11 YEARS OF LIVE EXPERIENCE: MY TOP 20 SHOWS ON DIME!

Hello, 2008 is almost over so i thought I would make a kind of summary of the last decade and select those shows I taped
over the 1997-2008 period which I enjoyed most and then make a personal Top 20 ranking. These shows (except for those that
cannot be uploaded on DIME because they are not compliant) will be seeded here from now till the end of the year. Believe me,
all of them were top quality and it was not easy to do a proper ranking. As always, they will span from rock to brazilian
music, to jazz, progressive and pop. You will see here a mix of shows already seeded in my Master Series but deleted since
a long time, some others still on the tracker and some uncirculated shows you've never seen in the trading circuit or here
on DIME. It's going to be some fun, gents. They are all from my masters.

#20 - PAT METHENY GROUP: Milano, Mazda Palace - June 21, 2005
#19 - SIGUR ROS: Castellazzo di Bollate, Villa Arconati - June 25, 2003
#18 - JAN GARBAREK: Milano, Auditorium di Milano - May 19, 2003

Ready to go? Here we go with #14...

LDB Master Series #161

Hello, this is a collection of masters I would like to seed here. I've been taping shows for more than 20 years and have an
awful lot of masters. Most of them are in the old cassette format, some others are on MiniDisc and others are on CD. I've
taped many shows of many artists over the years, so don't be surprised if you will find many different artists taped! Some
shows are already circulating, some others have not circulated through collectors yet. But most of all, enjoy!
They all come from my masters!

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

A different version of this show is still on the tracker http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=204617 but here
is mine which is uncirculated. Funny enough, I just came back from the Olympia for a show and it was the first time I had
come back since the RTF gig. What I show it was Return to Forever!!! I was so impressed with these four musicians and the
whole audience was. I must have missed the first 60 seconds (fortunately it was a quiet intro so you won't loose much
because the bloody lady who assigned seats had to move me because I was assigned the wrong seat. And while standing up I
would switch off my R-09 and erase the first 60 seconds so I had to start from scratch. Apart from this, the recording is
clear. And the music is something that is timeless. Al DiMeola was the one it impressed me the most. Have a listen to this
one!
