It is comprised of both AUD and SBD recordings.<br \/>\nI have seen this floating around many times online, but always in lossy MP3 form.<br \/>\nI have hunted for a true lossless source, but everytime I&#8217;ve gotten what was supposed to be lossless, they have been, in fact, transcoded files (or at least some of the files were).<\/p>\n<p>So, I have recompiled the set myself, using all lossless sources, with two exceptions:<br \/>\nIt&#8217;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.<br \/>\nBelieve me, I&#8217;ve tried. I&#8217;ve bothered everyone I know! I&#8217;ll keep looking.<br \/>\nIf I find them, I&#8217;ll update the compilation. So, THEY ARE MP3 here. It was either that or don&#8217;t include them and I did not want to do that.<br \/>\nThe entire compilation is FLAC, except those two files.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I&#8217;ve tracked down and documented the exact versions of the songs as well.<br \/>\nFor example, &#8220;Wild Horses&#8221; was listed as being from &#8220;early &#8217;99&#8221; in the notes from the original compilation.<br \/>\nI listened to every performance of Wild Horses and found that the version used was from 3.7.99.<\/p>\n<p>I take no credit for the original compilation. I have no idea who put it together, but they did a great job.<br \/>\nI just wanted a version with the best sound quality and audio fidelity possible, so this was the result.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the folks who helped me track down a few of the tracks (and provided them in some cases).<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nI know it&#8217;s a pain for some people to download the original tracks, but there&#8217;s nothing I can do about it at the moment.<br \/>\nIf you use Firefox, grab the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.downloadhelper.net\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>DownloadHelper <\/strong><\/a>plugin or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so here it is:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"The Bitter Blue Compilation: Lossless Recompile\" href=\"http:\/\/mindshatter.com\/dmb\/files\/BitterBlueLosslessRecompile\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: black;\"><strong>The Bitter Blue Compilation: Lossless Recompile<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><em>EDIT: I have no idea where the artwork came from. It came with an mp3 version of the compilation I got from someone.<br \/>\nIf anyone wants to make a great cover for this compilation, by all means, have at it!!<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is the Bitter Blue Compilation. I have seen it all over the web in various forms &#8211; mostly MP3.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve tried obtaining a truly lossless version, but have not been successful, so I decided to re-create it myself.<br \/>\nThis version of this great compilation is comprised of completely lossless files with TWO exceptions &#8211; &#8220;It&#8217;s All Gravy&#8221; from Disc 1 and &#8220;Get Me High&#8221; from Disc 2.<br \/>\nThey 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.<\/p>\n<p>I take no credit whatsoever for compiling this. I don&#8217;t know who compiled it originally, but they did a great job putting together an excellent list of rare songs.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t make any restrictions on distributing this myself really, since none of these files were taped by me, but I will say this,<\/p>\n<p>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).<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy this terrific compilation.