andy - THANK YOU

Z said...

I recorded the webcast.
It not cut yet so its just a long thing....would it work?

andythecurefan said...

@Z,
Pussycat was telling me about that. Yes, yes it would! God bless your soul if you could send that to me.

my email address is andythecurefan@gmail.com and you can upload it to Sendspace.com (if it is 300mb or less) or you can upload to Megaupload.com (if it is over 300mb)

Z said...

Hmm...well..do you have an MSN account?
I don't know if I can do what your talking about...

andythecurefan said...

@Z,
if you could send that to me, i would gladly merge the file and have this ready soon!

andythecurefan said...

@Z,
I DO have one. Contact me at mendizabal46@hotmail.com

Did you want to use MSN Messenger?

Z said...

I'll email you. :)

andythecurefan said...

@Z,
you're the best "astrangeday82"!!!

Z said...

Hehehe! I know! :P

Z said...

Trying to send the email now...

Z said...

Ha ha! Its still sending! :P

andythecurefan said...

you're sending the whole file? I doubt you could just attach it to an email like that. it sounds like it should be huge if it's the whole show.

andythecurefan said...

I see you use AIM, could you perhaps sign into AIM and IM me and click the "Send File" button or something similar?

Z said...

Umm...I haven't downloaded the AIM thing yet. Sorry!
The email should work...

Z said...

I'm on MSN now..want to sent it though there?

andythecurefan said...

@Z,
For a free Windows Live Hotmail account, the maximum size for an
attachment is 10 MB. For a paid Windows Live Hotmail account, the
maximum size for an attachment is 20 MB.

If you recorded the entire show, chances are the file is larger than 20 MB.

Z said...

I've sent long files on MSN before..it just takes a while. :P

andythecurefan said...

Yes! go ahead and add me on MSN Messenger as I think that would be better.

Z said...

I added you...did you add me?

andythecurefan said...

Still installing. LOL. sorry. be there in a second.

Z said...

K. ;)

Aaron said...

if you have msn id love to have yours andy!

andythecurefan said...

I posted it above Aaron,
mendizabal46@hotmail.com but I am hardly ever on. I'm more of a AIM via Meebo person.

Z said...

Its almost done!

Craig said...

Z: Had to delete your last comment. We do not support people who bootleg shows and sell them.

Z said...

OK. ;) Its fine. :)

RH factor said...

kick azz. Thank you Andy

Quote My Ghost said...

Oooh, I hate to pile on since Craig has already laid the hammer down; but please don't try to charge people for bootlegs. That's one of the reasons why this community, along with many others, works so well. It's people coming together to share music.

Quote My Ghost said...

Yes, thanks Andy. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. What an endeavor!

Z said...

I'm not selling it!

I hope you got the recording!
:)

andythecurefan said...

thanks Zoe, I got the recording. Just haven't gotten the chance to hear it. I am at work now (late, ha, but my own fault.) I will check it out when I get home.

Z said...

Great!
:)

andythecurefan said...

that's the thing with you people. you tapers, every last one of you. sure, you do us all the favor of taping the show and credit is due to ALL of YOU. but the part you have wrong, is thinking the content is YOURS. it's not, it's The Cure's. I'll be damned if someone who doesn't represent the label/the band tell me that I'm stealing. Are you telling me that I'm stealing from a thief?

andythecurefan said...

i'm just gonna stop. this is quickly just going to turn into insult after insult. i really don't see the big deal. and if it makes CoF and Craig look better to you, I won't even share it here. But the people that know me know they can get it from me.

andythecurefan said...

taper = anyone who records a show. any method. video, audio, webrip.

Inflatable said...

Andy You Rock!!!!!

Craig said...

Crowbi_Wan: Sorry I had to edit this, but I've been asked to remove all mention of someone in this thread.

