On the first day of Roadburn 2012, there were 26 different shows. On the second, 25. By the time Saturday ended, another 26 terrific sets had been delivered. And another 12 during the Afterburner. Obviously, only some kind of alien creature spawned by the imagination of Voivod's Michel "Away" Langevin would be able to catch them all. What is a mere mortal to do?

Listen to the 2012 audio streams, of course!

There is a treasure trove of transmissions from Planet Roadburn waiting to be discovered. Check out the shows you might have missed or want to relive. To those of you who could not be there: we hope you enjoy the virtual experience! Massive thanks go to the Roadburn sound engineers under the direction of Marcel van de Vondervoort (Torture Garden Studio) and their colleagues from VPRO 3voor12, which is the finest cultural media network in the Netherlands.

The advent of the brand new VPRO site means that we can embed audio streams, making it that much easier for you to listen to them. Anything to accelerate the journey back to the outer limits of Roadburn 2012 euphoria!

Listen to the audio streams for 32 shows (Bongripper, Dark Buddha Rising, Gnod, Nachtmystium, Necros Christos, Orchid, Pelican, Saviours, Chelsea Wolf, Yob and The Wounded Kings among others) here: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/concerten-en-festivals/Roadburn/Roadburn-2012.html

Thanks for all those great streams! They bring back really lively memories

Hope for many others to come! Make sure you upload the Sleep performance, as well as Om, Urfaust, Agalloch, and Purson!

If the recording is anywhere near as good as the real thing, the Sleep performance should be given the official "Live at Roadburn 2012" treatment.

Yes please. I'd buy the shit out of that record.

I would love to see all these recordings become available! Love the vinyl/cd treatment too... Although it might be easier to put them out cheap as digital downloads only... Would really like to have all these shows available on my mp3 player
