Yeah, I'm pretty excited.  My torrent software has been running 26 hours on this one, with 3-4 hours to go (94% downloaded).  Check out the video thread above in the Tapings section (http://www.mymorningjacket.com/cgi-bin/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1214356223/86#86); I'm trying to compile a list of DVD quality vids, so any others you can share would be GREATLY appreciated.  Atlanta 11-12-06 is an audience recording with a killer setlist, if anyone has that to share.

yep, that's my thread.. I think I have that ATL video too... I'll see about getting it up next.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

I just finished the 28 hour torrent DL.  I'll leave it up and open to seed others (forgive me if I misuse torrent lingo).  Would love everything you have for Jacket video, Kory, but have learned to be patient (training for the next 6 months before the new album/tour).

Hey Trish.  For those who want to download and burn this DVD, here's a quick primer, taken from a post I made for the Charleston DVD and edited for this show:

For those new to the DVD burning game, here are a few things that might help.

1. If you don't have software for downloading torrents, click here to download and install utorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/

2. Click on this link to the Mercury Lounge DVD torrent file: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84072&d=1290738197. When dialog box opens, click OPEN

4.  utorrent will automatically start the slow download.  Don't shut down your computer until its finished.  Give it overnight (my download session took 28 hours!).  The file will end up in your DOWNLOADS folder unless you change the destination first.

5.  Open a DVD burning software.  

Nero is good but expensive ($80): http://www.nero.com/enu/store-nero10.html  

I just bought DVD Cloner 7 for $40, which will burn this DVD and can also rip from commercial DVDs to make copies and a whole lot of other things: http://www.hermanstreet.com/store/smarthtml/dvd-cloner-7-t20.html?&ICID=AB-DVD%2...

Easy DVD Clone is free for 7 days: http://download.cnet.com/Easy-DVD-Clone/3000-7970_4-10416957.html

6. When choosing the files to burn (software might say "add"), browse to the folder you downloaded via utorrent.  It should read "MMJ_MERCURY".  Open it.  

7. Choose the folder, which should read "VIDEO_TS".  Don't open this folder or try to add the files individually.  Just add the entire VIDEO_TS folder.

8. Be sure to have a DVD+R or DVD-R blank disc in your DVD-RW drive.

9.  Check to see if your burning software requires any additional steps (naming the disc, choosing transfer mode such as hard drive to DVD5, etc.).

10.  When all looks good, check again.  Don't be afraid to hit the BACK button to be sure your ducks are in a row.

11.  Click the BURN button (a right-pointing arrow in DVD Cloner 7).  Be patient.  Expect 10-15 minutes.  When done, toss the disc in your favorite DVD player, fingers crossed, and HOPEFULLY, you'll melt yo face!

The torrent download also includes a folder of "extras", such as info on the taping and a jpeg file for a DVD case insert.  

If anyone fails to succeed with the above steps, I can burn you a copy.  Normally, I ask for folks to cover costs, but this fits on a standard DVD-R blank disc and I won't do a DVD case (I just used the DVD case for some software I won't likely need).  I can print the insert or email the jpeg to you as an attachement.  I'll also post it below.  The discs cost me 60 cents and postage is under a dollar, so I'm not too concerned about $$$.  Seems silly to PayPal such a small amount.  Hopefully, Santa will bring me another spindle of 50 for Christmas.  

I watched this last night.  Wow, what a difference to see Danny Cash and Johnny Quade instead of Bo and Carl.  Jim in his bare feet and HAIR, HAIR, HAIR.  They've clearly grown and matured musically in the 7+ years since this show, but the power of Jim's voice is there behind his mane.  Patrick's post-Steam Engine solo is nearly the same as on Okonokos.  Some real treats in this setlist, and a nice solo set from Jim.  Check the setlist on the DVD insert jpeg below.  Oh, and a great interview is included on the disc.

Once again, thanks Kory and everyone else responsible for putting this DVD in my hands.

[Ruckus]

Thanks Kory :)

OMG started watching this today, and wow!!!  Fantastic! Thank you Kory, and thank you JY for giving us the DVD!
We decided to wait until evening to watch in full, since there are lots of little ones scurrying around here today!   

UPDATE:  Watched it last night in it's entirety, and cannot wait to watch again!  I loved everything about it! thank you again!

[subinai]

downloading this now. awesome.

[BigHerm]

Downloading this now. Thanks Kory and whoever is seeding, Kory too?  Will seed for a couple months when finished.

Edit: Finished downloading and watching now.  :D Incredible  :D

I did this audio transfer several years ago now from Kory's DVD.  I know I have a FLAC  version but I can't find it now, so when I do I'll post it.  For now, here's an itunes aac version, straight from my personal Vault.  I know I did a light edit and fixed a very brief drop out in one of the early tunes, but I can't hear it anymore, but I mention it as I did this small correction, and now its seemless.

I need to dig in my box of DVDs like i said i would before and start torrenting again... I'll work together a list or something in the coming days and see where to start.

Looking forward to this. :dankk2:

[mumblingmouse]

So glad I found this.  I watched the videos on Youtube and had to find a higher quality version.  This is definitely one of the best MMJ sets and audio recordings I've heard.  Thanks to everyone involved in the recording and sharing of this, and to whoever is still seeding the torrent! :dankk2:

[Swedgin]

Are there any other MMJ DVD torrents around? I'm working on downloading this one now.

I would glaldy do a B&P if someone would be willing to copy some for me? You know, if you do nice things for people it usually comes back 10 fold :)
