hey guys. i used to download a lot of live shows from this site: http://www.archive.org/details/audio - http://www.archive.org/details/audio just today, i revisited the site and realized that they have a lot of post-rock bands on there. you can download lots of live shows for free (all legally i might add). the download speeds are really good, and they are unofficial bootlegs of very good quality. some of the bands you might know are:
they feature a lot of post-rock bands and jam bands too. check it out! http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php - http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php
you will need an audio converter by the way. most of the shows are in .shn or .flac format. these are only compressed about 50% from the original wav files, so you'd either want to burn them to cd or convert to mp3. i can post codecs for these file formats if anyone is interested. enjoy!

Cool, I already knew about that site. Do you know how uploading
works? I noticed there are no prog bands from the '70s. I
have some shows by Floyd, Tull, Yes, GG, etc. that I would be happy to
upload to the site. Does anyone know if it is legal to do that
for these artists (I know the Allman Brothers don't allow it)?

yeah i would guess that the site has to have the permission of the band to post their concerts. it would be cool to have shows from 70's prog bands though.

| I'm pretty sure Floyd, Yes & GG should all be fine in theory, given that they're up on dimeadozen. I think the archive asks permission individually though, since it's a bit different to normal trading. |
