Oopsie. Hey satisfied, that was kryptoman not talon. I'm so embarrassed. Apologies to kryptoman. Thanks for letting me know, rihannsu - I fixed my mistake. In my defence, I switched to Windows 10 yesterday and I'm fighting the urge to throw my laptop out the window (pun intended). Windows in my laptop keep on asking me to upgrade it to windows 10 and I keep on denying it.

The Cologne stadium is huge. It holds over 50K! So even if it looks half full, that would be 25K plus there. Reviews say 25K. I don't see anything wrong with that! Besides the huge festivals, like RIR, Summer Sonic, etc., I think that might be one their largest audiences. There were some convos on the periscope last night about how it was sold out, and it had started to look very full, but when the rain fell in earnest, people started leaving, or maybe taking shelter somewhere.....but not sure if it was the periscoper saying that or..?? The second seatingring wasnt sold very well, the first seatingring did sell well. The general admission was split in three parts, all with different prices. The part closest to the stage was very full, the second and third part not that full. So i twas definately not sold out, but it sold pretty well, during the concert the stadium looked full.

Given the weather I wouldn't judge degree of sales by empty seats. Some of those seats might have sold but been empty due to people choosing not to brave the weather. The Cologne stadium is huge. It holds over 50K! So even if it looks half full, that would be 25K plus there. Reviews say 25K. I don't see anything wrong with that! Besides the huge festivals, like RIR, Summer Sonic, etc., I think that might be one their largest audiences. It's a football/Soccer stadium, for football/soccer game it will hold 50K. For this festival, they probably took more than 1/3 of the stadium and off course the festival organizer couldn't sell seats that don't have good views of the stage.

Yep, I've just downloaded the video from YouTube and in process of extracting the audio. I don't have time to break it into individual songs, but maybe Norbuk will have time. I'll send him a PM about it. ETA - Uploading now! Likely available about 4 pm est. Yes please and thankyou..!! OK, the audio and the 480p video downloaded from the Cologne full show YouTube by Arie Uijtterlinde has uploaded to my Mega account. The 720p video will be done about 5:30 pm est. I put the audio & video in separate subfolders. There is both a M4A and MP3 version of the audio. YouTube actually stores the audio as M4A. So the M4A is the best quality, purest (not been re-encoded again) audio from the YouTube video. The MP3 audio was converted from the M4A audio to MP3 by my YouTube downloader and thus is a bit lower in quality and not as pure (it has been re-encoded again). Note that the MP3 file is 191.3 MB which is almost twice the size of the 102.7 MB M4A file. Also, I added meta-data to both the M4A and MP3 files so that they show up in iTunes and other players with the name of the album, artist, song title, and album art automatically. I used the unofficial QAL Cologne for the album art and included it in the audio folder. You may want to change the name of the audio file to something shorter before you import it to iTunes or put on a smartphone. Changing the file name will not change the meta-data that is displayed. I have made inquiries to see if it is possible to get the original audio file straight from the video recording as it came off of the camera. This would produce even better audio. Keeping my fingers crossed that the person is willing to share it. Here is a link to the folder containing Audio & Video subfolders: mega.nz/#F!vcNQXJ6L!fHwXFvboziz2-ytGkocBWA tinyurl.com/hhm52hjHere is a link to just the Audio subfolder: mega.nz/#F!iAtEkDTQ!-AeWCc5BNu0j4vftSH5LNw tinyurl.com/gl63gdoI will post the link to just the Video subfolder after the 720p video finishes uploading. If you download the 480p video now, but sure to get the file that is 887.0 MB in size. Now, to go walk my male cat before he has an even bigger fit!

Windows in my laptop keep on asking me to upgrade it to windows 10 and I keep on denying it. Are you running Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 now? Windows 10 is supposed to be better than 8 & 8.1. But Windows 7 is still very nice.

Don't worry, I was sleeping when it happened, so I did not even noticed until I saw the discussion. There are surely worse things in the world than being mistaken for the all-knowing talon

On the news today already two accidents with lightning striking in on people with many victims injured (in france and germany). So glad nothing happened yesterday, i saw some pretty heavy lightning yesterday during the concert Living in central FL, not too far from Tampa (which was the lightening capital of the US) I have a very healthy respect for lightning. I live on a golf course so while watching some of the awesome displays, I have seen several trees split from the strike! There must be some special kinds of lightening rods attached to that stage for it to be any kind of safe. Hell, planes don't land in Tampa if there is a strike within five miles of the airport! How the heck could Brian get away with holding an electric guitar in puddles of water? LOL
