It is really amazing that this thread has resurfaced at this time.because an anonymous member of
http://www.tapecity.org named jelinto has recently seeded two (Bit)torrents of this great 1999 CHUM Toronto television special

there is a video collection ( a set of vob format files which are presumably the complete set of files as copied from a DVD's video_ts folder and from which therefore the DVD may be recreated) the set of files is a mighty 4.96GB so only those with a broadband internet connection should try, unless they have oodles of patience
the seeder has also created a second torrent by encoding just the songs ( by removing all of the talking) as losslessly compressed flac format audio files totalling just 293.26MB and from which an audio CD may be burned
If you were to register as an anonymous member at tape city you can then search for other GL torrents the results of which will also include at this moment
sound only file sets of the two PBS Chicago shows 1973's Made In Chicago and Soundstage 1979




also

• Frankfurt 1975
• the 1977 Cerebral Palsy Benefit broadcast from New York's Avery Fisher Hall

• the 1976 Montreux festival broacast
  Also the
  
• JOHNNY CASH SHOW, Jan 20/27, 1971, ABC-TV SHOW (NTSC DVD)
  which includes Gord singing IYCRMM

I am planning a simplified "bare bones" tutorial on torrents




"What they are; how to find; how to acquire them then what to do with them. but if you do not already know here are a few tips:-

1. read about them at the wiki:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(protocol)
digest the FAQ at

http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/1.html
in particular the second paragraph on the linked page
http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/3.html


which uses a brilliant analogy of a group of book readers sharing the pages of a book,

1. download a torrent "download control" program (recommemded is the tiny mutorrent or microtorrent from

1. 
   http://utorrent.com
   (arguably the very best small program (only 282 KB) ever written)
2. install utorrent
3. in options>preferences>directories enter where you wish the downloads to be stored
4. find a torrent by googling (or binging) for (item name) torrent
   only use results that have seeders and are a free download of the torrent and the associated media fies (never pay for either)
5. save a (usually) very small *.torrent file where you can readily find it
6. click on the saved file it should sport the green utorrent icon
   
   you should next see a box listing the files that the torrent would download yu can deselct any tyou do not want then accept it
   utorrent should then immediately open
7. note that downloads should automatically resume after an internet reconnection
8. be patient
9. run a few virus/malware programs such as Malwarebytes
   because "you never know"
10. be patient
11. Enjoy!!

Note that if an audio torrent's files are in the flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec) format
you can get a codec from:-
http://www.xiph.org/dshow/
to play them in Windoze Media Player withourt converting them to wavs[*] you can burn an audio CD directly from flacs if you use the freeware burrrn program
