I guess you better figure it out then.
I don't have any spare change for you, buddy.

I haven't listened to that Ruins show yet. Other stuff is taking precedence.

Hey, I was actually able to burn this '87 Metroplex one to a dvd. Success!

Thanks for nothing you.....you.....you....

The seeder had no instructions on the Ruins to not convert to lossy, so it's ripe to be shared. If it's something you really want then you'll get it from someone.
I was thinking of putting it up at the group.

I've stated it a hundred times.
If you're not using BitTorrent and you don't have a dime membership, then you're really limiting the sort of great material that you can readily get.

I've noticed that, but why does it take 300 years to download a show? I've tried with some interesting Velvet Underground stuff that i had found on their forum, but it was taking THREE HOURS to download it!!!

Absolutely. I think the only flaw is that little cut during the intro to Brother James and mine has some little self-correcting problems (skips for a few seconds) at the end of Pipeline too.

I have two others (Headliners in Madison & Spirit in San Diego...both from our benefactor) on dvd from '87 and this one I think is the best one. I saw a lot of hardcore shows at the Metroplex back in the day. Although, you gotta love the part at Headliners when Thurston is asking the audience to donate them some clothes...oh, and when the joint is lit.

Three hours isn't that long for a torrent. The reason torrents take long is because the files are of the best quality available. They are lossless files if the torrent is audio and DVD files if it is video. They aren't mp3s or mpeg or wmv or some other cheaply encoded videos.

I thought all of the torrent shit sounded complicated at first but it's easy. I guess it's because of the program that I use. Just get µTorrent and install it. Then right-click a file and open it. It will automatically open in µTorrent and start downloading. I didn't even change any of the settings. I still get an NAT error but it doesn't seem to affect my downloads in any way since I can download at full speed when there are a lot of seeders.

SonikJesus, pork/krop's already off and starting ten threads about the the cobwebs on his ceiling. Besides, all the guy has ever done is talk bad shit about torrents.

µTorrent, besides being guaranteed spyware and adware free, is a good user-friendly utilitarian program. Although I don't use it myself, I've recommended it a few times; the reason being its (yes, I agree) extreme ease-of-use.

I just burned our newest gem to DVD.....hope it works!

Thanks for that. I've re- downloaded the software yesterday and i suppose i'll leave the pc on for a while, in order to grab it. As far as atari is concerned, he needs to double up the dose.

it is dvd format, isn't it? or not?
coz, it sounds (from what you're saying) that it meant to be difficult or something. haven't try it myself yet, but i want to, once i get home.

Well, it's quite a short amount of time imo. Just let the program run and do something else in the meantime. For torrented DVDs you would have to wait for days (as long as there is only the original seeder), but most of the times (99%) it's well worth it. If I had, say, "instant" downloads I would never find the time to listen/watch the already downloaded goodies properly, so waiting a few hours/a couple days is not bothering at all.
Hehe, I was "listening" to this dvd (I mean, it was on whole I was doing other stuff) and my heart skipped a beat when the sound had that little "cut", but it's all good.

I'll never do anything with the information most likely, but then again, just maybe I'll get an itch to have some of your brand of "fun" someday.

Should I be scared? No.

I wonder if those are the Matthew Kaufmann demos from 1975, because I have those. The landing page doesn't say. It is notated that it was originally seeded on EZT before the change to dime, so I think it is.


So much Hendrix stuff is on official releases. Glad the seeder removed the offending track and re-upped this. Good catch, thanks.

Regarding the Talking Heads demos there's no seeder, hope that'll get fixed.

EDIT: that's fixed people grabbed it.

That Record Plant NYC '69 Larry Young/Jimi Hendrix is pretty unique...a cool listen. Larry plays his signature Hammond organ style and Jimi lays down some tasteful guitar. It's one of those things that you download and listen to and you have the inclination to thank the heavens for the privilege.

As for the Miles, he departed company with his second great quartet/quintet (Hancock, Carter, Williams) by '69, but I can stand the '69 and '70 stuff okay because I like what Miles is playing. (Bitches Brew-era is still okay overall). Wayne Shorter (from the Quintet) is still there. Dave Holland is good, but of course Ron Carter was even better. I also like Jack DeJohnette who is great like Tony Williams, just only in his own way. I don't really care for Chick Corea that much though; I never have, and unfortunately, he has the propensity to stink things up quite a bit.

anyway, '70-'71-ish is my cut-off for live Miles...and I prefer stuff pre-'68, all-in-all...

Did any of you get the 5/06/95 The Metro Chicago sbd for Mike Watt All-Stars?

It's really good. (perfect soundboard, excellent performances, cool artwork, etc.) It brings back memories of when I saw this tour. The audio is from pro-shot video and I would like to trade a dvd or something if someone interested happens to have the dvd video of it.

There was a torrent listed as "New Order 1988 Demos flac," or something, and when I clicked on the torrent address it went to a "page not found" error. I think the torrent was banned and deleted at that very moment because when I checked back, it's not longer listed.

I wish I still had the page open, but I tried to click 'back."
The seeder wrote that the source is a tape they got off of ebay.

I'm just getting a Gentle Giant just as a lark because it's an FM and a Frank Zappa FM right now.

The recent JSBX is not a soundboard as purported. It sounds fairly good, to be sure, but it just irks me that so many good sounding audience recordings always get tagged as soundboards when they clearly are not. I don't think there's necessarily anything terribly wrong with these people's hearing; I think it's their fucking brain that fails them.

What's funny is that the JSBX - "Don't Cramp My Style" bootleg sounds like audience because of the drums miking and the mix, yet it's a soundboard and that this one at the Whisky is marked as soundboard, yet anyone listening to the drums can easily tell different.