From crowbi_wan:
Andy, I recorded the webcast and will GLADLY lend it to your project. Mine is far from perfect as it contains some diginoise at the start and a few blips and bleeps here and there. However, I'm not one to give the middle finger to the fans. Been there done that. i used to put restrictions on my recordings which were never kept. Long story short, i got tired of losing sleep over who was doing what with my shit. Best to just put it out for the fans. THAT right there is what it's about. Robert doesn't care about fan recorded shows as long as no one is profiting from it. The label might, but fuck the suits.

Once you put something out there you lose control of it. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. There's absolutely no reason to be going off like you are here. If you want to keep a recording private, do like some others do and only trade to those you trust or just sleep with your tapes under your pillow.

@ Andy - Have you asked the guy that seeded his source on dime if he would lend it to this project? I know he said no sharing on fan boards or something to that effect. Might not hurt to see where his stance is here. If he says no, my source might have to do. I'll get it split up tonight and sent out to you asap.

Peace everyone. It's just music. Music is meant to be heard.

Aaron said...

oh well i use it a fair bit, but i will probably add you anyway :P

HideawaY said...

hey Andythecurefan, i would love to help or have a copy

I can't wait to see it!

Thanks so much!
You get a big cure hug! LOL

HideawaY said...

Hey Aaron! how do i know you?

Somehow i know weve traded?

For everyone!

Craig said...

Thanks, Rob. But the link doesn't work?

Aaron said...

your ftp?
i used to use a music ftp... what was the name.?

andythecurefan said...

i am DONE! uploading shortly. but I have decided against sharing on Chain of Flowers since some people were bothered at my attempt to revive this project.

for anyone that knows how to use Google and find Demonoid.com or ThePirateBay, you will find it there.

for the people that don't do torrents, I'm hoping my friend Mad Bob will post links I give him. that is all.

Pussycat said...

Thanks Andy! Look forward to viewing it! Can't wait to see your final product. :)

Smooches,
Pussycat

Z said...

Yay! I can't wait to see it!
AGAIN! :P

Thank you sooooo much! :)

andythecurefan said...

I posted it on other Cure sites. Look around people. now im going to sleep. 6:19am. i get no sleep when i do such things for you people. i swear. :P

andythecurefan said...

you're welcome guys. sorry if it's not perfect, i tried my best as you can tell in my torrent descriptions. later i will make a smaller sized one, for now this is it.

Carlos said...

really andy, i get your frustration and many many thanks :) you're great

deadboycraved said...

fucking good job andy

Xuan said...

You Rock as always Andy. Now seed people!

Aaron said...

At the request of Andy i have set up a youtube

http://www.youtube.com/user/curecoachella

i will upload it all there when i get the file =]

HappyEverAfterGirl said...

Thanks Andy!

dj scribbles said...

and this is why andy is one of our cure heroes :)

Aaron said...

its going up now, UTS is ready to view =]

lovecat44 said...

Andy, do you have that thing (continuous one) from Zoe?

btw thanks for your work!

andythecurefan said...

@Aaron, thanks!

@lovecat,
i do have the file from Zoe. it's soundboard quality of Coachella. I will clip that later and post.

caterpillargirl2 said...

Oh wow! Thank you Andy. I'll get seeding when I get home tonight.

SAWEET!

Aaron said...

no problems andy, will get it done tommorow probably! =]

Z said...

I wish I could just download it now! Aww! :(

Z said...

Z said...

If anyone wants the recording and has an MSN account I could send it to you.....

Pussycat said...

Please everyone, after downloading please SEED! When I left my house this morning there were a ton of people who were trying to download it but only 4 people (including myself) that were seeding. :)

Smooches,
Pussycat

Morris said...

...Also known as THE BIG HAND Concert : )

rob said...

Well, downloaded the file and burned on to a DVD, BUT no sound .... video fine on the TV, but I reiterate no sound. Anyone else have this problem?

andythecurefan said...

@rob,
It could be that your DVD authoring software requires you to install the DivX codec.

lovecat44 said...

