DMB Demos Compilation

This is a new compilation I have been working on and I think it is finally ready to be released.

There are numerous solo and full band demos floating around the web. Some are complete and intact. others are spread among multiple distributed “demos” with filler tracks, live cuts, etc interspersed. The purpose of this demo compilation is to combine all the tracks into a single compilation, in the correct order with accurate information.

I take no credit for this. All these tracks are already available thanks to the efforts of traders and others in this great community. All I did was put it all together. I couldn’t even have done that on my own. Many thanks go to Jake over at antsmarching.org for his help in tracking down dates and accurate information and for not banning me for bombarding him with countless PMs and emails. Additionally, a couple individuals provided me with tracks I was missing.

What is included: every publicly-circulating demo that I feel confident can be shared.

What is NOT included: Demos of newer material (such as the Big Whiskey April Demo) and other items of questionable origin.

This is intended to be as definitive as possible.

All errors and/or mistakes are mine alone.

I am going to try to add a .torrent as soon as possible to make downloading easier for those who prefer torrents.

Enjoy!

The Bitter Blue Compilation

The Bitter Blue Compilation is a great 5-Disc set of rare DMB, Dave & Tim and Dave Solo songs. It is comprised of both AUD and SBD recordings.
I have seen this floating around many times online, but always in lossy MP3 form.
I have hunted for a true lossless source, but everytime I’ve gotten what was supposed to be lossless, they have been, in fact, transcoded files (or at least some of the files were).

So, I have recompiled the set myself, using all lossless sources, with two exceptions:
It’s All Gravy on Disc 1 and Get Me High on Disc 2. These are the only two files that I could not find lossless.
Believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve bothered everyone I know! I’ll keep looking.
If I find them, I’ll update the compilation. So, THEY ARE MP3 here. It was either that or don’t include them and I did not want to do that.
The entire compilation is FLAC, except those two files.

Additionally, I’ve tracked down and documented the exact versions of the songs as well.
For example, “Wild Horses” was listed as being from “early ’99” in the notes from the original compilation.
I listened to every performance of Wild Horses and found that the version used was from 3.7.99.

I take no credit for the original compilation. I have no idea who put it together, but they did a great job.
I just wanted a version with the best sound quality and audio fidelity possible, so this was the result.

Thanks to the folks who helped me track down a few of the tracks (and provided them in some cases).

Finally, as some of you might know, right now, my web provider is having problems with large zip files, so I uploaded the individual tracks.
I know it’s a pain for some people to download the original tracks, but there’s nothing I can do about it at the moment.
If you use Firefox, grab the DownloadHelper plugin or something like that.

OK, so here it is:

The Bitter Blue Compilation: Lossless Recompile

Enjoy.

EDIT: I have no idea where the artwork came from. It came with an mp3 version of the compilation I got from someone.
If anyone wants to make a great cover for this compilation, by all means, have at it!!

This is the Bitter Blue Compilation. I have seen it all over the web in various forms – mostly MP3.
I’ve tried obtaining a truly lossless version, but have not been successful, so I decided to re-create it myself.
This version of this great compilation is comprised of completely lossless files with TWO exceptions – “It’s All Gravy” from Disc 1 and “Get Me High” from Disc 2.
They are MP3 files. Sorry about that, but for now, that is all I can find. I will continue looking those and if I find lossless copies, I will update this accordingly.

I take no credit whatsoever for compiling this. I don’t know who compiled it originally, but they did a great job putting together an excellent list of rare songs.

I can’t make any restrictions on distributing this myself really, since none of these files were taped by me, but I will say this,

PLEASE RESPECT THE WISHES OF TAPERS AND DO NOT CONVERT TO MP3 OTHER THAN FOR PERSONAL USE (obviously the two files I mentioned above are the exception).

Enjoy this terrific compilation.
