I chose FLAC and got:

WAM - Barcelona
CBC - Bordeaux
STP - Berlin
OUATITW - Stockholm
R&J - Lyon
MBR - Kestenholz
MM - Verona
HFOH - Mashantucket
SG/YLT - Boston
PFP - Toronto
OES - Chicago
SAN - Nashville
MFN - Atlanta
BIA - Antwerp
GH - Vancouver

Then we are at least 3 who got this one..

me too. I am just downloading the remaining 2 zips. An WAM only got 32 KHz :( The other songs are in 48 KHz

Don't really understand why they took the very first FLAC version of WAM in Barcelona. As you said it's 32khz and not 48khz, they had to fix this and release a new version after some fans complained. So, why they didn't take the corrected 48khz file is a mystery... :disbelief

How you folks know which track has been taken from which show?

I ordered my tickets through MK.com and this morning I received my download code. I downloaded the FLAC version. The tracklist and the order is the one posted in this thread, but I don't see the association with the shows .

Some players show that info, and some don't. It is buried somewhere in the data.

Yes crazy, I received 2 mails with a Total of 15 codes or so. Why would I download the same compilation 15 times ?

That‘s bad, but they might not have expected that we buy so many tickets!
If you don‘t need them you could give the codes to fellow fans!

Although I enjoy listening to the Barcelona concert as a whole, WAM from that concert is not one of the best, so I wonder why it was selected when around 80 other much better versions were available?      :think

It was "selected" simply because it is the first song from the first concert. The songs are both in setlist order and chronological order (save for BIA at the end), which is mathematically impossible if you select a "best of" using your judgement. There was no human decision involved. shame !

So not a "best of" at all, in fact.   ::)

To be fair, though, it would have been an almost impossible task to select the best version of each song from all 87 concerts - it is just a compilation and it is a freebie, so I'm not complaining.    :)

Well, in 2015 they made 2 best of (European and North America) which made much more sense. Every song was featured, and the versions that were selected were of course debatable, but at least were chosen by a human, and definitely they were not the worst versions. This is a huge step back. Although I don't care, I made my own compilation using my jugement and preferences, but still - even such as simple task as that, MK. com is unable to do properly...

Has anyone listened through the whole thing yet, to get a feel for how it works as a concert? (No need to mention the fairly significant dip in momentum in the middle - that was built into the programming!)

And even worse they picked the 32khz WAM from Barcelona. Just shows the level of professionalism.....

I don't care about this best of thing, it's not picked by someone who really listens and can make a solid judgement on what songs to choose.

I have many soundboards already so this thing is nothing I'll keep with how it's made... :disbelief

I've done one "best of" myself, that will see the light of day very soon :)

I'm sure they didn't mixed a thing... they just pick them from one folder and put them in other, without continuity...
