A few of you guys have requested a list of demo tracks used at the shows. Many of these recordings are very popular as demos. I usually create a playlist on Roon with these tracks – and give them a quick listen before heading off to the shows. Whether you enjoy them or not – it’s good to have a familiar reference point.
The music selection at High-End Munich 2019 seemed a bit more energetic and free-spirited. You have your usual suspects but rooms weren’t afraid of playing trance, hip-hop, or hard rock. Please enjoy while I finish up the show report!

Thanks for sharing the list, this is great and something I always look for when attending audio shows
Good to hear! I’ll make it more of a habit of posting the demo tracks.
Another thumbs up for sharing the list. It is great to see what the industry is using to show off their products. I’m looking forward to working through this list on my own system.
Hi, Looking for some help. Since the songs are not in order of being played… I could use some assistance for artist and track for the Silbatone & Western Electric clip… @ 39:35
Also… on your list, I don’t see Eric Bibb & Needed Time (Where the Green grass grows) 29:40
