Miles Davis - 1946-1959 - Lossless Legs Project (FM/FLAC)

(FM broadcast FLAC)
This torrent is a compilation of prior LL torrents that made up the Miles Davis 1946 - 1959 project initiated by Brion Green back in ~2007.
Brion coordinated the consolidation and seeding of best sources. Unlike the use of shnid's for Grateful Dead and Phish, there is no similar database of track checksums to assist in improving the lineage of Miles recordings.
Since this project there are undoubtedly many derived or new recordings. Maybe this bulk re-seed will initiate a possible updating of Brion's idea.
Because there are many small sized torrents the site admins elected to try this as an experiment - a torrent of sources which should match the individual torrent already here at Lossless Legs.
Note: The above statement is true with the exception of md1958-08-09.fm.LL35.flac16 which is not matching some non-music file. Once this torrent is launched we will reseed that individual torrent with this source.
Altogether there are 61 torrents from the Miles 46-59 Project and its ~ 6GB in size:

A very good recording which has't been effected by age. Only BBC can tell you why they didn't record the whole show. On a personal note I think Neigel Olson was the best drummer in pop music. He would have been killer in a Rock Band. The rest of the writeing comes from a web page,
By late 1974, Elton John was as big as he was ever going to be. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road had already seen him peak as a writer, but he wasn’t quite ready to commence the downward slide that eventually engulfed the remainder of his 1970s and, as a live performer, he was still at the top of his game. Who better, then, to ring in that year’s Christmas season with a one hour televised concert, courtesy of the British Old Grey Whistle Test?
The cameras caught the entire show, but broadcast just two-thirds of it. Here, the full 82 minute outing is presented in all its vibrant color and cabaret outrage, with Elton simply banging out the hits and the favorites - "Crocodile Rock," "Honky Cat," "Lucy In The Sky," "Benny and the Jets," you name it, it’s probably here.
The disc is divided into two parts; the opening half dozen songs, before the broadcast got under way, include excellent versions of "Rocket Man," "Daniel" and "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"; Whistle Test viewers joined the show midway through "Grey Seal," and then stayed on board all the way through to the riotous closing Christmas wishes, with Elton joined onstage by Rod Stewart and Gary Glitter, positively the only other figures on the UK scene of the day that could share his limelight and not be dwarfed by his platforms.
A large timing strip across the bottom of the picture does detract from the quality of the print, but one quickly grows accustomed to it. Besides, there’s so much going on elsewhere on stage that why would you even be looking down there? There’s a lot of other Elton live footage out there, vintage and recent, officially sanctioned and otherwise. Of it all, however, this is Elton at his peak, musically, visually and, via those trademark spectacular spectacles, sartorially. - Dave Thompson

