Well, these should only really be allowed if they are the captures of the original mp3 streams (not from someone recording it to their soundcard and re-converting to mp3, for example).
Anyone know the story behind these mp3s?
But to be honest, I'm not terribly concerned this time. Even the original streams sound terrible — the cymbals are so artifacted (it sounds like one of those shoddy webcasts from the Dream Tour), and the mix is terrible too.
I mean, listen to The Real Snow White. Uhhh... Where's Porl? :roll:
But back to the low-bitrate artifacted sound, I just don't get it. I've heard a lot better-sounding stuff on MySpace lately.
Really disappointing. :smth011

So are these worth getting at all?

The reasons why is such a great live track, why this is not in the set regularly is beyond me.

I have not downloaded the radpidshare linked files here, but I have been downloading the actual mp3 files uploaded to MySpace as you state. Maybe you're better off with my link.
For some reason I can't seem to download anything past Close to Me...yet.
I guarantee you that these are the actual files, 320kb/s mp3s. When I added them to iTunes they came up as "131208-LA-CURE-01-UNDERNEATH THE STARS" and so on for each track.

i ripped the files from myspace i didn't recorded them or whatever i just ripped THE SAME SONGS
Title: Re: The Cure publish their MySpace Secret show at The Troubadour
Post by: AndyTheCureFan on April 22, 2009, 01:01:27
I could have ripped them, but I found a way to download the actual files THEY uploaded, so mine have no loss. They uploaded at 320kb/s so they're good. But even though the last 7 tracks are streaming, I can't seem to download them. I will upload them as soon as I get them.

I don't want to go into details of how I downloaded the files since I'm still missing 7 songs.

Thanks Andy! I should've known you'd figure something out!
What version do you prefer? The circulating one, or this one? Is this complete? Does it have Robert's chatter?

I prefer the one that crowbi_wan recorded and released a couple days after the actual show. this rip is more of a fade in and out and just has the songs. no chatter, which is why i like live boots. as for complete, it is if you're just listening to it on their MySpace player but I have yet found a way to download the remaining 7 tracks or 5 tracks since they fused 4 songs into 2 tracks.

Andy, I can record them onto my Edirol R-09 and up then to you a bit later on. Just real busy at the moment.

Brian, by any means go for it. But if you're busy with the Vegas recording, which I am hoping you are, I would much rather hear that first before worrying about this.

Well, it sounds like the version uploaded by "Cure" at the beginning of this thread is the original streams after all, so perhaps we're getting a bit redundant here. :eek:
By the way, I don't know what you're all using to get this stuff, but this seems like a nice program for capturing MySpace music:

Has anyone tried this? I haven't yet...

-edit- Cure, can you reupload your files please?

here it is :
Main part : 320 kbps http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JI8MTLBS (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JI8MTLBS)
So Cure (user) ran into the same problem as me then. It's no different. I could get the low quality ones too, but for some reason we aren't able to get the last bits. Lame lame lame.

Well the mp3 i've uploaded are grabbed by the same method you did. that's why i've made to "rar" files. one with the 320 kbps mp3 and the last with the 4 missing songs in 96 kbps....
the files uploaded by "cure" are all in 96 kbps

oh neat-o! so i did something right afterall. cool cool. yep, file2hd.com, didn't want to reveal my method until i snagged the last songs, but couldn't.
and it wasn't easy either, stupid proxy ip and ports, i'm new to all that.

well.... in the faq i read about a proxy pb about the access to the high def files....
but, thanks god ;), not if you live (like me) outside the us....
that's why i've dl the 320 kbps files easily....
oh and Andy i found you a little bit too sarcastic.... hey there's no prize to win for being the first "who made the whole set in HQ available"
but if there's one.... well we have to catch the last songs in 320 kbps as soon as possible... So hurry up :-D

lol why would i want to downgrade my OS? ;) while you need to right click or left click, choose "save to" (+probably also manually install a few drivers, click "allow" and/or "yes" to a million unnecessary questions by your OS haha) and so on, all i need to do is simply to click and it's on my HD. so i've already had the whole show on my HD while you were still right/left/middle/top/bottom clicking for track 4 hahaha

sure, it's more expensive than pcs but the good thing is that it lasts (unlike many pcs - at least i have very poor experiences with pcs breaking down, getting all messed up etc.). keyboard sucks? hmm i don't know what you mean. at least the keyboard on my macbook is excellent. a LOT better than an average pc keyboard for sure. it even has a backlight which is really cool and helpful in the dark, it's excellent. anyway, this doesn't have much to do with the troubadour show... oops.

These 320 kbps mp3s are certainly much better than the horrendous streams on MySpace. The mix is still a bit funny (virtually no Porl), but at least it's listenable.
Anyway, I guess this proves what I heard in that MySpace stores better quality versions of their streams online. Although this really makes no sense to me... I mean, what is the purpose of having these except for people to "hack" the site and download them? :smth017
If anything, this seems to just encourage piracy... :roll:
Title: Re: The Cure publish their MySpace Secret show at The Troubadour
