Re: Your last listen

Disc 1 is okay. 2 is a shoebox. But the Boston concert on 3 & 4 could be a soundboard recording. Very clear. I now have several of these box sets and the quality is variable but there is always at least one disc that makes it worthwhile. That's kind of my experience of those sets, usually one r...

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

I think the problem here is getting the PC you have LMS installed on to see the WD drive. Once you can get the PC to see the drive you can copy the path from file manager into music folder on the basic settings page. I got the PC to see My Cloud, eventually.

Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

Re: Your last listen

It's also worth tracking down This Never Ending Now, plus either Strip, or Acoustic Sessions which are essentially the same LP with some live stuff tacked onto the latter one. Likewise The Free Trade Hall Rehearsal, Here Today, Gone Tomorrow and Dreams in Celluloid are good as well. Definitely a ban...
