VH DVD "Rocks The Beer Hall" Balance PPV 1995

[EVH5150]

Molsen Center Toronto DVD - Balance Pay Per View.

Molson Ampitheatre - Toronto, Ontario, Canada - August 18th & 19th 1995

Boy, Lou is gonna love me for this :D I've had a ton of requests for this show, and this is, by far, the best boot of this PPV I have ever seen. Apparently not as many people have it as I originally thought. This version was put out by "The Obscured Collection 10", and is the full show, including the 2-4 minute pre-show introduction.

Not to worry Lou, and other Dave fans. Next on this list will be a late Dave Era boot. What do you guys think about Largo 1982? Or do enough people still need Sao Paolo, Brazil 1983?

Anyway, Enjoy everyone... this boot is HIGH quality, and beautifully done. I would not be at all disappointed if I went into a store and paid the same price as the LWAN or RHRN DVD. I have also included the artwork from VHboots in the torrent. :thumb:

is this still available, I will trade or help with seed. I loved the Balance tour!!

[grantford]

Thanks for this! I think i have the audio for this concert, too! :thumb:

[EVH5150]

It's up! Hop the hell on everyone! :thumb:

[lendef]

I have this and hope that I can Help you seed. Probably torrent will need to download artwork since that file will need to be added. Hope this works so I can help you share this GREAT Show. :D

[sooner5150]

Awesome!!! Thanks for posting this...Ive been looking for this show for about a year now....Great Stuff!!!

[EVH5150]

I know Sooner :D This was posted in direct response to your request :thumb: ... but I have had a lot of them from here and guitars101. I thought this show was pretty commonplace, but if handfuls of people are asking for it, apparently some people need it :thumb: It's surely a "must-have" from the Sammy era.

I remember watching the live broadcase while I was recording it... thinking how fantastic it was. Played that tape OUT. I was so excited when I found it on DVD!

Glad you guys are gettin in on this. :thumb:

[erikson90]

is this the same show as the sharingthegroove version a few months back?

[EVH5150]

Couldn't begin to tell ya bro. I've had it a bit longer than that...but that doesn't mean it isn't the same version. All I can tell you is that it is the one released by "The Obscured Collection," and it's the best quality version of the Balance PPV I've seen.

Sorry bro.

[SweetHomeAlabama]

Any way to seed this in a MPEG format? until I can procure the proper DVD burning equipment? Just curious..

Thanks, as always...

[EVH5150]

Sure. I can seed an MPG... but you'll have to wait until after everyone is done with the torrents I'm seeding right now. Adding another would seriously slow down this DVD.

Give it a week or two... there's a few other things I want to post too, but I'll make sure I get it up for ya :thumb:

[EVH5150]

First leecher is 50% done. Movin' right along guys :thumb:

And in just a shade under 20 hrs... not too shabby.

[lendef]

I ran into a snag. I may not be able to help after all. I believe your files are labelled with lower case whereas mine are all caps. I am going to try renaming this and see if it helps. EVH5150 I am going to PM u amd see if you can send me the jpg file for the cover since I tried to dl just that and azureus does not seem to want to cooperate. Hope I can help. :dunno:

[bb5150]

Thanks, I'm at 47% will leave it up to help out as much as I can.
Thanks again, I am new at this but will share as much as I can.

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

[EVH5150]

Glad you decided to jump in and try it out man :thumb: You won't be disappointed! Thanks for the help! You're already feeding those behind you, and if you leave your torrent seeding after you download, you'll just continue to feed it.

Everyone seems to be configured pretty well here... My stats show me an average total download speed of 521kbps for the whole torrent. Man, these things are powerful if you've got a lot of people. It's only been running for 22 hrs or so, and we've got a constant average bandwidth of 521kbps from a single 40kbps seed. Can you imagine if we had 3 times as many people connected to the torrent?

My top two leechers right now are at 68% & 49%... once the first finishes, the second will be RIGHT behind, and this thing should start to gain some momentum :thumb: Once I get another seed or two with me, I'm gonna post a few links around to see if we can draw some more into the torrent. I want this one to be the biggest mutha' on the site so far :thumb: :cool:

[greenpaw5150]

I was haulin ass when I first started (150kb/s) but now I'm stallin out at about 15kb/s, is there any settings on this Bit Tornado that I need to change to get the fastest speeds for upload/download? :dunno:

I'm new as hell at this and would love any help! Thanks for this show! :thumb:

[EVH5150]

Hey GreenPaw5150, glad ya made it over!!!!!! :thumb:

There's not a lot you can do to control Bit Tornado. My recommendation is to shut the torrent down and uninstall Bit Tornado. Then go and download Azureus... You can read about it and find a link to the page in my Q&A forum here: http://www.jamtothis.com/showthread.php?t=31.

