Van Halen - monsters of rock 1988 Dallas, TX 7/03/88

[atomic_punk]

Ripped with "DVD shrink 3.2".

I got this DVD in a trade a few weeks back. Shot in the audience, right side from the stage. Pretty distant and lots of camera movement in some songs. No artwork so if anyone feels like it, please create some. When I got it the chapters were put in randomly and I don't have the time to fix that so you're gonna have to live with it. :D

setlist:
01 - Summer Nights
02 - One Way To Rock
03 - Panama
04 - Bass Solo
05 - Runnin With The Devil
06 - Why Can't This Be Love
07 - Mine All Mine
08 - Drum Solo
09 - You Really Got Me
10 - Sucker In A 3 Piece
11 - Best Of Both Worlds
12 - Guitar Solo
13 - Black And Blue
14 - Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love

Encore (Sammy promises that the band will play a free concert in Dallas):

15 - Superstitious (?)
16 - Rock N Roll

Thanks for sharing this show--and could you guys stop talking about high school days!--you are making me feel so old that I will have to change my nick to Grandpa Hawkstar! I must be the oldest person at this site! Maybe we should have an age contest here--the oldest goes first thing! Hawk

[MrFingers]

Thanks for the show!! Just when I was hoping for some new stuff to show up here's this one and the Rape of the Vaults. Gotta love this place.:rock:

Auk5150,
I went to the show in Dallas. While I live in Denver now, I was going to high school in San Antonio at the time. I had just got my driver's license about that time. Can't believe I was able to coax my Dad into loaning me the car to drive up to Dallas after having my license for just a month! :D

What was great was I also made the trip to see the free show in West End a few years later. Ahh, the memories.. :drunk:

[atomic_punk]

Well, then I better post that Dallas free show video for you too.. :thumb:

[Auk5150]

i think the little guys speak for all of us when they say.....

====> :yay: :yay: :yay: :yay: <====



looking forward to dallas!
btw...speeds on this torrent are amazing

[Strawberry]

Well, then I better post that Dallas free show video for you too.. :thumb:

Ha ha!!! Thanks AP! I appreciate that, but surprisingly that is one of the fews shows I already have. But judging by Auk5150's response it counds like it will be well received by all. Would love to see people leeching and seeding that one.

Thanks again brotha! :thumb:

[atomic_punk]

You're welcome.. :thumb:

I will be doing a trade in a few weeks so then I'll get the Dallas Free Show. I'll seed it here when I get it..

[Onfire]

I Was Front Row At The L.A. Monsters Show. That Is After A Huge Riot. What A Blast!!! This Should Bring Back A Memory Or Two.

Thanks A Ton,
Onfire

Hi All,

I know this is late in the game. Any chance of a reseed on this show? I was at this show. It was my 19th birthday. The Scorpions played right before VH. Great show. I also saw the free show at the West End when they fulfilled their promise. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

[Pyrotech]

Great post mate. :thumb:

A Sammy show is always welcome in the collection. The more, the better.
I'll help seed this for at least 24 hours after it completes.

[billamy94]

Hi,

Another groveling post. Can someone please open a window? This torrent has grinded to a halt at 89%. We just need a small push to finish up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

[corwin]

It's running again !

Mmmmm, perhaps walking is better, because I have a lot of uploads going.

At least it's coming your way :D

[billamy94]

Thanks Corwin!!!

[Hawkstar97]

Hey billamy---I fired up mine also--I see 2 leeches at 95% so maybe I am giving you a small boost--be sure to rate the seeder for this show and all of us here that are pushin your ass to the finish line---! see ya--Hawk

[billamy94]

Hawk,

Thanks for the help. 100% and seeding.

Mine will be on while I am at work tonight until some others finish up.

Thanks to everyone that helped get this thing going again. I am going to pass it along to some other friends that were there with me.

Thanks,

Bill

[The Larch]

Well my ass got pushed to the finish line too! Thanks for keeping this alive guys! Have to close down for tonight, but I'll get back on and seed tomorrow.

[corwin]

[dmb5150]

I need some bandwidth so I need to turn mine off for a while.......


Dave

[gator]

If anyone can seed this for about 20 min I would appreciate it. I'm at 98.8% so it wouldn't take long.
Thanks in advance.

There ya go gator...... enjoy! :thumb:
Hopefully you can stay on long enough for this last one on here right now. It's at 89.4% and I'll stay on while I can. If I do have to leave, I'll be back and help later.

[gator]

Thanks jmiahp.
I'll leave mine on for a while.
gator

[ron]

Thanks to the seeders that have hung on. I missed this one when it dropped and jumped on this morning. I'll pick up the slack after I finish. Thanks!

