This thread has just made my day (probably even my year)

49 minutes in - this is so good - missing him even more now.

Can somebody capture this? It'd be a shame if it disappeared forever, before we all got a chance to listen.

.

I'm in the process of it.

i am totally fascinated by the presentation and the stories. i do have all the music that has been played, but i love listening to this special program. unfortunately i failed to somehow get the file into my harddrive. if you managed to save this file, i would highly appreciate if you could tell me how to do the job.

lots of love from cologne, germany

The rocking version of Erotic City at about 1:35 is making my ENTIRE WEEK. I *neeeeeed* it.

Wow! What I wouldn't give for a copy of this!

When he played the August 3, 1983 take of Purple Rain ... the Intro is not warped like EVERY copy of that show that has ever circulated, including the video.

Look at the source code for the player, and find the link to the actual stream, then load the stream in VLC. Enable advanced controls in VLC, which gives you a Record button. Play the stream and immediately hit the Record button when the stream starts to play.

Anyone managed to capture this?

.

Or is there a firefox add on that might help me do it?

.

I could do with lying in bed listening to this on headphones.

cheers!

I must be doing something wrong as it doesn't seem to work. You would hope these things could be easier nowadays Desperately trying to grab this as it sounds remarkable.

I can't explain it any better - this is probably skirting the rules of what's ok here to begin with ... but my instructions are accurate - in the source code for the page, you can dig and find a .pls m3u8 link that is the actual stream link that the on-site player uses .. you can copy this link and open it in VLC and then use VLC to record the stream. you'll have to actually play the entire 4 hour show in order to record it, in real time. By default, your recording will end up in your My Documents/Music folder. It's definately worth it for all of the gems that he played ... especially the pristine copy of the uncut "Purple Rain" from first ave ... it smokes any previous circulating copy.

I view the source code in Chrome and search for "m3u8 on the page and shows nothing. Can't you just paste in the link here? I doubt it is against the rules and if it is, the mods can just remove it. Thanks.

I reckon that Baby your a Trip was clearer than whats out there as well. There are loads of gems on this

I take it back. Most of you haven't heard a lot of what Kevin played. His story about the "Erotic City" acetate is a gem. Puts you right there at 1st Avenue when it happened. Just wonderful.

That gives me chills. I've not listened yet but I'm about to. Talk about being at the bleeding edge of music. The biggest artist on the planet handing you his new record and it's a hit single he's using as a b-side...

Search for a browser addon that enables media downloads. There are many, pick one with a good rating. It'll add a button to your browser toolbar enabling you do download any media from any site.

ZOMG is this something else!

Had any of y'all ever heard "7th Sttreet Entry Blues" before? Or even heard OF it? Talk about a tight band, and holey moley do those blues chops sound like the second coming of Albert King!

^ That is incredible.

Up because it's supposed to expire at some point in the next 24 hours.

I shot an email to the station to see how long it will be available. Fingers crossed -

Using Firefox I could find the pls but not the m3u8 file... Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanx a lot!

Can't find the m3u8 link either!

That's why I requested a sticky.
