I'm not so keen on uploading raw files for a number of reasons... a) because the raw files for each show are roughly 20 gigabytes each and my net isn't fantastic speed-wise. B ) because of the rate at which stuff like this is stolen then passed off as somebody else's work (and in some cases, even sold as a bootleg). I will get HD files up, but they will take some time. You'll be happy to know that when I torrent this show, the resolution is set at 960x540 - so a fair improvement from last time

Hi guys, My recording of the Melbourne Sidewave show is now online at YouTube (and in a better resolution compared to the Sydney one). You can see the video here: Intention was to also get the Sydney Soundwave show up this weekend, but this Melbourne one took 4/5 encodes to get right. For some reason, it kept making CASTLE OF GLASS a still picture, rather than the video you see here. I've also whacked on some bonus footage at the end Enjoy! PS. For those asking about the HD files. I'm holding off on releasing those until I buy my MacBook Air to do proper editing on it. I'd love to say I'll go out and buy it this week, but with another band tour coming up (Coheed & Cambria), I've got other expenses to handle

I was actually thinking of putting it there first. I might give that a go now since kat seems to be a little touch-and-go in terms of connectivity. I'm currently busy working on the Melbourne show however, and will want to seed that next, so someone else may need to get this one onto lp-bits. I'm hoping to have Melbourne commence uploading tonight (first to YouTube, then to torrents as per last release).

Exactly right The Melbourne side show is missing a bit of The Catalyst I believe - the battery randomly went from 2 bars to flashing red in the span of minutes so I completely missed changing the battery between songs. I may have also missed a segment of talking from the band at the Sydney side show too - but can't remember for sure and what/when they said it if they did.

Yeah, I certainly won't hold my breath waiting for them. As soon as I get the Mac, this will be my first project Hoping in the interim that I can source some alternate angles/fill-in footage for any of the short sections I missed.

Thanks for adding to the home page guys, and thanks for the credit. No probs man. As for the HD version... it's coming I'm waiting until I get my MacBook Air before doing a proper edit of the show so that I can upload it in a good format without much quality loss from the source files. It'll likely end up being in either 1080p or 720p and potentially in high-frame rate too (since it was recorded at 50fps). I was also hoping we'd see the DSP released between now and then so I can add that as a second audio option. Next on the list will be the Melbourne side show and ending with the Sydney Soundwave show. Glad you enjoyed dude. And glad the torrent has now gone past 2.0 in availability!

I may be able to add more locations in future, but for the time being it will have to be kat only unfortunately. It seems to be working okay for everyone else though? If you get the torrent file error message, download the magnet link that it gives you. That seemed to work for anyone who was having trouble getting the torrent file.

There were two specials - one featuring just interviews (and the occasional live clip), as well as a second one that supposedly showed performances. I caught the interview special while on one of the flights but never got to see the other one.

Awesome! http://kat.ph/linkin-park-live-in-sydney-4...v-t7206931.html Though everyone, please be warned... it seems to be going VERY slow for some reason. Not sure why as my torrent speed is usually fairly good. As for the Channel V highlights... my mate recorded it and is going to supply me with a disc. I haven't actually seen it yet so not sure if it has any of Linkin Park's set on it. I'll try follow it up today and see if he can get it to me this week some time.

Sydney show torrent is now online. I don't know if I'm allowed to say where though? Can anyone confirm/deny?

Thank you It was a tough shoot... some drunk bimbos and their DB boyfriends in front of me kept getting in the way, arguing with each other (which you can hear during the Ballad Medley), taking photos of each other (which I had to film towards the end because of how ridiculous they were being) and generally spoiling the gig. Interesting to note that Mark Fiore came out to greet them before the show... The DVD quality WMV file is much, much better than this YouTube upload. But will hopefully start seeding that tonight so you guys can see for yourselves

Bahahaha! I lost it when I was watching this again last night and that bit came on. First Hayleigh screaming at the camera like a psycho, then Pez putting on the gun show. Pure gold. Oooh. And my 400th post happened to be that video. Talk about quality! Haha

