...but anyone who recreates The Royal Scam in its entirety is all right by me.

Awesome funk band. Highly recommend .
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

This is really cool. I hate to ask and show my ignorance, but is there an easy way to download and put on spotify? Thank you.

You are miles ahead of me. I didn't even know you could download and put it on spotify. I have to have my daughter help me with all things computer and webrelated
feel your way back the day before

Well, you can put 'local files' on your set lists though I sometimes have trouble locating where on the PC they are. But this particular site is puzzling to me as far as downloading and finding a good location to put them in.

Okay. As I usually do when writing a tutorial, I'm going to assume you know nothing. So if I tell you to do something you already know, please don't be offended.
Start by clicking the link in the article above the embedded Spotify player that says "Live Music Archive." When you get to the LMA page, scroll down past the player, the setlist and the notes to where it says "Individual Files." There you will see a bunch of columns with links in them next to the track titles. I dunno if Spotify will play FLAC or Ogg Vorbis (and I confess I don't know what the other formats even are), so go under the column that says "VBR MP3." Right-click on the first link in that column, and select "Save Link As..." A dialogue box will open up asking where you like to save it. Save it to wherever you usually put music (My Music is always a good bet, although I'd create a new sub-folder called "Kung Fu - Royal Scam" or something to put it in first). Repeat with each link in the column.
Open Spotify. Go to Edit>Preferences. Scroll down until you see "Local Files." Click "Add Source". A dialogue window will open. Navigate to whatever folder you downloaded the tracks to, select it, and click OK. This will tell Spotify that it's okay to play the files in this folder. Alternatively, you could download the tracks to your "Downloads" folder instead of My Music, which Spotify automatically scans for music files.
Any of this doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try to make a better guide with screenshots. Or maybe a video, if I have time.

Could you just come over to the house and do it?

I made an earlier post promising to help people with the "tech" side of things, if they need it. I intend to uphold that promise.
And yes, if he lived in central PA, I would come over and do it for him...for a small (large) fee.
Also, who knows? Maybe he has a Mac.

Sadly, the Grateful Dead on there is now streaming only, but it's just about everything in existence, so go nuts!
