S&M: 11.19.1999 (Berlin); and 11.23.1999 (New York)

Sorry if I'm bothering anybody by asking this, but I'm looking for a re-upload of the latter two S&M shows-- 11.19.1999 (Berlin) and 11.23.1999 (New York)-- in lossless (FLAC or WAV), because the links in the lossless thread are completely down, from what I've checked.
(I did grab the MP3s from the lossy thread, but I want to have 'em in FLAC too, though. Just for preservation and editing/restoring purposes.)

Thanks!

⸻⸻⸻ EDIT: ⸻⸻⸻

If B_M's link still doesn't work by now (as in, if Track 3 still won't download correctly), try the original upload from MetPage: http://forum.metpage.org/index.php?showtopic=40509
[You'll need a MetPage account to access their forums, but it's definitely worth it! Both shows are good (the New York show is fucking stellar for 1999!), and sound quite good as well (even though the Velodrom show is an audience recording)!]

Again, thanks to B_M: for both his own link and the re-direct to the original upload on MetPage!

Hi, do you still need them?

I would like them too. I've been trying to find FLAC files of the live album version of S&M as well.

I would still like to have them in FLAC, yes. If you have 'em, I'd greatly appreciate it!

(Sorry if I kept you waiting, BTW! It's been a bit since I've been on here.)

Just wondering, what do you mean by the "live album version"?
Do you mean the CD version, the DVD version, or an audience recording of the original two concerts?

I have both of the former versions. If you'd like them, PM me.

Yeah sorry I completely worded it wrong, (lack of sleep) I meant the DVD version because I like that mix better.

Don't worry, you're fine! You didn't word anything wrong, just a bit vaguely. I do appreciate the clarification, though.

The DVD is multichannel, and contains four audio channels:
  1. A normal Stereo mix, featuring both the band and the orchestra.
  2. Two alternate Stereo mixes: one featuring only Metallica, and another featuring only the orchestra.
  3. ...and lastly, a 5.1 Surround mix-- again, featuring both the band and the orchestra.
Which one(s) would you like?
(FYI, none of them are lossless: all of the audio tracks are encoded in Dolby's AC-3 format, at ~256kbps. This is not by my choice, it was just how the audio was encoded on the DVD. I can convert them to FLAC for easier listening/editing if you want, but the files will be considerably larger.)

P.S. I also like the DVD mix better, due to the fact that it's much less abridged than the CD: it feels a bit more genuine.

Yeah I hate AC_3, I guess that's the trouble with DVDs.

If I could have the normal stereo and the one with just the band that would be great, no need to convert them to FLAC.

My thanks and cheers!

Alright, I'll PM you in a bit with a link (it'll be a temp. one, though!)