Hey guys, video is up on YouTube for the time being until I get the torrent sorted out. Quite annoying, but YouTube down-rezzed the video, so it's no longer DVD resolution as intended. However, quality is still fairly decent. This will obviously be rectified when you download the torrent file I've kept the video unlisted for the time being, since I feel that you guys deserve to see this first before all the masses Thumbnail doesn't seem to show up for me. Link is

Heads up! I finished combining all of the videos into one unit yesterday afternoon and am currently uploading the finished product to YouTube as we speak. I wanted to get it onto YouTube first before torrenting it since, as soon as it hits torrents, it will be on YouTube and likely without any credit to myself - so just heading off the thieves before it happens Watched the whole show yesterday and it was actually a much better recording than I thought. Sound is pretty clear but would obviously be improved if a DSP finally gets released. In terms of cuts, I didn't spot any cuts to songs... just gaps in between and maybe a bit of talking. Though I did manage to capture the segment that Pez just posted above me. The whole wmv file was about 3.5GB, so it is taking some sweet time to upload. It should be done within the next 5 hours though. I have the video as 'unlisted' so you won't be able to search for it just yet. I wanted to keep it this way for a few days so that I could offer you guys the opportunity to see it first before it's open to public.

Haha thanks mate. I'm doing a test run at the moment with one of the 2010 Silverchair shows I recorded. What does everyone prefer... crossfades between where the videos change or leave everything in there intact, as is? Since I'll be doing these again properly once I get my MacBook Air (with better video software), I'm tempted to just leave everything in its place as is. That way, if there are any gaps, you guys will be able to spot them and it will help us to find suitable alternate footage to drop in to fill the gaps when I do the re-release in a month or so's time.

Thank you I'll go through my videos and get some screen grabs for you. That was really the only pic I took like that... the rest was purely video

Oh absolutely dude. I was going to make sure I preface each release with info. on whether any content was missed as a result of battery exchanges, etc. I'll just get that info. early for you tonight. The 3 shows I recorded in full were: Sydney Soundwave Sydney Sidewave Melbourne Sidewave

Same dude, LOVE that song and LOVE it live. I guess people just weren't as into it because they weren't familiar with it. It barely made a splash on radio/TV airplay here Edited to say that having TWO unfamiliar songs to the general public did put the set at risk of losing some of the audience. It was actually during this point of the set that most people who thought they were then going to get a good spot in front of the Metallica stage started shifting (fools - the D barrier was typically locked off by that point at most of the shows).

In other news, I hope to start working on the first of those three shows this afternoon/weekend. They need to be spliced together as my new camera only allows for 30 minute videos and there was a battery change in each session as well (one that resulted in a loss of some of The Catalyst unfortunately).

My pleasure

Thought you guys might like to see this panoramic shot I took at the Sydney Soundwave: Love the 'ARENA FULL PLEASE MOVE TO SEATS' message on the screens. Was literally amazing to see.

Given that I was attending 7 shows and was taping the ones I was seated at (plus using a tripod for the majority of each recording), it was something that I was willing to do. I didn't spend the entire time looking through a camera screen and I thoroughly enjoyed myself at each show. Does that make me a fool? And as others have said, if everyone adopted that attitude, we wouldn't have any videos other than those that have been pro-shot. Plus, how frequently do the YouTubers record the entire performance? On a good camera too?

I'm hoping this is just a case of 'lost in translation' but I find it pretty offensive to say that someone who tapes a show is a 'fool'. I made a pretty reasonable sacrifice to my concert experience by taping 3 of the 7 Australian shows so that I could share them with people like you.

May be in a minority here, but I've actually really enjoyed LGM on the Australian tour. Which is funny, because I usually skip over the track whenever I'm listening to a DSP. I'm pretty sure Pez (and our other touring buddies) were in agreement on this too.

Count me as one who is disappointed there won't be a Blu-ray release. I have the 1080 rip of the TV broadcast and it looks spectacular. Going to be hard going from that to the DVD quality one - but I'd prefer to have a closer to full set than the severely shortened one that was TV broadcast.
