It s a bit sour again but…..

From a true source……

What does it mean when the people of DPAS headquarters have other things to do at a moment a show like this is broadcasted?!

FRA,
” RAI confirmed that over 150k people tuned in for the show”
what does it mean “150K people?” so what’s “K”?

“US?” Yawn! We don’t matter none?

@45

i completely understand your point.

on the other hand, we have to consider that there was a lot of people listening, and they didn’t even know who DP are, who’s in the band, what’s the story behind SOTW, which song was being played, which album was that song from….

in my opinion, the dj did a good job as he introduced and contextualised almost every song, so that every listener could at least have an idea of what was going on on stage.

in other words, the live broadcast was not meant for the bootleg maniacs/collectors, but for the “generic public”.

by the way, RAI confirmed that over 150k people tuned in for the show (this figure doesn’t include the web / satellite stream, so all of you are excluded :p).

Overall a very clean show and proof positive that even today, Purple can maintain a level of quality that the youngsters can only wish for.

The announcer’s penchant for gabbing was quite annoying. While his enthusiasm and excitement were appreciated, most listeners already know the stories and are familiar with the songs and personnel. This wasn’t a football match requiring a play-by-play. I can excuse between-song banter, but talking over music–especially over singing–is inexcusable. It’s going to take some creative cutting and cross-fading to make this listenable. Perhaps the über-talking was all intended to frustrate the bootleggers.

Other than that… Fantastico! Sensazionale! Buono spettacolo!

What a waste of time the broadcast was, either Italian DJs are useless or Bruce Payne said yes you my air the show but no one may listen to it, total waste of bandwidth.

I’ve just listened the show and was amazing!, best sound ever for a radio broadcast.

Unfortunately I was confused about the time and recorded only the second hour of the show in wav format with excelente quality.

You can find this recording in mp3 format here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ENVO4FFQ right now.

Long live Purple!

Listening live at the moment! Currently on “Lazy” sounds great apart from the idiot announcer ruining it by jabbering over the first minute of every song!

By: purplepriest1965

purplepriest1965 — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:53:41 +0000

Cant help myself
Listening right now……
Apart from the bewildering aspect of man not understanding that he gets away with the same soloing all the time……
After a while Gillan gets in quite resonable shape, including the emberassing parts ofcourse……but hey, what can you do and expect?…..Paicey and Roger are in solid form…….and the sound is good…….some wine and food, its enjoyable not too bad at all…..

But can someone silence that radio mad man talking bs again and again?

Its good he tries to educate uninformed casial listeners but hey…….too much is too much.

How stupid can aman get, talking WHEN a song is beiong played.

JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP MAN!!!!!

Back to the show,……

Getting back to ya, if God and Svante allows me…..

Burp….

here’s the clip AndreA was talking about: http://www.tg2.rai.it/dl/RaiTV/programmi/media/ContentItem-71228df9-c3f4-4bbf-8caa-890d1d5cd9c2.html

it was in yesterday’s daily news update TG2 on public tv RAI2.
although the player says “deep purple in perugia”, the live clips are from saturday’s gig in rome.

no mention of tomorrow’s radio broadcast - that’s how smart RAI is.

also, i don’t really understand why they start talking about led zeppelin, acdc, rolling stones… they probably didn’t know how to fill the space if they had to talk only about DP :S

fra — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:27:34 +0000

don’t worry about the quality guys, people in italy will most likely rip the DAB signal (digital radio), so hopefully we’re gonna have an HQ boot after the live stream

By: AndreA

AndreA — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 16:35:54 +0000

the live transmission starts at 21.00 o’clock (italian o’clock) not at 20.00
http://www.rai.it/dl/Radio2/musica.html

I confirm that streaming is on
http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/popup/player_radio.html?v=2

today DP play in my town,Milan,but I lost my job 4 months ago and I can’t go to see Them,I can not afford.

this is a sad day to me
very sad

yesterday in TV I saw news-program and they spoke and showed about DP in Rome:
great sound and great wors for DP: THEY are still’rocking on over the world!

take this midley about Rome

i don’t think you need silverlight for the radio. the RAI player is all javascript and audio stream is realmedia.

just open http://www.radio.rai.it/live/radio2.ram in realplayer. although, i can’t get anything higher than 32 kbps from that stream.

By: Joanna

Joanna — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:17:52 +0000

It’s a great idea to broadcast the gig live by radio. The more so because nobody knows when (and if) the event will be recorded on DVD. Thanks! I hope every fan will be able to catch Radio Italiano

By: rik

rik — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 08:29:27 +0000

ANDERS…i have same issue but i think it might be a simple case of downloading Microsoft Silverlite which is; ” Microsoft Silverlight is a web application framework that provides functionalities similar to those in Adobe Flash, integrating multimedia, graphics, animations and interactivity into a single runtime environment.”

I mention this because i also tried the main RAI page and i noticed when i clicked on a video it didn’t play but i was prompted to download Silverlite.

Havn’t tried yet but it seems kinda logical(?).

You need RealPlayer to listen it. download it for free from here: http://www.real.com/
then install the player, restart your browser and then enjoy

OZ: go to the link: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/gmt-converter.htm
it’s GMT converter site, so you can find out when will it start at your town… remember the concert broadcasting begins at 8:00pm GMT…

dear site admins, please update this post and let users know how to play radio (with RealPlayer) and when will the show start…

@Anders - i double checked the links posted by nick, and they work fine. however, here’s the direct link to the player: http://www.rai.tv/dl/RaiTV/popup/player_radio.html?v=2
the stram should work from all over the world with no problems.

@Svante - that timezone list thing is smart! :p

let’s keep fingers crossed and hope that the servers of the radio will not crash due to the number of (unexpected) listeners via web.

i warned RAI, but you never know what kind of surprises to expect…
