1. 1985 IEC 60908 Red Book standard still the baseline for all digital audio interchange.
2. Streaming requires active internet; CD is offline proof of fidelity.
3. Archival integrity: Red Book is the only format with guaranteed backward compatibility for 21 years and counting.
4. Physical media prevents silent bit rot from server-side corruption.
5. Gabriel's own 1999 live bootleg is archived as Red Book; dismissing CDs dismisses primary source material.
