Just over a month ago, the Pageant played host to Wilco’s lone 2015 St. Louis show. If you were at the show, you know it was something special and won’t soon be forgotten. If you weren’t able to make the show (or couldn’t score tickets), you needn’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’re pleased to announce we’ve archived the show for your listening pleasure.
You can freely download the show in lossless FLAC and lossy MP3 formats at the URLs below. If you’d like to read more about the show, check out our editor-in-chief’s review [HERE]. In the meantime, do yourself a solid, grab a copy of the show, and throw on your headphones (before you explode) … ’cause Wilco will love you, baby!
Download the lossless FLAC version [HERE]. (717 MB)
Download the lossy MP3 version [HERE]. (321 MB)
It should be noted, for all the audiophiles out there, the zip archives were each created using no external compression (to maintain file integrity). Yeah, we’re like that too, we just don’t openly admit it. 😉
And lastly, it should also be noted the source, uncompressed 16/44.1 PCM WAV files were converted to MP3 using LAME 3.98 using the –preset insane and –replaygain-accurate options. This yielded high-quality MP3 files at a constant bit rate (CBR) of 320 kbps.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or feedback, please let us know. We’re happy to help.
Enjoy!