Once you've installed and configured Azureus (it's a freakin' breeze), you can just restart the torrent exactly where you left off, as long as you save to the same location you originally did with Bit Tornado. :thumb:

Glad to see you here dude... Always enjoy reading your posts :thumb:

I've run across two different edits of the Toronto show. There's the original Pay-Per View broadcast (approx. 1 hour 40 minutes long), and there's also a 50 minute version I grabbed from WinMX which obviously chops a lot of the original PPV songs out, but includes some material that wasn't available on that original PPV broadcast ("Jump" followed by a very brief version of "Runnin' With The Devil").
I'd never seen anyone mention the editing differences before, so I thought I'd just throw it out there.

[EVH5150]

You know, I thought I had heard something about that, although I've never seen the video, and I didn't want to sound like a stooge... So thanks for pointing that out:thumb:

Hey, um... any way we might be able to... I don't know... see this video? :D :thumb: I'd actually love to have that shorter clip you're referring to if you have it handy? If not, no biggie...worth a shot :cool:

Yeah, to verify... This is the exact PPV broadcast, no extra material that might have been cut from the show.

[EVH5150]

Gotta drop my seed for about 20 minutes guys.

Be back real soon :thumb: nobody disconnect :D

[EVH5150]

Back up Boyeee :chucks:

Strait back up to 40kbps :thumb:

[EVH5150]

Sweet guys. This morning, I have one leecher at 99.5%!!! He'll be done within the hour... I've got 5 other leechers all over 70%.

Gonna take off soon!

[EVH5150]

Well... we've had 4 people complete the show, but none have stuck around to help seed afterwards... so I'm still all by myself.

Still lookin good though. Everything's moving nicely, and we should have another 4-5 people done in the next couple of hours. If you any of you guys can, hang out for a little bit when you're done downloading. At least until we get a few more people finished. 1 seed by himself, feeding more than 20 people, for a whole DVD is pretty rough.

Don't worry though... I'll keep it runnin'... even if I've gotta do it for a week strait :cool: I won't leave any of ya' hangin' :thumb:

[sooner5150]

Once I grab the show, I will help seed!

[EVH5150]

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Some fuckin' chatter... go team! :thumb:

[bb5150]

82.3% will let mine stay on also once complete, can't wait to check this out.

On a different note, I am eager to find this past Atlanta show, it was AWESOME!!, I attended St. Louis and Atlanta this tour. I have the St. Louis show, really, really want the Atlanta Show. September 17, 2004, Phillips Arena, just keep and ear out for that one.

I have Albany 04, E. Rutherford 04, St. Louis 04 and 1982 Largo DVD's if someone wants to trade. I am new to the Bit Torrent world, can seed one of these later on if I learn how. Help me find Atlanta!! Please :D

[bb5150]

I just jumped off and downloaded AZUREUS looks like that works much better, it says that I'm only 71.8% complete, where Bit Tornado said 83%. :dunno:

Anyway looks like I will be done tonight for sure, will leave it up all day tomorrow.

it's nicer in CABO :)

[EVH5150]

Azureus is DEFINATELY the better client. The difference in completion is probably because you shut down BT and lost a little bit of data... either that, or some of it wasn't absolutely complete and failed Azureus's check. In either case, it's only a few percentage points, and you'll make that time up just by switching clients.

Thanks for the offer to stay and seed. (thanks to you guys who I see helping now too!!!!!!!!!) Much appreciated all. :thumb:

[ptrocks]

I will be seeding all night and all day tomorrow (at least until the evening time). I don't post on boards much, but I want to say a big 'THANKS' for posting this.

[EVH5150]

Thanks for the help :thumb: And it's good to have ya'... posts or nay :D :thumb:

[sooner5150]

Got the show fully download and burnt to DVD...it looks great! I used to watch this show everyday after I taped it from PPv...then I lost my tape...so glad to have this now...thanks a million for this!! Im gonna upload it to my server over the weekend and Ill post a link for people to grab it...Ill probably put it up in .iso format...is that acceptable for everyone? Or does everyone prefer the .vob files?


Thanks!

[grantford]

hey guys, lets keeps some seeds goin for at least another day. id like to get this thing downloaded and i can keep the PC on 24 hours/day on the weekends!
thanks :thumb:

[patt5150]

Thanks Chad great quality show, to think I paid $29.95 to watch that on pay per view. If I had just been patient and waited 9 years I could have got it for free (lol) :D Thanks again, I'll seed the show for 2 or 3 days. :thumb:

[EVH5150]

You guys are all very welcome!

There's plenty more comin! :thumb:

[lendef]

My vote for next post is the dvd version of the US fest83. I have VCD version but wonder whether your dvd might be clearer. It is an awesome concert. I just ran into a vid from Argentina TV in 83 that looks like it could be good but seems grainy. Just my vote :thumb:

[grantford]

I would also prefer the us fest on dvd. i downloaded the vcd version, but i have not watched it yet. how do you burn vcd's versions? ive never tried, ive only burned actual dvd's versions of shows!
thanks :thumb:

[JMoney]

Hey guys, still figuring out what the heck I'm doing here, but I believe I am downloading now and I'll do my share to seed assuming I don't screw it up...

[EVH5150]

Cool bro :thumb: Welcome, by the way... great to see somebody else made it!

