2010 or 2011 Audio

I love the music that and the narration of the show and would love to hear an audio version of an entire show. Does anyone know where I might find a video with good quality audio that does not have the narration deleted?

I know it's a strange request, but I'd love to put it on my mp3 player and listen as motivation while I run! :D

I've got the VTB SmokeOn and VFAT07 show audio in mp3 format on my iPhone if you want those.

Dita, am I correct assuming you want something with Mother narrating?

Unfortunately, I don't have a complete recording with her... I do have an old exceptionally good recording from the 2004 team (but the music is obviously not the same as nowadays).

Check this YouTube video of the 2011 team. It has some of Mother's narration.

Ells, I'd love to have a copy of your MP3 from 07.

Lawndart, yes, I really want the full audio with Mother narrating. I have the Luke AFB show on file and I love it, but unfortunately, much of Mother's narration has been edited out.

If anyone is at a show this year and gets a good audio, I'd love to have an unedited copy of the program.

Huh, the DBOP was actually changed to U2's Beautiful Day last season. I must have forgotten to update the list... Thanks!

Sounds like you're right! I noticed they used it for the reposition for the Blue Out Opener at JB McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, but didn't realize it was the song for the ROTO/MCSS as well. Thanks!
