Lossy/Lossless ? Checked with Audiochecker with little success.
Checked too with Traders Little Helper, no more success. See various info and logs files.
So I proceeded to Frequency Analysis with Cool Edit Pro, I just used the evaluation version, try it, it is amazing.
Unfortunately I could not paste screen captures to Word, so you have to do it yourself. What I found was lossless it seems, 10 sec in the middle of each track were tested and there was no cut in the frequency it seems. I am not a specialist of the frequency analysis, but that is my opinion. I would be happy to see it confirmed or not.
Now, the links : link link link link link link link link
Thanks to Maruga, and all the original sharers and tapers.
Once again, keep lossless files lossless please.
Regards,
Olivier,

Many thanks for this share, Olivier !
For anybody interested, here you have an artwork I created for this show a long time ago.
Please note this artwork is quite "genuine" as all the pictures I used, including backgrounds, were taken at this gig ... by me :P !!
front cover:
And this is the back cover.
Please note in my audio version CD2 starts with "Days Of Our Lives".
In the third pic you can see Brian´s mic holding the catalan flag, being the definitive prove that the picture(s) is (are) from this show at Barcelona!
Cheers and many tks again to Olivier ... and Maruga !!

Interesting - I would expect this recording to be slightly lossy because Minidisc traditionally compresses data using ATRAC which is a psychoacoustic lossy compression system. Only the newest Hi-MD players/discs offer lossless linear-PCM. Do we know what kind of MD was used?

Yep, I thought Minidisc meant lossy. But maybe we should ask to experts for general advice about that, and about that share especially. I checked some frequency analysis but I'm quite a newbie in that field ! My own opinion is that it is lossless. Someone ?

Well if it's the new Hi-MD then we're fine but I would say that as the old MD's compression was "psychoacoustic" we should also be fine as it supposedly works by cutting out frequencies that we can't hear anyway (or can hardly hear).
