witchdoctor Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 If all you know is the studio version do yourself a favor and check this out- at about 8 minutes in of Shine On You Crazy Diamond you realize how much better the guitar is LIVE, almost like hearing the song for the first time.

wgscott Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I don't know anything about this website, i.e., if it is legit, etc, and I don't like the idea of giving away my credit card info without having some idea if this is a pirate organization or something legit like Spotify. Any insight? Link to comment

Any insight? Yes it is legit, it used to be called Wolfgang's Vault and they have acquired rights to tons of live recordings you won't find anywhere. This is not pirated and has both video and audio recordings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang%27s_Vault Link to comment

witchdoctor Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 The SQ for many of these concerts are off the charts compared to red book or even "hi-rez". Something about the way they do a live recording and then capture it live through the mixing board just injects quality.

ShawnC Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 This site was free 5 years ago, then they added video and started to charge a fee. They do have it all. It reminded me of listening to The King Biscuit Flower Hour back in the day.
