You know, I rarely download and listen to these projects.

I think this one is worth making an exception for.

I think you're right.

Very, Very Cool.

I think 2019 was a year off for most of us.

A few years ago, you thought of doing a Bridge School Comp. That would be very cool. Even if it's short, since a lot of the official BS releases are Better Man. Anyway, Thanks again for this one. It's great and I'm :thumbsup:

if you work your magic a Bridge School Comp

This has been in the making for a while now. Just for the record, the remastering done here is nothing like my half-assed work on Brad's 6-disc comp, nor the Soundboard Remasters Series. It coincides with some interesting advances that allowed me to achieve results similar to the original "Live On Two Legs" album, which is pretty much the cornerstone for live PJ. I hope you guys like it!

I hope I don't come across in any way as unappreciative for what you have provided here (and in prior projects), but would you ever consider revisiting the Soundboard Remasters Series project with this new technology? I can't get over how great this compilation sounds. It just explodes out of the speakers/headphones. It's like hearing these tracks for the first time.

Thanks again. Stellar job.

This is good enough that it pisses me off about how the rest of 2000 boots sounds. Fucking amazing.

Because it requires them being in the same space together more than 15-20 times a year.

It is legit the most fun thing a person could do. Crank up their guitar and play with a band. Why do they hate it so much?!

Not as fun if you hate the person you’re playing the music with.

Listened to the first half today. Incredible work. I heard stuff in breakerfall that I’d never noticed before. Thanks!

I downloaded it with the MEGA app but having trouble getting the files to play continuously so I have to manually play each song. Is there a better way to do this?

I'm not sure I'm understanding you totally but if you've downloaded the individual tracks (which you don't need the MEGA app for) you should be able to load them into your preferred music player (iTunes, etc) like any other album.

Make sure you unzip the whole folder into a separate location. Then copy the whole file into your music player of choice. Make sure the music player supports FLAC files.

Try using Flac to Any Pro - it's free or a very cheap app that converts a ton of files

Thanks guys, I’ll give it another try.

If you convert those files to MP3, kittens will die.

I suppose my ears are too old to hear the 8 bit reduction from FLAC to ALAC.

It makes no difference to me what you guys convert it to. I don't buy into that "don't convert this to MP3" stuff. They make it difficult enough these days.
