Thanks to Vienna for granting permission to capture the set. I've only my first show to serve as a point of reference, but I thought both sets were absolutely superb.

Both 16-bit / 44.1 kHz (for Red Book CD) and 24-bit / 176.4 kHz (for DVD-Audio, more than 4x the resolution of CD) available for those interested. Complete uncompressed file set is > 8GB, so I suspect I will upload just the .flac16 unless there is demand for the 24-bit. If you have 24-bit playback capability, I highly recommend the show in this form; the master was captured with some of the finest-sounding solid-state 2-track hardware available anywhere in the world.

I will refrain from uploading the sets in their entirety until granted permission from moderators, but I sincerely hope the evening may be distributed far and wide.

Levels generally low to preserve the full dynamic range of this recording.

The samples sound really nice. Please do let us know when you upload - preferrably to archive.org.

(FYI - As there are no new songs in the set, it should be fine to circulate.)

[bofis]

I'll second Archive.org...my new obsession now that I've discovered how wonderful the VBR streams are. I've been listening to various Vienna shows since yesterday, I can't stop.

Can't wait to hear these shows

Both early and late 16-bit sets available here in a variety of formats:

Enjoy. Huge dynamic range on this one, so don't be shy with volume.

Really sounds stunning. I look forward to future gigs.
