The 24/96 HD Audio Edition of Sin City Illusion II sounds significantly better than the original 16/44 release.
If you have instructions on how to properly burn a Blu-Ray Audio or DVD Audio Disc, please share.
I'm happy listening to the Sin City Illusion 24/96 HD Audio Edition files on my Fiio X5 2nd Gen digital audio player.
NOTICE: The Las Vegas 2016: Double Shot Multi-IEM+AUD Matrix 4CD/2DVD pressed disc set from XAVEL - Silver Masterpiece Series should render all other Vegas sources obsolete.

I've pre-ordered two copies of "Double Shot". They are in transit.
I will share all of the content when the time is right.
All you need is just a little patience...
XAVEL has a reputation for producing ultra high quality IEM+AUD Matrix releases.
I believe they should be compensated for their work!
If you have any interest in purchasing Double Shot, I suggest that you order before the end of June 2016.
A quick sell out is expected! I could point you to the Japanese dealer I've dealt with.
Update: Unfortunately, I have learned that the two Double Shot: Las Vegas 2016 DVDs are in DVD5 format.
This is disappointing. Hopefully, a 50GB factory pressed Double Shot Blu-Ray is in the pipeline.
I'd buy it!
The events leading up to the April 9th Guns N' Roses concert were rather uneventful...
This time around, Limulus and I headed to the T-Mobile Arena at 6PM. I bought several Vegas themed GNR T-shirts for my massive Guns N' Roses memorabilia collection. After this, we spent some time outside the venue entrance and spoke to fans in the crowd, including one young man who travelled from Costa Rica to see Guns N' Roses. Talk about dedication! After chatting with the Costa Rican fan for about 20 minutes, Limulus and I lined up in front of the entrance and waited for the T-Mobile Arena to open its doors. Thankfully, on April 9th, the doors opened on time!
On this night, I entered through the main entrance and once again the metal detector went off. For an unknown reason, the metal detecting wand buzzed around my ankle.
A security staffer asked if I had a metal plate in my leg. I quickly said, YES (I don't), and walked away...
I setup my gear prior to Alice In Chains taking the stage.
I was able to tape their entire 45 minute set!
Guns N' Roses took the stage at 11PM, which was a welcomed change from the previous 12AM start time.
I was able to capture their entire performance without mishaps.
The highlight of this show was the appearance of Sebastian Bach who sang co-lead with Axl on the Appetite For Destruction classic, My Michelle!
Overall, I'd say the second concert was the best of the two night stand in Sin City.
Axl seems to perform at his best when he knows he has the next night off.
After the show, Limulus and I spent some time with another fan in front of the arena and watched a bootleg T-shirt dealer get hassled by the authorities. This was very entertaining!
If the dealer had been willing to sell me his last shirt for $5, he could have avoided the entire ordeal!
A few minutes after the bootleg T-Shirt dealer bust, Limulus and I headed towards the New York New York Center Bar for the post show GN'R fan gathering.
We met several well known collectors from the GN'R trading scene and hung out for a few hours before heading home...
Guns N' Roses must have an open taping policy in 2016....
I had my mics mounted on a hat in plain sight of venue staff on both nights and was given no grief!
Thank you, Axl!!
Please tape/film this band when you see them!!

In addition, I'll be at the Guns N' Roses concert at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX on August 5th!
My credit card is in a GN'R related Coma...
URGENT REQUEST: I am in need of contact information on the individuals behind the bootleg labels, Lost And Found and Bullet Records.
REQ: Would someone PLEASE pick up a 2016 Guns N' Roses tourbook/program for me at one of the upcoming shows?
I'll have my hands full at the Texas concerts. I won't be able to hold any merchandise while, "taking care of business".
THANK YOU!!
REQ: Any of the commercial Guns N' Roses 2016 bootleg releases in FLAC format. Download them. Don't buy 'em!
REQ: Any uncirculated Guns N' Roses audio/video from 1985-1993 in lossless format.
Does anyone have a recording of the Guns N' Roses performance at the Astrodome in Houston, Texas
on September 4, 1992? If so, please share!
REQ: All access passes for the 2016 GNR Texas shows.
I plan to upload this recording to DIME, The Trader's Den, and Usenet (a.b.sounds.lossless.24bit, a.b.sounds.flac, a.b.sounds.lossless.bootlegs).
You are welcome to upload this recording to any blog/file locker/forum/non-music themed tracker as long as the *ENTIRE* file set is available for FREE download!
I don't want anyone on Earth to spend a penny on this recording!!
Respect my wishes, eBay parasite SCUM!!
A word to the wise...
There are several eBay parasites among us, the worst offenders are: asht-ada, Fortus_2008, and layitdown.
asht-ada is ultra scum! This individual has shamelessly downloaded torrents from DIME and then repackaged them for sale on eBay.
If you've uploaded a recent recording by Iron Maiden, Megadeth, The Stones, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, or GNR, among others, there is a very good chance that asht-ada is illegally marketing it!
Check out the eBay listings of "asht-ada" here: http://www.ebay.com/sch/asht-ada/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
In the immortal words of Jeff Spicoli... YOU DICK!
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7zfnbdyAW8)
Fortus_2008 is another vile DIME predator who markets shows that have been uploaded by enthusiastic fans. This parasite specializes in Guns N' Roses live recordings.
Take a look at the Fortus_2008 eBay listings here: http://www.ebay.com/usr/fortus_2008?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
layitdown is another spineless leech who has made big bucks by trolling the trading scene and passing off homemade CDRs on ebay as "Promo" releases...
Get a load of layitdown's counterfeit homemade "Promo" GNR releases: http://www.ebay.com/usr/layitdown?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
and check out layitdown's feedback here: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=layitdown&ftab=AllFeedback
Who are these criminals kidding?!?
These assholes have profited off shows I have recorded (GN'R Las Vegas 2016) and will attempt to generate income off of any hard rock master that you've shared in good faith!
If you have been ripped off by these degenerates, please take a moment and contact eBay's Verified Rights Owners Program (VERO) at: 866-322-9106 (USA only) or http://pages.ebay.com/vero/intro/
File a report claiming that your intellectual property has been illegally marketed. If enough of us do this, these thieves will be banned from eBay!
I'd also like to make it known that those Japanese CDR/DVDR "Pro-CDR" bootlegs you see on eBay for ridiculous sums of money can be easily had for $25 or less in Japan.
Don't become a sucker! "Pro-CDR" bootlegs of downloadable content are considered a joke among hardcore collectors!
To prove how little value these things hold, head over to http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/ and search for: Guns N Roses 2CD.
You'll be amazed! If you MUST own these things, import them directly from Japan. You'll save significantly!
As a savvy DIME user, you may believe that the marketing of free fan recordings does you no harm.
Be aware that I've been in contact with tapers who will NOT share their master recordings out of concern their work will be repackaged and sold!
Bootleggers who use free fan releases to make easy money... HARM ALL FANS!!
Tip: You'll learn much about the fascinating Japanese bootleg culture by searching Twitter.
