xx - Deleted. Those tracks are not from this show, likely. loureed.es doesn't list them in the setlist. And a previous uploader also said that he thought
they were from a different show. Quality surely is different and worse. And 'Sister Ray' is from a different recording than the other 2 tracks.
Waveforms and spectrals are not the same. Looks like no info is available about the origins of these tracks. So, I won't post them. It's not allowed.
And I don't like bad quality bonus tracks, anyway. The better recording cuts off at 4 K already.

Taken from bootblogger. No lineage, sorry. TLH fixed SBEs.

The quality of the Berkeley recording is rather limited, too. But sounds better than it looks. Don't think I would give a B+ like it was done on loureed.es,
though.

I originally wanted to go to this show, but I was not able. I read a review of it and spoke with someone who went. Both the 'someone' and
reviewer said that Lou opened with and instrumental jam that seemed like a jazzy version of MMM. The instrumental supposedly lasted
nearly 45minutes and caused a third of those in attendance to walk out. Anyway the person I got this show from said that his friend
(who recorded it) arrived late and missed the instrumental part, which is the part I am mostly interested in. (Along with anything else
Lou does to cause audiences to want to walk out.) I later got a copy of 2 cdrs from which this download appears to originate.
The last 3 tracks are identical to an audience recording from the same tour of Lou's show in Boston.

In addendum I love the review of WLWH on the back cover of the Inevitable Catalogue. Especially considering that WLWH was my
first moment of love for the VU. I would have stood by it then as I do now in consideration of such a review. Same goes for Lulu.

Hello
Is there a way to decode MP3/RAR files without getting a 2" cut between the live tracks ?
Thank you

Unfortunately you have to edit the gaps with an audio editor.

Ah OK & thanks for your reply, do you know an easy kool one & freeware whenever possible ?
