you can use winrar to extract the files, it's a free program, I could upload it unzipped, but it will probably take forever then to download You haven't got the files as MP3s petey? I've got Macs and they don't recognise the flac file format.

I would have to convert wave files as well so I'll stick with the flac ones and download a converter, thanks petey

Upthread somewhere I said I’m generally happy to have just one or two decent sounding shows per album/tour, and I’ve been intending to have a sort through to see which ones they are. It’s taken me a while to get to it, but this is the list. Some of them are audio ripped from DVDs, which is easy enough to do these days. I think I used AoA Audio Extractor, which is freeware in its basic version.
ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA Granada TV ‘Set of Six’ show (compiled from the First Light reissue double CD and Total Rock Review DVD).
There is also the Guildford Civic Hall audience bootleg, which is pretty terrible quality, but does at least include ELO doing Dear Elaine.
ELO 2 BBC recordings for Top Of The Pops radio show and the Paris Street Theatre set (from ELO2/Lost Planet reissue CD and the Live at BBC CD).
ON THE THIRD DAY Some good-sounding recordings from this period: there’s The Night The Light Went On… (official release), and BBC 'In Concert' at the Golders Green Hippodrome (from Live at BBC CD and the Rockaria Ouverture (sic) bootleg).
There’s also the Brunel University concert and the Rockpalast TV show (from Early Years DVD), both excellent.
ELDORADO The best show I’ve heard is the Providence audience bootleg.
FACE THE MUSIC More recordings circulate for this tour than any other. The San Francisco and Portsmouth shows were recorded for radio, and the London ‘Fusion’ concert for TV, so are the best sounding.
I don’t often listen to the Boston and Flint audience recordings, but they are more complete than the radio/TV shows above. The Detroit recording is the worst-sounding of the lot, but it does have the medley of ‘Let's Spend The Night Together/Piano Concerto In A Minor/The End’, so that is worth listening to at least.
A NEW WORLD RECORD I only know of one recording - the February 1977 audience bootleg from New York, which is a bit ropey-sounding but as it’s all there is…
OUT OF THE BLUE You really have to start with an audio rip of the 2006 DVD of the Wembley show.
The Osaka audience bootleg has a few more songs, and is at least listenable.
TIME I only really listen to the audience recording at Cologne. There are others, but none better than Cologne (with the exception of the Rotterdam show apparently, which I don’t have).
BALANCE OF POWER Other than the full Heartbeat set (which I’ve never heard), the Stuttgart show is pretty good quality.
ZOOM Pretty well provided for with the live DVD and recent CD, and an audio rip of the VH1 Storytellers show.
