Goddamit. I meant .flac to .wav
db power didn;t seem to recognize .flac at all.
I know nothing about .flac - so if I'm doing something dumb, feel free to laugh at me.

i could swear it did, anyway. i had some rush songs in flac (lossless compression for the audiophiles) and i think alive worked for me.

Post a couple examples...thx. That way I know the good ones to get
Cool. Yeah, I ust use the Flac program and use the winamp plugin so I was confused. The SHN thing threw me further.
I've thought about pushing all my shortens to Flac. But that'd be a fucking long time to do anyway.

The first was 4-22-90, the last was Spring 1991, although they did Fox in May 1992 that I was not involved in.
Bascially after 4-22-90, you want from fall 1990:
Halloween
Glen Miller Ballroom Boulder
Boulder theatre
Spring 1991
Boulder Theatre
Breckenridge
Gothic Theatre
Some others too. They specify that it was a pre soundboard mix, might have the name 'Mike Grace' on them.

This link is another, and it lists all the shows done this way. I worked on more than half of them.
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=1358
Most shows we weren;t in the band's truck. But we were in some. Boulder theatre, Armstrong Hall, Breckenridge, I remember we had a seperate room in the building.
Only a few of the tapes have an audience 'mix'. The mixing board was a highly modified (all of the mic preamps on the unit were built by this guy) Soundcraft 200B 16 channel unit.
Mostly we used the vocal mics for the house in our mix. We also used a pair of Schoeps omni mics, B&K (now DPA) omni mics , AKG C460B omnis and cardioids, A couple of AKG414 mics, and also some beyer mics, which I think were used primarily for the audience ambience. We mic'd all the instruments with these high quality mics.
I was lucky to be a part of these. And having taped more than 100 shows, I made some really great dead tapes later that year, and then gave up entirely. Unless you can do what we did with Phish, taping is pretty damned boring. And nobody else (worth recording) will let you do what we did. So it was definitely a unique opportunity, and after I did it, I realized how lame it is to stick 2 mics in the air and record a PA system.
Given that, these were still made live to 2 track - so they are flawed. But we were young and excited, and it was all great fun.
Plus, I was 19 years old, and all the chicks thought I was the coolest b/c I was with the band. And it's also cool that Phish became what they became, and that people call these 'some of the highest quality Phish tapes in existence'.
Shortly after we made them, Phish signed with Elektra and the party ended. They released the 10/31/90 show as a pay for download mp3 file. I was disappointed they didn't credit Mike on the recording of that, but I think he sold them about $50k of mic amplifiers about that time, so he didn't care.
