the sound is surprisingly good for radio streams. the source for each recording is, of course soundboard rather than AUD, which helps, but considering the stream was probably a fairly low bitrate, they sound good even compared to a lot of lossless SBD masters that i've heard.
they're all in high-quality mp3, too, which should please a few of you who have issues with me always uploading everything in .flac :)
the wilco and raconteurs recordings are really clean, and you can pretty much barely ever tell that they're streamed recordings. the she & him recording has some skipping/buffering noise pretty constantly from about 1/3rd to 2/3rds of the way through, but it's definitely listenable regardless. the radiohead sounds good, but the bass is really high in the mix and sometimes fuzzes out, especially during the last few songs ("idioteque" comes to mind).
anyway, get all four of them. they're quick downloads (all under 200mb), and great shows. the racs' show especially melted my ears a little. i also liked hearing zooey with a band (m.ward included, of course).
