Just a helpful hint about vines (setlists & sources plea
Posted: June 1, 2004 4:16 pm
I'm so happy Parrotheads are finally jumping on the vines and bit torrent bandwagon (I grabbed a couple of great shows this past weekend). With that said, it would be helpful if maybe we follow a similar etiquette observed by Phish fans, deadheads, etc., when seeding vines.
It would be great to know the source of the show. I presume most are Radio Margaritaville recordings, but every once in a while an audience recording or soundboard recording pops up. It may also be good to know how it was recorded, encoded, etc. I, for one, am not a big fan of Radio Margaritaville recordings - especially those encoded poorly. Unless I attended a show or there was a rarity included, I would probably skip RM shows (I'm sure I'm not the only one).
And finally, setlists within the post would be cool. Sure, a setlist is only a few clicks away, but, that's still a few clicks that could be saved. If you don't want to post the entire setlist, because let's face it, they are similar, at least tell us the rarities that were played.
Just some thoughts...take 'em or leave 'em. Keep the shows coming and share the jams with your fellow Parrotheads.
