These CDs will be shared via a branch/leaf system. 4 or 5 branches will provide leaves with copies of the CD - burned in a DAO (that means no gaps between songs!) format on 80 minute CDs. Leaves will forward blank cds and postage (B+P) to their branch. Alternatively, a leaf based in Oz may send $4.00 to their branch to cover cds and postage - the B+P option should be considered first. Overseas readers are also welcome to get involved.

So, what happens now?
If interested in being a branch or a leaf, send a message to my Say Something username, or email me: [e-mail] If sending me an email, remove this bit = "removethisbit"

Let me know your name, your email address, and what state and/or country you live in.

If you want a copy - you're a leaf. If you want to help spread the love (and obviously get a copy) - you're a branch.

Experienced Say Something participants only will be considered for branch roles - of course, anyone reading this is more than welcome to get involved as a leaf! After a couple of days I'll allocate leaves to branches - eg NSW residents to a NSW branch (where possible) etc.

Any questions or queries, post away. If you're reading this in 6 months time - feel free to get in touch with me, I'll be more than happy to burn you a copy.

Lastly, if at any point I find this gig available for download via mp3, I'll cease sharing gigs that my mates are generous enough to share with me. I'm staunchly anti-mp3 when it comes to trading bootlegs - they're an inferior product. As I said in the earlier paragraph, if anyone wants a copy of this (even if you're reading this in 2 years!) get in touch with me and I'll happily burn you one!

Cheers
Heath

Edit begins here:
One thing I did forget to discuss - the quality of the bootleg.

I'm going to go on a limb here and say, one of the best Dempsey bootlegs I've heard. Despite the raucous crowd (over 18 and licensed!!), the recording is a treat - capturing the crowd's reaction beautifully, documenting each of Dempsey's mini spiels - you'll probably even hear yourself singing on it.

It's clear, and you'll be impressed. Listening to a couple of hundred people sing Pinstripe makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck each time I hear it - for an audience recording, this is easily rated A. Dempsey solo absolutely lends itself to any recording - you guys know that!

[Delirium]

why are you anti-mp3?

I wish i could get this but i cant be a leaf or branch because of various personal reasons .

[z]

he's against people burning mp3s to a CD, because then if they trade that CD with somoene, and that person makes mp3s, and then sends those mp3s to someone else, who burns to a cd, etc, etc.. you end up with a gradual loss of quality over time

I wish people would just use a "DON'T BURN MP3s TO CD" stance instead of purely anti-mp3 though, personally I can't tell the difference between a first generation LAME mp3 and a CD, especially with bootlegs

Hey Heath.

Great to see this happening. Maybe if I finally got my act into gear and uploaded the setlist/lyrics to instant st. somebody could do something creative w/ them for artwork?

Let me know, and I look forward to hearing this. Anybody interested in trading can find my list below.

ahahaha... i'm still only 17 and I was there. not all of the crowd were overage and drunk!

The issue being though, if you provide the concert in an mp3 format, ultimately these copies will be traded - even if everyone does have the best intentions. My source has spent a massive amount of time, recording, transfering, and then mastering this gig - to then offer it in a format that is 'lossy' would be a slap in the face to him. I look forward to 5 years from now, when dial-up connections no longer exist, and trading mp3's is no longer an issue!

Delirium, I'm going to PM you - we'll work out a way to get you a copy somehow.

Cheers
Heath
