hi Dr. Fusion
first of all, tnx 4 this gem! I love SoftMachine and specially the Allan Holdsworth-phase, wow, what a concert in Montreux (have seen parts of it on YouTube before). unfortunately something is wrong with the upload. parts 11 trough 15 of the .rar-archives seem to be corrupted. they have sizes from 58.7 to 85.1 MB instead of the usual 95.8 of all the other parts. so the movie stops after "chapter 9".
is there any chance to have a reupload? well, I know, it's a lot of work, but it would be worth it I guess ;-)
in any case, tnx again for spreading the good music!

To trank grappa & Franclown:

The files are all OK. I just checked them and there is no problem. There probably went something wrong while you were downloading them.

All files have 100,431,872 Bytes except the last file!

The video is good and complete and has been downloaded over 250 times by now!

I recommend re-downloading your "corrupt" files and it should be ok.

Enjoy !!!

thanks man, I thought the same for a moment ...so I'll try what you suggested. viva la musica! :-)

Dr. Fusion said...

For the Love of Music I hope you do succeed my friend :-) But you will, I'm sure about that!

Happy watching!

:)) thanks again, it worked!!
now I look forward to a nice evening, enjoying the montreux-live experience of the 70ies ;-)
in fact, the first time I was at the Montreux Jazz Festival was about 1978. it's a very special place to go, also for the free concerts along the lake-side!
greetings from swizzaland, Trank Grappa