<\/p>\n<p>ZackR<br \/>\n============================<\/p>\n<p>Disc 1 &#8220;Tired Old Rhythm&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1.Heathcliff&#8217;s Haiku Warriors (Dave solo, 3-23-93)<br \/>\n2.Any Noise Anti Noise (Early Say Goodbye, 7-6-93)<br \/>\n3.Route 2 (Early Proudest Monkey, 3-11-93)<br \/>\n4.Exodus (Bob Marley cover w\/David Ryan Harris, 7-28-95)<br \/>\n5.Crazy (early Captain, Dave solo, 6-3-96)<br \/>\n6.Looking at You (D&amp;T, 2-22-97)<br \/>\n7.Dreamed I killed God (D&amp;T early 97)<br \/>\n8.It&#8217;s All Gravy (Soundcheck, 8-8-02)<br \/>\n9.ABC Jam (Jackson Five cover, 5-6-92)<br \/>\n10.If I Had a Boat (D&amp;T, Lyle Lovett cover, 3-14-99)<br \/>\n11.Reconcile Our Differences (Early Bartender) (1.29.99)<br \/>\n============================<\/p>\n<p>Disc 2 &#8220;The Breath In My Prayers&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1.Leave Me Praying (early DDTW, 7-27-97)<br \/>\n2.Once on a Wild Afternoon (Dave solo, 9-11-92)<br \/>\n3.Mother Night (D&amp;T, circa 1989)<br \/>\n4.Love of My Life (D&amp;T w\/Carlos Santana, 3-14-99)<br \/>\n5.In My Life (Dave solo, Beatles cover, 10-2-01)<br \/>\n6.Watermelon Song (6-11-99)<br \/>\n7.Hey Joe (Boyd on vocals, Traditional cover, 8-21-91)<br \/>\n8.Get Me High (Soundcheck, 7-3-03)<br \/>\n9.Kind Intentions (Quad Studios demo, 2-1-93)<br \/>\n10.Is Chicago, Is Not Chicago (Soul Coughing cover, 6-11-96)<br \/>\n11.Getting Higher Jam (8-1-96)<br \/>\n12.People, People (1-26-93)<br \/>\n============================<\/p>\n<p>Disc 3 &#8220;Cry as I May&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1.Any Noise Anti Noise (Dave solo, summer 93)<br \/>\n2.Toy Soldiers (6-11-96)<br \/>\n3.Heathcliff&#8217;s Haiku Warriors (Dave solo, 7-6-93)<br \/>\n4.Penis Song (Dave solo, 9-11-92)<br \/>\n5.Back to Alexandria (Big Voice Jack cover w\/Big Voice Jack, 6-7-98)<br \/>\n6.Light Lift Me Up (Soundcheck 8-10-01)<br \/>\n7.Something&#8217;s Burning (8-27-03)<br \/>\n8.Stir it Up (Bob Marley cover, 8-22-98)<br \/>\n9.Doobie Thing&gt;Happy Birthday&gt;Ants Marching (11-2-93)<br \/>\n10.Hold Me Down (Dave solo, 2-19-96)<br \/>\n11.Tangerine (D&amp;T, Led Zeppelin cover, 2-19-96)<br \/>\n12.Angel From Montgomery (Boyd on vocals, John Prine cover, 12-31-92)<br \/>\n13.You Won&#8217;t See Me (Beatles cover, 8-21-91)<br \/>\n============================<\/p>\n<p>Disc 4 &#8220;Sour Disappointment&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1.Deed is Done (w\/Tim Reynolds, 10-4-95)<br \/>\n2.How Many More (Soundcheck, 4-21-02)<br \/>\n3.Spotlight (9-1-92)<br \/>\n4.Eyes of the World (Grateful Dead cover, 8-11-95)<br \/>\n5.Waste (Dave solo, 8-25-01)<br \/>\n6.After Her (Dave solo, Early Satellite, Rutebega demos, early 91)<br \/>\n7.Riders on the Storm (Dave w\/Agents of Good Roots, Doors cover, 3-18-97)<br \/>\n8.Kind Intentions (Soundcheck, 2-5-94)<br \/>\n9.Get in Line (12-31-94)<br \/>\n10.Dressed in Black (Dave solo, Soundcheck, 5-9-01)<br \/>\n11.Don&#8217;t Burn the Pig (early Pig, 5-10-95)<br \/>\n============================<\/p>\n<p>Disc 5 &#8220;Laugh With the Rest&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>1.Loving Wings (8-27-03)<br \/>\n2.Wild Horses (D&amp;T, Rolling Stones cover, early 99)<br \/>\n3.Me and Her (4-5-94)<br \/>\n4.Redemption Song (Dave solo, Bob Marley cover, 1-26-93)<br \/>\n5.#40 (Full Version, 5-10-95)<br \/>\n6.The Beauty of Wynona (Daniel Lanois cover, 6-11-97)<br \/>\n7.Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard (Paul Simon cover, 11-17-92)<br \/>\n8.#34 (w\/ words, 3-23-93)<br \/>\n9.41 Police (early #41, 4-7-95)<br \/>\n10.Anyone Seen the Bridge (w\/Mike Doughty, 10-4-96)<br \/>\n11.Blue Water Baboon Farm (12-31-92)<br \/>\n============================<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitter Blue Compilation is a great 5-Disc set of rare DMB, Dave &amp; Tim and Dave Solo songs.
