Not in terms of performance quality, but in terms of sound quality.

My first choice right now has gotta be "Handsome Girls". Monkey Man sent me the CDs (bless your heart, man), and I recorded a "best-of" set on my HD using the WMP Lossless format. To add to the sound, I also employ DFX audio enhancement.

I'm listening to it right now, and with no gaps in the track transitions, it sounds like a complete show from one venue (which it isn't).

In any case, the separation and clarity is just astounding, IMHO. It beats Brussels Affair or Definitive Brussels hands down. The performances I picked are all outstanding, so this rates as my all-time favorite.

Is there anything else that comes close to this?

I have Brussels Affair, and that sounds awesome. Would you be willing to post the cd's that you made?

Thanks

Man, I did post a couple of the lossless songs a while back. I'm currently working on getting the 78 videos uploaded.

The problem with the wma lossless format is the file size. I don't have a CD burner, so I upload stuff to YouSendIt one track at a time. Even with a cable connection, it's very slow.

Yeah I'd love to hear the songs you put together

What's the set list of the show you made up?

could it be anything other than brussels?

please.....

Tokyo 1990 is the best sounding boot in my collection.

When it comes to sound quality, Handsome Girls is the best boot I've heard.
Have not heard the Tokyo one yet...

The best in sound quiality for me are

Radio San Diego 93.3
Tokyo 90
and Rocking The House Down In Bremen 94

I would agree with 55Rusty. Nothing compares to Handsome Girls. In some ways, it's almost too good, meaning it could easily pass as a commercial recording minus the swearing of course.

Gorgeous Girls Redux is the SM remake of Handsome Girls and it is better. Timeless Europe would be #1 IMHO.

That's your personal taste. SM usually does nothing else than fiddling around with an equalizer - sometimes to good effect, but sometimes the end result sounds to clinical in my ears.

That's a perfect example. It sounds great on initial listening, but when you compare it with some other sources of his 1973 KBFH material, it lost lots of its natural punch, sounding, well, too clinical.

so many out there. For Live, I think, Royal Sound European Tour 1973, 2LP set. Better than any cd! Original Philadelphia Special, RSGL 2 LP set, better than cd, Perth and Sydney, 1973, Rocks Off, vinyl and CD the same quality, Swinging Pig, Welcome to New York, original TMOQ vinyl Pressing.

For Studio, Trident Mixes K&S 2 LP set, Acetates, 1974 Outtakes, CD...Time Trips CDs, volumes 1 & 2, three is terrible, and 4 is ok.

Completely agree with John's livel selection but would add the Satanic Session & Voodoo Br/Stew boxes for studio.
