Hi Dani, the file is WinRAR file which is similar to a WinZip file (if you're familiar with that). It's basically a compressed file of the individual MP3s. You can download WinRAR here:

One you download the software and the file you can extract the MP3s to a file. I checked quickly and this file contains MP3 files.

I'm new to WinRAR--just started using it a few months ago to get at all the wonderful items the ledgies post!

Sometimes the files inside a WinRAR file will be .wav or such and you can convert those by using something like

I'm sure there are others and I've no idea what makes one better than another (I'm still learning-slowly!!

I put the radio broadcasts in underlined font.

Random musings on this show that no one else probably gives a **** about:

Sara is glorious. Why didn't she perform it more?
Don't Let Me Down Again is an odd song choice. It's Lindsey's song from the Buckigham Nicks era. Sure it was on Live in 1980 and used to get FM airplay but it wasn't a hit by any stretch of the imagination. I can understand the band playing Go Your Own Way. It's one of FM's anthems. But this song? It sounds good. I just don't understand. Was this the band or Stevie's way of answering Lindsey's betrayal on the eve of their tour?

OKay--SUPER excited to have found this thread when I got on tonight. You guys are amazing and so generous for sharing. Thanks again.

As for this performance, I love it, especially Little Lies and Isn't it Midnight (I'm in a Christine mood this week I guess). I loved it all, except, Stand Back sounded very karaoke version to me, I was sad. The music itself just sounded funny, but it's still all good!

I supposedly have this friend who has some good boots of the Mirage tour and I am working on getting those from her cus I NEED THEM, as do all of you. I'll keep you posted on that...

Another utility to extract archived files is 7-zip which is open-source (free) and can be downloaded here:

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Once installed, you just right-click on your archived file to extract the compressed files. Works like a charm and there are versions available for all kinds of operating systems. The 32-bit Windows .exe download should work for those with Windows Vista, XP, etc.

I just downloaded the show but I'll be patient and wait until this weekend when I can blast it through my sound system.

It made perfect sense for the band to play it if you remember that Billy Burnette was an avowed Lindsey Buckingham fan, & DON'T LET ME DOWN AGAIN was one of his favorite songs. It was undoubtedly his idea to throw it in. The band played it magnificently: Mick & John were never tighter, & Rick's guitar was unleashed. It was gut-thumping in concert. There was no passion play of windswept emotions involved -- just the new guys wanting to rock out & pay a little tribute to a key former member.

Stevie seems to be singing "if our hearts they never cross" rather than paths. Wonder if that was deliberate - though Stevie seems to struggle to remember lyrics that she didn't write.

Great concert - thanks for sharing it!

[OldTimer]

Thanks so much for this concert, what a treat! Ledgies are the greatest....

Stevie really does sound like she's got herself all together here -- that's a smokin' performance of Gold Dust Woman, and Sara is beautiful.

I'm struck once again at how consistently perfect (pun intended) Christine's vocals are -- sometimes I think we take that for granted. (Plus, she adds some wickedly hot keyboards to Stop Messin' Around.)

I noticed that too. On the first chorus, it's "if our hearts they never cross" but then on the second chorus she goes back to the song's original "If our paths they never cross." The third chorus is nearly unintelligible, but I think it's back to "if our hearts...."

Gonna have to check this out!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

I compared this show to what I have of the 18th and 19th. I am pretty certain that this show isn't the 18th, but it is the 19th. It's the exact same quality and the extact same things are said on both copies of my show. The 18th is more B quality.

So I don't believe this is a new source of the 18th that we just found, it's just the 19th.

Excellent detective work on your part!