All this is very good work, thanks to Andy again, but could some good soul get the torrent for those who can't use torrents, and split it if this is too big, and put on megaupload? Megaupload is good 'cos it allows files up to 1 GB to upload. That would be really great, maybe someone will come up with this.. thank you very much.

btw - how many MB is Coachella video? And it's not the late highlights, it's the entire show, right? With Jumping.. /Grinding Halt, everything from beginning to end, as it was webcasted?

andythecurefan said...

@lovecat,
your "good soul" is here. I have been asked by others also. I am gonna upload multiple RARs split at 700 mb each and you will have to download all of them before you can extract the file.

moloch said...

@ andythecurefan

can you please upload the webcast stream directly. i will make a dvd of this show,but you have the stream reencodet to avi and for dvd i must this reencoding to mpg. 2 reencodes are not good for the quality.

andythecurefan said...

@moloch,
i didn't record the stream, but the person who did, recorded it into split mpg files. they didn't have audio though, so i had to add an audio track to it using VirtualDub and then I rendered them to AVI. then I joined all the clips. I then edited "To Wish Impossible Things" and had it start right away since Coachella decided to broadcast people on the campgrounds for a short while.

I can give you the mpgs, but it seems you would have to do the whole process all over again. I already burned this to a DVD using ConvertXtoDVD 3 from the AVI.

moloch said...

Ok,thanks. Then i will take your uploaded version and convert it to mpg with ProCoder 3.

greetings

rob said...

I have tried doing the manual codec setting with my Cheetah DVD software, still no sound.

Does the file require an "odd-ball" audio codec? Fustrating ....

swifty said...

I don't have the foggiest what Andy & Co are chatting about, but I do know how to install my Dream 4:13 cd into my cd player and crank the volume ear-bleedingly fucking loud! Woooo yeah !!

perfect.murder said...

Same here!!

andythecurefan said...

for those who don't do torrents,

i am splitting the AVI into 3 RAR archives. download all 3 before extracting with WinRAR or another RAR opening software.

Here is part 1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PHGFBAZ2

Also, for those who want to view the complete show on YouTube, Aaron has created a YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/curecoachella

andythecurefan said...

Part 2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=T3ENYQG4

andythecurefan said...

Part 3 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=01IOWUNZ

by the way, Part 1 is 700mb, Part 2 is 700mb, and Part 3 is 253mb

andythecurefan said...

@Rob,
download and install the Free DivX codec at http://www.divx.com/en/products/software/windows/divx and when asked, just install the codec. go ahead and try afterward.

Pussycat said...

@moloch & rob

if you're still having issues let me know. i was able to convert the file to mpg with no sound issues. i'd be happy to upload it and share...

smooches,
pussycat

gabe said...

here is the Coachella webcast audio as given to me by Zoe - http://www.sendspace.com/file/je5dwm

this is Andy by the way, just logged into my friend's computer.

enjoy guys. and thanks to Zoe for the mp3. I didn't split the mp3 because it would be transcoding. if you want to do it for your personal use then go for it. keep in mind that originally on the Coachella webcast, they showed "To Wish Impossible Things", then cut it off after a good 20 seconds, showed footage from the crowd earlier in the day, then reshowed "To Wish Impossible Things". this is reflected in the audio.

andythecurefan said...

looks like i got pretty much everything covered. enjoy everyone. thanks Aaron, Zoe, Ariel, and anyone else who contributed to this project. :D

and thanks Craig for posting it.

Tired said...

Thanks Andy and Zoe..........great work. Does anyone have a program (or recommend one) that can take one long MP3 and splice it into individual songs?
Thanks.

andythecurefan said...

@Tired,
you can do that with Audacity as long as you have the lame_enc.dll file when you choose "File > Export Selection to mp3" but I didn't do it since mp3 spliced to mp3 is more lossy than the original mp3. too bad we don't have wav of it.

Z said...

Your welcome everyone. :)
I'm glad I could help! ♥

rob said...

I completely struck out on all attempts to get the vid/aud to work on DVD ... I can still watch it on my computer, and will likely just use an HDMI plug to feed the computer into the TV.

