I began reuploading a few bootlegs. I intend to do it with more recordings in a near future. I upload them on Mega. Let's see if it works out.
For now, the bootlegs available are the ones listed below:
I've finished reuploading all deleted files and corrupted tracks, and also checking the availability of all files posted in the blog, and apparently everything is OK now. I'd like to thank everybody who commented and sent e-mails warning me about these problems. Once I'm finished with these works, next weekend I intend to resume the posting of new bootlegs in the blog, stay tunned!And please, keep on letting me know about broken links and stuff so I can make sure that all content in the blog is always available!
Now that I'm almost done with college, for this year at least, and on vacation from work, I'm dedicating a time to take care of the blog stuff, beginning by answering e-mails and comments that should have been answered a long time ago, but ended up buried under lots of other things and I wasn't able to give it the appropriated attention.With a little help from these e-mails I verified that the files listed bellow have some problems, and I'll upload them again asap. I'd like to thank everyone who reported this broken links.After re-uploading these files, I'll check the availability of all download links in the blog, to verify if there are more broken links. Some of the files reported missing are actually OK, please be patient with MediaFire, sometimes it just won't let you download the file or say that it's unavailable, in these cases be persistent because it's highly probable that you'll be able to download the file later. Few and rare are the cases of entire files missing.After I finish the checking and the re-uploads I'll begin to post new bootlegs in the blog. This year was the one with the smaller number of posts around here, but next year I intend it to be just the opposite!
I verified that, unfortunately, the 1989 Zürich Tapes bootleg version I have is indeed missing the track Rock Island, that's why I didn't even list it in the post, however it is listed in the artwork. I' ll search for a version with this track and I'll let you know when I find it.
I'm not posting much lately, and the posting regularity won't increase so early. The motive is that I've returned to have classes in College and this year and want to do things right from the beginning, so I won't need to study so hard like I had to do last december.My next post will be focused in verifying the bootleg's download links and re-upload all the requests made by comments, regarding broken links, missing tracks, etc. I´ll do that before thinking about posting new bootlegs, wait for the corrections and re-ups!
It's being really enjoyable posting in this blog, and sharing with other Tull fans around the world the recordings I have. BooTULLegs ends this year with 50 posts with donwload links for shows, radio appeareances, Tull related material, rarities and etc.I'd like to thank everybody who passed by this blog and left a comment, is really nice to receive messages from Brasil, USA, Ukrania, Belgium, France, Italia, and etc, it's amazing interact with Tull fans from all these countries.Thank you and a happy and better new year to us all!
Finally college is over (for this year, at least), and all the stress it gave me this year is gone, wich gives me more time and disposition to update things around here.
I didn't recover that old HD fulfilled with Tull stuff, though I already have everything prepared to do it, found a tutorial that worked for a lot of people with the same problem. But I have constantly found new bootlegs so I already have many things prepared to upload and post, and I pretend start doing it this week!
(I decided try to post in portuguese and english here, because of the growing number of coments from people of other countrys. My english isn't really good, but I think it is understandable.)
Let's begin with the good ones. I found out more hidden sites in the internet where there are the most awesome Tull stuff. I have already posted some of it here, some of you should have noticed that the last bootlegs were bigger than the others, that's because in the site I am getting the bootlegs everything is in Flac, an audio format without compression, with better sound quality, but too large to post in the blog. So I encode everything in 320 kbps MP3 files, what make the bootlegs smaller, but still possible to notice that the files are bigger than the usually found in the internet. The other good new is that I discovered a torrent site with many Tull shows in DVD, with a very good quality. There are some rare stuff, like BBC Lively Arts with a very good quality, far away from the old mpg that runs the internet. I won't post it in the blog, because that kind of stuff is better to download in high quality, burn in a DVD disk and have fun, but I will post this very good tip later.Agora, como não tem pra onde fugir, vamos às ruins. Eu ando com acesso bem restrito à internet, comecei a trabalhar, e faço faculdade, então meu tempo tá bem curto pra subir coisas e postar. Mas continuarei fazendo isso, mesmo que com menos frequëncia.
Now the bad ones. I am with a very limited access to the internet, I got a job, and there's the college too, so my time to encode, up and post bootlegs is now very short. But I will still doing this, with less frequency probably, but I will.
But the worst happened to my HD. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500GB, and it was working perfectly, but suddenly it stopped being recognized to the BIOS. I ran all the tests and find out that the problem is indeed with the HD. In Seagate's site I saw that there is a problem with the firmware of some HD's, now my data is inaccessible, but is intact (so say Seagate). I am in touch with Seagate's Support and they will help me to restore my HD and have my stuff back.
Because of that will be difficult to up and post some things that are already organized and separated to the blog. I have backups of most of my Tull bootlegs, but there are some things that would be terrible to lose.
This is the situation, so the blog might be a little outdated for a while, and I won't be able to attend the coments reporting broken links and missing tracks, but soon I will look at my backups and fix everything possible.
As a compensation to all readers, I will upload today one show from 1977, from wich I didn't listen about before, and showed out from nothing in the internet, with great audio, direct from the soundboard!
