Myspace Transmissions concert download

Many Thanks to ‘aphasias’ for posting this on the forum:

Hello, I don’t post much here but I thought I might point out to you folks that Myspace just posted a great session recording that Neil and his touring band did for their Myspace Transmissions series.

There are streaming videos and streaming audio at the Myspace Transmissions page: http://www.myspace.com/transmissions

You can also download the session in 192kbps MP3, but it looks like the lazy and constantly frustrating Myspace programmers posted the wrong URL, but I was able to deduce where the file would be located by looking at the working URLs for the other Transmissions downloads:
http://creative.myspace.com/design/myspace/transmissions/NeilHalstead_TheMySpaceTransmissions.zip

The set consists solely of Halstead solo material, from both Oh! Mighty Engine and Sleeping On Roads.
1. Oh Mighty Engine
2. Martha’s Mantra (For The Pain)
3. Elevenses
4. Paint A Face
5. Two Stones In My Pocket
6. Witless Or Wise

While you are there, might I suggest that you also check out the recent session from Bon Iver, which is really good as well…