I downloaded the DivX software, as per Andy's advice, but of course the damn thing would not activate the "burning function" ... only playback. Frustrating, to say the least. I have never had this problem before with downloaded vids.

Yah, pussycat is upload the mpg file, I'd appreciate it!

RS (but not THE RS)

Quote My Ghost said...

I hate to sound lame, but how do watch the files? I downloaded all 3rar files, but I have no idea what to do with them.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

az said...

Im home from cricket, the rest of the show going up now.

(Aaron by the way)

Craig said...

Ghost: The RAR files can't be watched as they are. You have a 3 part file that needs to be put back together, using a program like WinRAR. After you do that, you will have the original avi file, and can watch that.

Carlos said...

can the RAR files be burned into DVD??

az said...

RAR folders are just compressing the data, you could put them on dvd but not watch them in any way.

an update : youtube is almost done, BDC going up, then the historic finale! =]

az said...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjAZxalb30A

The video alot of you wanted, the finale!

andythecurefan said...

@az,
is that you Aaron?

@Carlos & Ghost,
since we're already on the path of downloading pirated material, go ahead and download WinRAR and install it. then open 1 of the RARs and extract the contents.

gloomyremy said...

be careful
i think the mp3 file is not a stereo file, just mono!

Aaron said...

Yes Az was me, it was my curecoachella gmail i was using to post.

gloomyremy said...

here is the audio mp3 stereo 320 kbps

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=26F0SCQH

andythecurefan said...

@gloomyremy,
so all you did was change a mono mp3 and transcode it to 320kb/s?

gloomyremy said...

i have extracted the audio from the video, with 2 channels and bitrate of 320 kbps

andythecurefan said...

@Gloomy, funny thing is, the audio I previously posted was the audio I used for the video.

lovecat44 said...

I didn't have Internet access in recent days so I'm doing this now -

a big THANKYOU to Andy for splitting the webcast in 3 files & putting this up on megaupload. This is so nice of you - thanks for your effort and time.

You are truly amazing and helpful person!

I wouldn't have been able to see this otherwise
*getting it..*

And THANKYOU to Zoe for her file.

To Craig too.

Thanks to all that make this possible.

Kisses from Poland

Z said...

Your welcome. ;)
Cure kiss back! :)♥♥

Quote My Ghost said...

Thanks, Andy and Craig!

Stephen said...

Hello,
This video file is "AVI".
DVD players will not play "AVI", so this webcast can not be played on a DVD player.
Can you please tell us exactly how to convert it without any quality loss into a format appropriate for burning to DVD?
Thank-You

Pussycat said...

I was able to convert the .avi file to .mpg using AVS video converter (it is not free). I'd be happy to share the file but it is now too big for me to upload to rapidshare without splitting it. I don't know how to split the file like Andy did so if someone could help me I'd be more than happy to upload it.

Smooches,
Pussycat

andythecurefan said...

email has been sent to lovecat44 and Pussycat

Stephen said...

It seems A LOT of people can NOT put to DVD Andy's great work, so I am sure it would be very much appreciated by many of us if someone could please kindly convert Andy's file into a DVD format, that would be wonderful for many of us!
---Can this conversion be done without any quality loss from Andy's original AVI file?

Pussycat said...

hi all,

andy has given me the info that i need to split the .mpg file. i am uploading 6 files now. i will let you know once i have the links available.

smooches,
pussycat

Stephen said...
This post has been removed by the author.
Stephen said...

Thanks, can you please answer, when you converted Andy's original AVI file to MPEG file did the MPEG file lose quality compared to the original AVI file?

Pussycat said...

@Stephen,
Nope, I didn't notice any diminished quality once I converted the file. :)

Smooches,
Pussycat

Stephen said...

Is there a technical answer to this?
If you convert AVI to MPEG are there particular settings you have to use to make sure no quality loss etc?

andythecurefan said...

