I just wanted to help spread the word about what a terrific service www.livedownloads.com offers fans of live music. What an easy way to get super high quality recordings of recent & archived shows, from all the best bands in the live jam band and music festival scene. Literally hundreds of artists. Recent shows that I have personally downloaded included the awesome Widespread Panic Show from Albany, NY on April fools day 4-1-2007.
When I was heavily into taping live music, after a tour or a big run of shows somewhere, I would come home & have a mountain of tapes to make that it literally took months, or at least until the next tour, just to try to keep my trades square. But the process, was so time consuming & I just hated having to make tapes for everyone, but with this service, you can have great, high quality soundboard recordings of the best live jamband music, almost as fast as you can drive home from a mid-size road trip. Lately it seems like 2 or 3 days after the show happens, you can download it at amazingly fast speeds, & load your iPod with great sounding MP3 files, or download lossless FLAC files & burn CDs, or encode to other formats to your hearts content.
Anyway, Amazed as I am that people actually are starting to read, this blog, I wanted to let you know of a great way to test drive livedownloads.com & to “help to defend the planet one beat at a time” by supporting Rock The Earth. I recently got a chance to listen to the new release called “Music For The Planet“. 100% of the profits from this release go to Rock The Earth. What a slick compilation of crystal clear, live cuts from the full roster of bands in today’s jam band scene. I guess I got sucked right in with WSP opening the 2 disc set with a blistering version on “From The Cradle”, followed by MOE., Phish, Jack Johnson, Gov’t Mule, Trey Anastasio, Grateful Dead, Zero, Umphrey’s McGee, String Cheese Incident, Dave Matthews Band & many more. Check out the album info below with links & help support a great cause and get a great selection of new live music too. Try it you’ll like it!
