Ah, Roskilde, Denmark. I've got that on CDr somewhere...

 

[Diablos]

Of COURSE you would
distantmantra has like a library of SP bootlegs!

Well yeah, after trading for 8 years with other fans over the web, you begin to amasse a good number of shows. I think I have 3 or 4 big Case Logic books full of boots, not sure exactly.

Doesn't Eye kick ass with a full band behind it? I was hoping they'd make a version of that a b-side at some point... My favorite performance of Eye is from the Halloween 1998 show when they opened for Kiss.

DUDE. I offered long ago to make you copies of stuff.

 

[Diablos]

Haha, I know. I'm kidding!

 

[Diablos]

Ah, The End is the Beginning is the End rocks too.

Man, so many rarely played songs.

 

[distantmantra]

When I saw SP on 1.6.97 in Seattle at the Key Arena, we snuck into the soundcheck and heard the band messing around with some weird new song that turned out to TEITBITE. There is a recording of this available.

 

[Diablos]

Dammit, you have attended like every significant SP performance, I swear

 

[BigJonsson]

mp4?

ah itunes plays them
cool

This is excellent stuff man, thanks for the link. Kinda makes me sad i never saw them play live.

 

[Malakhov]

Man the sound sucks, you can barely hear BC.

 

[Diablos]

Huh? It sounds excellent. It could be sold.

Besides, you don't want the mic having too much emphasis on Billy's voice. I have a few soundboard bootlegs where Billy's voice is louder than anything else, and it's not good at all... I hate to put him down, but his voice is way too whiny for the mic to be turned up all the way.

 

[Malakhov]

It's like you hear him into the distance. Not very good bootlegs to what I'm used.

 

[Diablos]

Hmm, I think you're just putting down SP in general because you want to. It's excellent quality. And you really shouldn't assume that every SP bootleg is the same. They are probably one of the most bootlegged bands of all time; their bootlegs come from every source possible: audience, soundboard, FM broadcast mix, professional mixing/mastering, etc.

 

[Comfort_Eagle]

The quality is excellent, I dont know what Malakhov is talking about.

 

[Malakhov]

Putting down the SPs? lol I love the SPs, there are just below average bootlegs is all. Kind of disapointing too because the music sounded great but like I said, the vocals are too distant.

Edit: Also wtf, when did I mention all the bootlegs SPs sound like that? I'm talking about the first ones your posted in the thread.

 

[Error Macro]

The quality of this bootleg is excellent. Nice find Diablos.

 

[Diablos]

No problem.

If I had the money, I'd prolly put up a server and work with distantmantra to put up like every SP bootleg he had online. But I would prolly end up paying thousands of dollars a month for that.

 

[miyuru]

Nice stuff!

There was one once, the SP Audio Archive run by Jeroen, some guy over in the Netherlands. After many glorious years, Virgin shut him down.

 

[Diablos]

Ah yes, I remember that site.

Virgin shut him down?

 

[RedDwarf]

Excellent boot, thanks Diablos.

 

[distantmantra]

Ah yes, I remember that site.

Virgin shut him down?

It was a combination of Virgin and his university (he was no longer going to school there, and the bandwidth every month was insane).

 

[Diablos]

np RedDwarf.

Distantmantra: Ha, I bet it was. Do you remember the site "Adored"? I did the logo for them, lol.

This is the Darcy pic I was referring to, guys. Damn shame. She was good enough without plastic surgery.

Dear lord that Michaela Romanini chick below D'Arcy is gonna give me nightmares.

 

[Diablos]

As for this bootleg, I'd give it a 7/10. Everything is perfect BUT Jimmy is not drumming. An instant -3
