When you’re on a bootleg concert page, you’ll notice the Unlock download button on the left hand side. Clicking it reveals the Download bootleg button.

This error means the hidden captcha verification failed. Click the download button again, it should work.

For playback of FLAC files, we strongly recommend suing Foobar2000, which is free for both Windows and Mac OS.

AUD (audience) represents a recording made from the audience at a venue. The sound quality can vary significantly. More recent recording devices do a better job of noise cancelling than the old analog ones.

SBD (soundboard) marks a recording made directly from the outputs of the soundboard at a show. These are usually the best that can be found, as crowd noise is as low as possible.

FM (FM broadcasting) recordings come from radio broadcasts of live concerts. With a good tuner, FM recordings can actually sound really clear. Depending on the radio station, some FM recordings may add compression to the dynamic rage, but they will generally sound better than AUD recordings.

In the early days of the internet, trading live bootlegs required grading each recording according to its quality (A+, A, B, C and so on). The reasons were the slow speeds and limited bandwidth, and people wanted to know what they were getting. We don’t grade recordings here because audio quality is subjective and, more importantly, the internet speeds today allow everyone to download the whole show and make their own mind up.

Sometimes, a show doesn’t have a complete recording available or maybe we’ve not come across it. If you come across such a show and own a complete recording of that concert, share it with us.