25. Queen - God Save The Queen (taped outro)
This is definitely Queen's most bootlegged concert. It has been broadcast countless times on the radio worldwide and shown many times on TV, and so for decades it has kept the bootleggers busy! Originally, it aired live simultaneously on TV (Old Grey Whistle Test) and the radio (Radio One).
For this reason, there are moments when the band sound nervous. Brian's vocal harmonies are iffy at times, especially in Now I'm Here. Freddie hits couple of bad notes on the piano in White Queen when he first enters, and then hits a couple wrong chords at the end of BoRhap. Roger's snare seems to have problems tonight. It may seem as if he forgot to turn it on when White Queen's guitar solo starts, but it seems to actually turn itself off towards the end of the song! The snare is off again at the beginning of the first chorus of Liar. Later in the song, Roger misses his big flam to queue everyone into the coda. They recover well, although Freddie, clearly startled to some extent by Roger's mistake, sings "Everything you do is sin" for the first and second lines, instead of starting with "They never ever let you win" as usual. Still,all these things aside, it's a great performance, not even considering the
fact that both Freddie and Brian were feeling ill that day!
Listen carefully in Gods Revisited, as the sound engineer puts Brian into stereo immediately after Freddie leaves the piano. Glorious! Despite his illness, Brian has a superb night on his guitar, turning in fantastic renditions of White Queen and Brighton Rock, particularly.
While listening to such a high quality recording, one realizes that Freddie's live voice has not quite developed itself yet. In Seven Seas Of Rhye, for example, he doesn't hit most of the high A's with clarity or precision. Compare See What A Fool I've Been to the Champions shoot concert on 10-6-77, where two years later he's much more confident and uses his voice to greater lengths.
As revealed by the original live video broadcast on the Old Grey Whistle Test, most of the speeches between songs mentioning the fact that it was Christmas were later edited out of every (known) rebroadcast of the show, audio and video. Before Ogre Battle, Freddie says: "Right now Queen would like to drink a special Christmas toast to everybody here, all the viewers. So cheers!" Before Liar, he says, "And now a special Christmas edition of a little number called Liar." Roger, before he jumps into Big Spender, says, "Alright, Merry Christmas. Thanks for a fab year. We're gonna do some rock and roll." However, Freddie saying "Thank you, Merry Christmas everybody" at the end of Gods Revisited is fully audible on the video rebroadcasts, although it was muted on the recordings for later radio broadcasts.
This video is the best document of Freddie's strip act during Big Spender. The kimono, worth about $500 (which doesn't last long, of course), was given to him by a Japanese fan earlier in the year.
This is a multi-source compilation made with the intenson to finally have a complete audio version of this excellent concert. During the years this concert was re-broadcasted by both TV and radio in many countries. Therefore many audio sources have appeared, but none was complete. Many parts, like the spoken concert introduction or Freddie's christmas speeches appear only on the original TV broadcast, I will call this source the "video mix". This video mix covers the concert from the opening by the Nashville country band Area Code 615 - a taped song called Stone Fox Chase, which was used as the Old Grey Whistle Test theme song, to the end of Queen's rock'n'roll medley. After this medley finished, the BBC crew packed their equipment, the TV broadcast ended, which is the reason why the rest of the concert does not exist on video. It is also one of the reasons why this source can't be 100% used for this compilation, the second reason is the sound quality, which is much worse then the soundboard recordings. Since this concert was also broadcasted on BBC radio, this concert was recorded on soundboard. These multi-track master-tapes were later used to create 2 different soundboard mixes. The first soundboard mix, the "common mix" has great sound on the backing vocals, but the drum sound is not very good. This was the only mix used for all radio re-broadcasts, until the Swedish radio rebroadcast from 2005. This broadcast used a completely new mix, the "swedish radio mix", which has absolutely perfect drum sound, but on the other side, the backing vocals sound very weird. Also this new mix has unfortunatelly some radio-added jingles during some songs.
This compilation uses elements from both soundboard mixes with gaps filled with the video mix. Songs 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and some other small pieces come from the video source shared on Queenzone.
Its lineage should be something like : TV broadcast > VHS tape (unknown generation) > FLAC
Songs 4-9 come from the common soundboard mix. The recording comes from a pre-FM CD, intended for broadcast on April 12/13, 2002 on the Westwood One radio network. It is missing Bring Back That Leroy Brown, and everything after Gods Revisited. The quality is outstanding, and surely better than any radio broadcast (of this particular mix, the common mix).
Songs 3, 10-15 and 23-25 come from a bootleg CD called "There Ain't No Sanity Clause", which uses the swedish radio mix. All songs from it except the last 2 tracks have the lineage : Swedish FM radio 'P3 Live' 4-29-05 > CDR (0). The last 2 songs (See What A Fool I've Been & God Save The Queen) have the
lineage : BBC FM rebroadcast > Cassette (0)
This compilation was created in summer 2007 by pittrek using Cool Edit Pro. I have always used crossfades instead of cuts always when the sources change.

Notes
Here we have just under an hour of Rod's 1976 Christmas concert from London's Olympia. Quality- wise this seems to be sourced from a good quality VHS tape and is from the Japanese Wow-Wow channel and was used for the "Rock Masters" DVD boot. I think this was originally shown by the BBC and what we have here is all that was transmitted.(If anyone has a longer version I would be interested)

- original notes:
Joan performs a free concert on the steps of San Francisco's City Hall as her Christmas gift to the city. Joan is participating in the candlelight memorial march, following the November 27, 1978 assassinations of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk (killed by the former Supervisor Dan White). White was paroled in 1984 and committed suicide less than two years later.
This recording seems like a really important piece of music history. I believe this was professionally filmed as well, because at the beginning of "Amazing Grace", Joan says "The television part of this has to end exactly on the dot". I was not able to find any film available or any reference on the net.
The tape played really slow, so I spent a few days working on this doing pitch tests. I believe I've adjusted it to near perfection. This sounds SO GOOD now !!! I'm sure many Baez fans haven't heard this one. You'll enjoy it.
During this concert, Joan performs her first recorded song "Scarlet Ribbons" ~ recorded in 1958. After Joan performs "Blowin" in the Wind", she is joined by a choir and they sing through a collection of Christmas songs. Unfortunately "Holy Night" fades out early, missing the very end of the show. Joan also thanks Bill Graham for the sound.

Original notes (from yogilou)
This show has been posted before, although this version has 3 additional songs (The Bitch is Back, All's Quiet on the Western Front, and the closing Medley-Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' on/I Saw Her Standing There/Twist and Shout). In addition, this is a first generation recording. In the fall of 1982, a college friend (thanks Dave R.) spent a semester studying in London and recorded this for me when it was originally broadcast on the BBC.I have not heard the previous version that was posted (thanks Ryan for the original post), but based on the above facts I felt it was reasonable to assume that this is at least equal to what has been presented before, and has the extra tracks. I have also obtained the video of this show recently and will most likely be posting the DVD as well. This is an excellent performance, and has definately not been overdubbed (check out Davey's opening riff on Saturday Night's Alright, it is kind of painful!).
