Odometer Spins

speedometer

I just noticed that earlier this month we passed 4000 bootlegs (we won't even count the 200+ that the Googlemeister has brought down).

I have at least 150 already scheduled and if my sanity holds up, we'll be looking at over 5000 by spring.

Thanks for the support, encouragement, patience, etc. Have a great weekend!

WOW!! I never fail to be impressed with how many live shows you have, shared and the variety.
And you're a one man operation no less.
Thanks for all the great music in FLAC.

Thanks for everything you do sir! You make everyday something to look forward to besides the normal everyday grind. I love the historical apect of live recordings. For example, I'm currently in the process of listening to the entire Bath festival for the first time, which you posted several wekends ago. I try to imagine what it would have been like to be there. And I can try to determine it's significance in the history of rock music. Collecting, and listening to live music is my hobby, and I have a neverending supply of things to listen to. I'll look forward to many more great surprises in the future. Outstanding work!!!

Whenever I lose my faith in humanity, I return to this website and prove me wrong. All the best to you, Dave. You da man. Loved the recent Rush boot. Never heard a boot before where they perform "Superconductor" live. I owe you mate.

Have a killer weekend,

Timo

Amazing, I love the diversity and quality of the music, and most of all the endless surprises.
Another great feature of this site are the comments, it's great to read peoples recollections and recommendations etc, a community of music lovers in fact.
Special thanks for helping out with the Beefheart requests and the Bluenotes too, much appreciated
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thank you so much, if the music industry only had the same attitude things would be so much better and they wouldn't be in such a mess.
I also enjoyed the Bath festival, history, as well as most of what you give us. I love the variety of music, best wishes.

Thank you very much. I can't remember what I used to listen to before I stumbled upon your blog. At least my vinyl collection isn't getting overworked and worn down any more...

Dave, I've been a regular visitor for about two months now and like many others who have posted comments here I consider it to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of my day-to-day routine. I've especially enjoyed the Billy Joel shows, the early Stones outtakes, the Steely Dan and Led Zep concerts and the delightful Harry Nilsson, to name a few. All the best to you and yours.

4,000 boots and you still have not given your leechbase some of the best music to come out in a long time - Them Crooked Vultures.

4,000 is a huge number, congrats on the effort.

My quest for rare Floyd & Zep
ended here at QualityBootz. So many wonderful shows that I would have never been able to afford, had I ever even been able to find them in the first place. And I've been looking for some of them for *years*. How wonderful to stumble across them here for only the cost of a RS or MU account. Now I've got almost a TB of music I'd given up on finding a long time ago, and you to thank for sharing with us all. Man, Thanks So Much for all the work you put into this site, and for being so kind as to share it all. Long Live QualityBootz!

Mr. Dave, many thanks for your incredible efforts. I don't mean to pry, but, what is it you are driving/riding that can do 170 MPH?
