Thanks for the tip..
Alas, I have [yet..] precious little access to the (known-of, never mind those unknown Unknowns) vast small-collections of memorable performances extant.
HAL-9000 prompted me (then) to fantasize .. WHAT. IF. a one could call-up! from the vast reservoir of ever-saved recordings
(on down to: lucky amateurs present with a Uher Report-L with full batteries!!) WHENEVER one WANTS [???}
SANS: the entire conspiracy to keep everyone Dumb as The Regulators, under the guise of 'paying the artist==poorly'
{same exasperating deal re. med., chem., or now even bloody-PHYSICS current info.}
And especially SANS: the hideous amount of sleuthing, dbase creation, translating of audio formats to get beyond ...
the TRULY-SHITTY mp3-WorldPlague of originally-Crap Sounds on Crap-Lo-Fi.
DIE M-fucking-P3
{{sigh}}
Yeah, nevah hoppen. But with some $Ms, maybe a close second might be achieved: it would pay decent wages to the army of collectors/sleuths/processors needed.
Just for a start at conservation (we are likely not to be around for that posterity-thing, anyway, given mind-sets du jour.)
Meanwhile, the brain's near-total recall of some Fortunate Live events: still beats even a rack-full of Marantz-9s and all the absurd-$ Tags on the new
Hi-End-for-Suckers mailing lists, I wot.
(Do need to get transliterated -- for car player) the rare exc.-condition LP-set of Beecham / BBC Chorus / Columbia Masterworks: 'First Complete Recording' M2L-245 of
MANFRED
Music by Robert Schumann ... Text by Lord Byron
(Sent the specs to Dan Reck, way-back; dunno if he ever snared a copy; 'what's an LP, anyway?', Sir.)
One immortal masterpiece-at-a-time remains my realizable-motto.
May (your own version) live long & prosper, too!