You should be cool bro. If you're downloading, then you're already seeding those behind you, and you'll continue to do so. Then, when it finishes downloading, just leave it go... it will continue to seed everyone else! Thanks for the offer man, and enjoy the video! :thumb: :cool:

[JMoney]

Chad -

One question I forgot to ask - my PC has a dvd player but doesn't have DVD burning capability (only cd) - I'm happy if I can watch on the PC, but not sure what software (Nero?) have the capability to play these file types in case I have trouble - any thoughts? Thanks...

[EVH5150]

I have a burner, so I hadn't even tried until about a week or so ago when somebody else was having trouble.

I can play them perfectly on my computer using Nero Showtime (part of the Nero 6 Suite)... but if you can't get your hands on that, the dude I was helping said that PowerDVD was a quick/easy download and it worked flawlessly. My personal opinion is that Nero would probably be the more powerful program, but if all you're trying to do is play the files, then you'd probably be ok with PowerDVD. :thumb:

[JMoney]

Cool thanks - I'll give 'em a try.

[EVH5150]

No problemo dude :thumb:

[Mrbeasty]

People need to keep on seeding ... :dunno: ... I have been waiting for ST Louis show for three days, and have half the '95 show for two days ... I am seeding the '83 US Festival!

C'mon guys!! Share!! :o

[EVH5150]

Nobody else is having a problem duder. Theres 10 seeds for this.

The St. Louis show lost all the seeds, but that's going to happen after weeks...you need to request a reseed :thumb:

[diamondmike]

Keep seeding guys and gals!

[diamondmike]

Need more seeds! When your at 100% leave it up for a couple of days to help out.

[eddie5150]

hi !!!
I've got a problem : i'm at 99% for this show, and now, BitTornado tells me "unrecognized host, go to jamtothis.com and login". I tried with Azureus, bbut i've the same message. Somebody can help me please??

[timmac]

I get the "unrecognized host" error, too, even while logged in. Any help would be much appreciated!

[eddie5150]

I played the files on Windows Media Player, my god !!!! That show is awesome !!!! Can't wait to have the whole show !!

Thank you so much for trading it, EVH5150 :thumb: :thumb:

[EVH5150]

My seed dropped off last night guys.

I don't know if that's the root of your problems, but I'm reconnecting right now, so hopefully that will resolve things. :thumb:

Yeah dude, this is definately a high quality, kick ass DVD... I'm glad you like it... and you're more than welcome. :thumb:

[timmac]

Nope, that didn't help - still getting "unrecognized host" and an IP address. Anyone have any ideas?

[diamondmike]

I need more seeds. I only see 2 right now. Im averaging 2kb/s

[EVH5150]

We're workin' on it bro. All the seeds dropped off, and I'm working on reseeding this... It'll take a little time, though, cuz I'm seeding 2 other DVDs as well. ;)

[ptrocks]

Can't seed right now, but will open up in a few hours. I'll leave it running all night and into the late afternoon tomorrow.

[EVH5150]

Cool! Any help is much appreciated :cool:

[diamondmike]

Much Thanks guys! I will leave mine up all next week if seeds are needed.

[diamondmike]

Im back over 20kb/s! Thanks to whoever is seeding.

[ptrocks]

Every time I re-open the file to seed, I'm getting the 'rejected by tracker message'. Not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions or advice on fixing it would be appreciated. I'd like to seed this over the weekend.

[Mrbeasty]

MORE SEEDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rjwest21]

All I get is "rejected".

It's like my teenage years all over again. :D

Stuck on 90%, but I'm trying.....

[eddie5150]

Hey, EVH5150, HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! :D
Hope i'm not wrong, i saw on guitars101.com that your birthday date is 10/8... sorry for being late :p

[EVH5150]

Thanks! It was definately a good one. We had a bon fire and some friends over... I was more tanked than I have been ... since my last birthday :D I was an idiot, and immediately picked up a piece of a cinder block that broke away from the firepit's wall... 4 fingers on my right hand are blisters, basically... but oddly enough, they don't hurt today, and I was too blitzed to feel them last night.

Got to spend the afternoon with my family, and my son made me cards and signs and things... always heart warming. Only problem with days like this is that they make you realize how often you just don't get days like that. I suppose that's what makes you appreciate them all the more.

Thanks for the kind wishes:thumb:

[EVH5150]

MORE SEEDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, seriously... you just need to be patient. There are about 30 people leeching this show, and contrary to what the tracker stats show, I'm pretty sure there is one seed. ME! I may be wrong, and I apologize to anyone else who is helping, but I can't connect to any other seeds, only leechers. I am uploading at a steady 30kbps...but there are only 4 upload slots available. Those will be distributed between the 4 people that will finish fastest and can upload the fastest. Until then, you ARE going to CRAWL. They will seed down the line as they go, but this thing isn't going to pick up speed until the first few people finish... it's like a brand new torrent all over again.

[EVH5150]

This will be reposted in a new thread, with the new tracker information momentarily.

You will have to download the new torrent file, but you should be able to pick up right where you left off. :thumb:

I'm closing this thread... watch for the new one :cool:
