Hey Folks,
I'm compiling a three part series, which I am simply calling We Are The Same Live.
These compilations are/will be mp3s, converted from FLAC into 320kbps mp3s.
They are ready to burn/iPod/any other mp3 device ready. This compilation was edited with Audacity, and I attempted to make it flow together.
Volumes Two & Three will consist of one disc of a mix of Hits & Gems played on this this tour, and another disc devoted to the acoustic songs The Hip have been playing.
I am not a professional by any means, and I am making these compilations for my own enjoyment. I just figured I would upload them in case anybody else wanted to grab them.

I realize megaupload has its limitations, so if anybody would like to, feel free to host this. This link will expire eventually.

Here's Volume One:

All recordings are from the sources found in the Hipfans archive.

There are also four bonus tracks for Volume One (Just some other performances of different songs on the WATS tour). These bonus tracks are in this compilation simply so the running time of the compilation is close to 80 minutes (the length of a typical CD-R).

I posted this in the Downloading & Trading section as well, but I figured I would also post here for the sake of elevated traffic.
I hope this stumbles upon a few ears.

Enjoy.

Thanks Sean, great idea!

why don't you just upload a torrent to the tracker? wouldn't that be easier?

I didn't want to upload it to the tracker as these are mp3s.

I'm happy to host them at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.rheostaticslive.com/Files/HIP/WATSL-V1.zip">http://www.rheostaticslive.com/Files/HIP/WATSL-V1.zip</a><!-- m -->

Go with Chris since everything is already there - Just trying to help if needed

Getting any sleep Chris?

[chris]

A little here and there... but not much.

[kleh]

thanks for this

the depression suite sounds incredible live

Getting any sleep Chris?

A little here and there... but not much.

One trick I did that let me close my eyes for awhile - The kid would sleep perfectly on me, but not anywhere else.
So I would take the Baby Bjorn, put the kid in it and lay down for a nap on the couch.
That way the kid could not roll off of me and I could not easily roll onto him.

Now back to Sean's regularly scheduled download.

Ewan is the same - but I haven't tried it with the Bjorn!

Volume Two should be ready by the end of the week.

[BrenTheodore]

Great work Sean.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

Happy Birthday.

For a guy who needs some [more] recognition for what he does around here, but should need no introduction. Get sloshed tonight, amigo!

[LarryIrvine]

thank you Sean.

enjoy the rest of this bummer summer!

I haven't had a decent night sleep since 2003...
