed. The 1980-06-10 soundboard would be awesome if it wasn't performed by the chipmunks. I did a speed correction of the 1979-02-13 Cleveland show because it is so awesome. Maybe the 6/10 show should be next.

Here's the speed-corrected 8/18/82- this is a Top 5 show of this tour. Very low Joe mix. More to come

BTW the 6/18/82 MP3 is corrupted.

Just wondering if anyone could point me to an equivalent site for downloading Pistols and/or Buzzcocks live shows...

Punktorrents
I've never come across any equivalent sites for those two. In fact, i'm sure Lydon would soon have a Pistols one shut down.