@Stephen,
im not too sure. i believe moloch may have the answer to that one. hopefully he pops in to this thread again.

i don't see the problem in burning AVI to DVD. I do it all the time. I used to use Nero but now use ConvertXtoDVD 3.

Pussycat said...

I was also able to burn the .avi file to DVD without a problem. I use Nero 8 to make DVDs. The program automatically converts the file to DVD format upon authorizing/burning.

Here is the .mpg files as promised. I've never used megaupload so hopefully this works.

Carlos said...

thanks for answering, but i already have WinRar. my question is, in what format does the file comes after i extract it with WinRar and what do i have to do to burn it into DVD?? if anyone is kind enough to answer again please?:)

Stephen said...

Thank-You-Very-Much for the MPEG's, and thanks to all again!

andythecurefan said...

Too many questions on how to burn it to DVD. When I get the chance I will upload DVD files in NTSC and PAL.

Stephen said...

So is there any way to find out if Pussycat's AVI to MPEG conversion was done without any quality loss?

andythecurefan said...

@Stephen,
the quality isn't even that good to begin with. the recording has many visual lag and jumps and is just the way it was recorded.

Stephen said...

Hi Andy,
Yes I have seen the webcast, but I am just wondering if the AVI to MPEG conversion lost any quality?, because of course it's best to preserve as much quality as possible!

Stephen said...

Hi Pussycat,
Did you realise all your MPEG's are a little bit too big to fit to DVD?

andythecurefan said...

@Stephen,
no offense man but this is just getting too darn difficult. i am going to upload DVD ISO's for NTSC and PAL. NTSC will be up before PAL though, so please download that and just burn the thing directly to a DVD. it's already chaptered and everything.

Exploding cure said...

a question for all : im transcode to dvd im use convertx to dvd, and in a moments the video have slow camera, someone more have this problem?
very thanks

Stephen said...

Why would I be offended?

andythecurefan said...

@explodingcure,
that is because that's how the video was recorded. sometimes the video has a lag in it and there was nothing i could do.

@stephen,
i don't know, i don't want you to think that i don't want to help you. im just trying to find alternatives since you seem to be having trouble.

andythecurefan said...

Here is an NTSC DVD ISO - Demonoid & Pirate Bay

PAL to come soon

Stephen said...

Not at all Andy, you have clearly made a massive effort to help all of us, THANK-YOU!

Just a question about NTSC and PAL.
What is the original recording you have?, is it NTSC or PAL?

And when you convert NTSC or PAL does it lose a bit of quality?, or is that when you convert PAL to NTSC?
I'm sure one is correct?

Thanks again for your big efforts.

andythecurefan said...

NTSC and PAL are just region codes for DVD. No quality loss.

Stephen said...

Oh sorry man, I just realised the original file was NOT either NTSC or PAL, therefore there is no conversion from one to the other anyway!

andythecurefan said...

gonna put up the PAL ISO in the morning and seed all day tomorrow. Just want this NTSC version to get off the ground.

andythecurefan said...

taking a while for this 4.11gb (no, sadly not 4.13gb) ISO to pick up. it's only got 6 seeds at the moment. as soon as i hit 10 or 12 seeders I will start the PAL upload.

andythecurefan said...

PAL ISO DVD - Demonoid

andythecurefan said...

PAL DVD ISO - PirateBay

there you guys go.

stilyagi said...

thanks a lot for this!

Craig said...

Thanks again, Andy. That was a lot of work!

andythecurefan said...

You're welcome everyone.

@Craig,
yeah, I've done all I could now. the next thing for me to do would be to burn DVDs myself and mail out to people who want them, but that's just not practical. I really hope I have covered every method of getting this show out there. It was a really good one and I was so lucky to have been there (thanks to Sarab543 of course).

eric said...

Pas fort !! Commencer a copiée des show s'en l'haprobation du groupe ??!!??

Carlos said...

many many thanks andy!

Stephen said...

Thanks again for your work in getting these NTSC and PAL versions up.
