As a nice keepsake, I downloaded the "high quality" .flac version of the 10/1/04 Detroit show i attended for $12.95.

In all honesty, this isn't worth $2 in my book. I equate the sound quality to that of AM radio. And this download is taken right from the soundboard? I really feel ripped off and it bothers me everytime I look at my 2 CD set with custom .pdf cover art.

I hope for every fans sake that paid for something like this, that this is a one time soundboard recording problem.
Has anyone else paid for any downloads from their 2004 tour? I'd like to hear something to the contrary.
I have downloaded 'The Tragically Hip' from a similiar, if not the same 'live downloads' company and the range and resolution is excellent.
