Bootlegs

This page contains some nice footage available for download. If not stated otherwise the rights of this footage are owned by Turin Brakes. If you believe you are the owner, please contact me and I either remove your content, or add your name to it. All downloads on this page are (live) recordings that haven’t been (legally) released on CD, tape, video, DVD or any other media. Files are in MP3-format (except when stated otherwise), but to avoid heavy bandwidth usage of this site (which costs me a lot of money), unfortunately the files are ‘zipped’ to .RAR-archives. This means you first have to ‘unpack’ the files, then you can play the .mp3-files (or whatever the format they files are).

Some files are hosted on Mediafire (when mentioned), others on Rapidshare and FileSonic. In that case you will first go to a separate page where you have to click the “Start download now” text which appears after about 10 seconds on that page (after the file is scanned for virusses first).

If you are asked for an username and/or a password, enter “ethersite” (without the “)in both fields. If you have ANY problems downloading, let me know by emailing stefan@turinbrakes.nl

2010: BBC Radio Wales ‘The Evening Show’ (2 September 2009)

The first of many radio sessions and interviews for Bottled At Source. this first one is also one of the better ones in my opinion: the interview is laidback and relaxed and the songs are well performed. You can choose to download the whole thing (11 MP3 files with interview and acoustic songs) or just the music (Underdog, Painkiller, Never Stops and Fishing For A Dream). Make your pick and enjoy.

RAR-file with 11 or 4 MP3s.
