bad choice. lol.

Oh well - Guess i'm going to have to miss seeing Hope Sandoval

[sweetcell]

you know, call me strange . . . but i found the sp secret show at da club to be one hell of a performance by them.  great song selections, full power rock, just enough showmanship.  a hell of a lot better than those two dar shows they did after.

like yourself, i realize this isn't the cool thing to say - but i liked that show too.  between the music and the company, i had a great night.  saw SP a while later at the tower theater... ended up walking out before the end of the show, in order to watch the red sox earn themselves a spot at the world series.  t'was a much more entertaining use of my time, IMHO.

I saw this, too. But my shitty soundcard doesn't do 24 bit.

About bootlegs - saw the show from France was up on dime last night.

don't you have a sound editor, like soundforge?  downsample dat sh!t (yes, i know it's changing the bit depth not the sample rate...  )

Believe it or not, I don't. Maybe I should download a copy.

Sorry to all those who I didn't respond to with the password, hope all worked out. I didn't get tickets cuz my em effing pay check hasn't gone through through. 113$ a pair? Uy.

conversion is pretty simple: open the MP3 in SoundForge (or use the Wavewriter in Winamp to write out the WAV file and open that in SF), then poke around until you find the Bit Depth Converter - i forget which menu it's in.  Change from 24 to 16, click "apply"/"ok".  save the resulting file as a WAV, FLAC or MP3.  be warned saving as MP3 may yield an ugly result, since it's source is MP3.

or alternately, get a soundcard that can handle 24 bits

[heather]

missed out on the presales this morning, so i'll try my luck saturday morning....

[azaghal1981]

Does it do flac? It's what the source material is in and I don't generally do live recordings in mp3.

Yup, SF does FLAC.

You might want to try googling "free audio bit depth converter" and see if anything fits the bill. SoundForge will def do it, but it's over-kill. It's like using ProTools to save a WAV as a MP3. Then again, nothing wrong with learning to edit audio files, so go for it if you're looking to learn.

How many of the 930 forum regulars got shut out?  Anyone that we know of?

Me. Been busy this week returning from the left coast, work functions and helping Mama Tee after surgery. Please don't let me miss Grohl at the club AGAIN. Anyone? 

[eltee]

pre- or post-show boardee meet-up?

i agree sounds like the majority will be at this show!  (but let me get a spot (ticket) first!)

i'll be sure to wear my dinosaur jr, hand it over shirt . . . or maybe without a sound; they're both so good it'll be a tough call. 

[wml7]

I missed out on the presale and will try this sat to get a ticket is everyone on the forum going? 

[cannaphilic]

Is there a better shot of getting the tickets through 930, or tickets.com?

[eltee]

930's ticket outlet is tickets.com.
the box office isn't open in the am tomorrow and Shadrach said that there will not be a small amount of tickets held for sale later at the window (see page 1 of this thread).