[andy2randy69]

Could someone seed this again please. I'm at 77% and I see a seeder and a leecher but I can't connect to them. Thanks.

[corwin]

Here ya go, at first it seemed you wouldn't connect.

[Hawkstar97]

You people remember that you should also rate the folks that come back in and re seed these shows. Thank and rate the originator and these reseeders--cause if you look at how many grab and go--it would be hard to ever finish some of these torrents (gee...that is how it works)....and you...Corwin...I will see you at high-noon about Thursday! Hawk

[RedHead5150]

Howdy,

Can I please get a seed for this puppy. Been sitting at over 95.7% for a bit.

Thanks

[corwin]

Here's a bone for your puppy.

And remember what Hawkstar said above :p

[guitarplaya5150]

Thanks for reseeding

[corwin]

You are most welcome.
Thank you for the rating, I see it as a token of appreciation and a motivation to keep sharing and seeding.

[mr5150]

hello Corwin, could you re-seed the M.O.R. show? I allready got 77% ...thanx allready!!

[corwin]

mr5150, shouldn't you be doing something to rase your ratio? :chucks:

and . . . where are you :dunno:
There are two leechers both having 32% and needing 77.
RIGHT NOW YOU COULD BE SHARING

[mr5150]

hello Corwin! I put on the download again...but i don't know how to raise the ratio, i got the fastest connection my provider could give me.....(i'm from Holland by the way)

[mr5150]

wow, thanx for re-seeding!! please let me know if it's possible to raise my uploads...thanx again!

[corwin]

mr5150, read my first link in my previous message. Torrents is al about sharing.

Keep your window (Azureus) open so the bytes you have downloaded will be uploaded to others. Especially when you have finished so others can finish their downloads as well.
Ratio is your up / download volume. If possible it should be at 1 (one) or more. Meaning you have upload the same # of bytes as you've downloaded.

[Jammerg]

hello Corwin! I put on the download again...but i don't know how to raise the ratio, i got the fastest connection my provider could give me.....(i'm from Holland by the way)

The way I understand it is that you raise your ratio by sharing *AFTER* you're finished downloading and not while your downloading. That has to be correct as I've uploaded 3 or 4 times that amount during downloading, but as for uploading after I was done, it sounds pretty close to what my ratio shows.

Though the more you share during downloading the faster you'll get it yourself too, as it'll spread out the parts quicker and you'll get much faster download speeds. Many (maybe most even) clients even have built in features that will lightly skip over those that don't share much and favor those that do with faster speeds.

I happen to love Azureus as a client since you can create a column in the seeding area that shows how long you've been ONLY seeding and ignores all time spent downloading. Then I'll just keep a seed going for at least 2 days, unless it's totally dead and nobody needs it anymore.

As long as you're sharing torrents that are 100% finished, you'll eventually get credit for it, though it won't show up on here until you stop and then restart that torrent. (in Azureus it'll show an * symbol while updating that info)

You can also seed other's torrents or simply keep the finished ones going for awhile, so you don't have to create your own. (unless you've got something new of course)

Hope that helps exlpain this ratio thingy. I just don't think anything you've shared while downloading will count so don't be disscouraged if you share a ton and it's not counted. You've got to share it after you're done, when many would simply vanish and leave. That's your ratio rating on here and shows you didn't bail once finished. Don't worry, it'll build over time. :thumb:

[mr5150]

Ok, i'll keep my pc running 24/7 and i'll go check the configuration again, 'cause i'm kinda new here, but thanx for the info...i finally found the site of sites!!

[mr5150]

Well Jamerg, that sounds more reasonable to me because i can't get the upload speed up and since i've been here for a short time, my ratio seems to be low....i'll leave everything that's finished to be seeded as long as possible(space)...thanx!!

[Jammerg]

i'll leave everything that's finished to be seeded as long as possible(space)...thanx!!

Also, don't forget to restart the client in a few days or so to update all that info to the board. I'm pretty sure that it'll update on it's own but not positive about that, though I do know that if you restart the client and each seed in a day or so, your ratio will jump up a bit. (check your ratio right before and then right after if you don't believe me)

For me, I've got to upload a Gig or so just to even make mine budge, but it's climbing slowly every few days and I'm rarely downloading anything anymore so they're getting closer.

Ideally of course you always want your upload amount to "equal or surpass" your download amount (ie. giving more than getting) so if you keep downloading and uploading the same as usual, your ratio will probably never really change much.

I'm still pretty new here myself but picking it up fast. Just passing on what I've picked up from others around here. :thumb:
