Many amateur recordings of live concerts are available on the Internet.  Many artists state that these ROIOs (Recordings Of Independent Origin)  music may be freely shared, but not sold.  None of the music here has been commercially released nor has freely trading been prohibited by the artist.  If you enjoy this music pass it on; you may give this music or URL to others.  Support the musicians by buying their CDs and DVDs.

These music files are "lossless", i.e., they have not been reduced in quality by lossy compresson such as mp3.  They are saved in FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Compression) format.

    To get the show you must download all the parts of the RAR file and use software to un-archive it.  
    If you use Firefox browser (if you don't, you should try it)  the free Flashgot extension will let you download a group of files with one click.
    WinRAR is good for creating and opening archives and you can try it for free.  A license is $29.
    7-Zip is Open Source (free) and will un-archive rar files.
    To convert flac files to WAV or mp3, Trader's Little Helper is a good free program.  Another is Switch.

I've been collecting these concerts for years.  
    I find most of the lossless boots on the bittorrent tracker  http://www.dimeadozen.org/ 
    Another good tracker is etree.org.
    I recommend  the free torrent client  uTorrent.  

If you download torrents please be a good citizen and keep seeding after your downloads are complete so that others may get the music too.

I don't like the hassle of using Rapidshare or MegaUpload to download and I thinnk you don;t either so I pay Network Solutions for web server disc space and bandwidth. My previous web hosting service advertised "unlimited" disc space and bandwidth but forced me to stop uploading and told me that 10 GB was all that I was allowed.  If you want web hosting I DO NOT recommend Powweb.com.
