You can DL this DVD at Hunger City which is open to anyone who can deal with torrents. I posted this yesterday but had to pull it for a technical problem that has since been fixed. Enjoy the holiday.

BC is one of my heros and musical inspirations! I play the drums in large part because of my love and admiration for his drumming and musicianship.

Sorry folks, but my compilation of Billy solos has been pulled for what I consider a pretty silly reason, but not in my control.

FWIW there are still a few great Billy Cobham torrents available for free at The Traders Den:
UK 1974 Billy Cobham band:

Mahavishnu France 1972:

A little tougher to get access to DIME but if you have it you can get some more killer, vintage Boomer there as well:

Billy Cobham Band Kongsberg Norway 1974:

Mahavishnu Munich 1972 with AMAZING upgrade in audio:

I managed to get in on it before it was pulled luckily. Haven't watched yet. Unfortunately, I couldn't seed after I downloaded. For the last year or so I haven't been able to seed tradersden nor dime...I've been reading up about it and it seems it could be something to do with firewalls put up by the ISPs to stop people seeding torrents, I read a guide on how to override it but I haven't been able to get it to work. It's damn annoying because I can no longer download on dime as my ratio is below 0.25. That was after my original account with a 3.0 ratio got pulled for inactivity!

Let us know what you think when you get time to watch.

For those who didn't get it in the 2 days it was at TTD or just dont do the torrent thing I have UL'd a 35 minute version to youtube:

Will do Matt. Thanks for sharing! I haven't checked out Billy much so this should be a good introduction. He was actually my first exposure to open-handed playing.

bumpitty bump. Just wanted to share this again make sure nobody missed it. It will probably be available for a couple more weeks but this hungercity site doesn't have as much traffic as DIME or TTD so things have a much shorter shelf life.


anyone have Karizma Germany? :D still looking.
