David Bromberg – Bromberg Collection Vol. 1

here is the info file from Dime

To celebrate the big indexing of my library – I’m going to try to reseed my favorite shows (look for them – peaches one and all) from the past several years, trying to do at least one from each of the archive DVD disks, in sort of an at least hemi-semi-bi-weekly manor. This is from disc 37. There will be more from this disc later, either tonight or tomorrow.

I’ve searched Dime for these shows to make sure not already up, and not found them, but they are old downloads (in internet years), and upgrades certainly are possible – if for any of these you have a better version, please seed and PM me so I can note the new URL here – I for one would be grateful and happy to get better copies of these shows. I’m only seeding things I think that new dimers and dimers who may have missed the first time though would really like. And as usual, thanks to the original artists for allowing this, to the tapers and to the original seeders.

This is another particular favorite – not sure if there was ever a Volume 2, but if there was, please reseed! Please!

This collection shows the breadth of David Bromberg’s talent, from blues to country to bluegrass to old-timey music to Sam Cooke (first track) and Ray Charles (last track) covers. It lived in the car stereo one complete summer a couple of years ago, and still gets spun on occasion.

I changed the overall folder name to add DB’s first name, and added a ffp file. No other changes. Sources of the tracks in the info file.

Samples in comments.

Thanks, Once I hit a disc where everything is either up or banned, I’ll stop (or at least evaluate continuing). Not for a while yet though. Disc 47 for sure will get mined, there is something on that which is very special…

Hi, not sure you understand the "everything is up or banned" I used – I was referring to my archive DVD disc where all the content is already available on dime, or "banned" in the sense of not being allowable, not necessarily already banned. The method for this project is the "one disc at a time in order, and then it’s done". Because this is sequential over time (somewhere in early 2007 at the moment), when I get to a disc where "everything is up or banned" I can assume that the task is completed, not that it’ll stop the occasional upload, but it may be the end of this project. no point uploading what is already available. It is a measure of being recent. But there are no hard and fast rules, just guidelines – almost had to skip one disc so far as it was mostly iso files, which are not allowed, but there was one really good show on it to use. I may also stop when I find that the only stuff I have left sucks. Or whenever I feel like it.

For example, I’d have reseeded the Wolf remaster Van Morrison show, but he’s been added to the NAB list since then. As was a digital broadcast that would have been from this disc 37 today, but I asked the mods to look at it first.

Thanks for the offer to reseed the collections, I’m sure to want them.

Part of this was simply that I spent a lot of time getting my list of what is where together, though that only applies to archive files, the burned discs are still a real dog’s breakfast. So this was an opportunity to actually look at what is there in more depth.
