Download Tutorial

For those who are new to So Many Roads, here's a quick tutorial on how to download shows from our host, mirrored.to:
  1. After clicking on the link in the post, you'll go to the first mirrored.to page.  Once there, scroll down to the blue box that says "click here to view file links".  Click on that box.
  2. On the next page, is the list of the possible download hosts. 
  3. When you click on one of the download sites on the page discussed above, you'll go to a new page. Scroll down to the blue box where it says "Click here to visit the page on name of host you picked".  Click on that blue box.
  4. You'll now be on the download site you picked.  Each has its own instructions.  With SEND.cm and Kraken (KF), for example, just click on the blue box that says download. With GoFile, on the far right, under the word Search, is a rectangle with a down arrow in it - click there to download.
I have found chosing MEDIAFIRE, KRAKEN, SEND.CM, GOFILE, FILEFACTORY and RAPIDGATOR to be the easiest when it comes to downloading. Tough these days to find a a host that works quickly and easily for both uploads and downloads. Or ones that don't have pop ups. Believe me, in 15 years of running this place, I've been through dozens, some great, some awful, and some that vanished overnight, taking down hundreds of links. No host will be perfect for everyone so hoping  a choice of 10 to 12 might help!

One note - the mirror site only works for folders under 500 mb.  For te rare times a show is bigger than that, I'll be using Send.cm, which seems to have very fast upload and download speeds, with few pop ups.

Hope all the above helps!  Enjoy the tunz!

In the early 1970's former Humble Pie guitarist Peter Frampton released 4 solo albums, none of which garnered much critical acclaim or commercial success. No one could have been prepared, therefore, for what transpired when he released his 5th album on January 6, 1976, a 2 disc live recording. Frampton Comes Alive came from out of nowhere to take the music world by storm. With songs such as Baby I Love Your Way, Show Me the Way, and the mammoth 14 minute long, Do You Feel Like We Do, which featured Frampton's distinctive talk box guitar, Frampton Comes Alive climbed to the top of the Billboard Charts, sold over 6 million copies, and was voted album of the years by readers of Rolling Stone. The album was so popular that it was still in the #14 position in the charts by the end of 1977, almost 2 years after its release. Framptom Comes Alive virtually took on a life of its own. The album defined Frampton for the rest of his career, casting a shadow over all his future endeavors. More significantly, the disc came to define rock and roll in the mid 1970's. FM rock stations began to play more album oriented rock (AOR), as Frampton's album and other similar work came to be called. Other bands attempted to copy Frampton Comes Alive, but unfortunately the results were usually excessive, over produced, and downright boring. Other rebelled against the AOR sound and movements such as disco, punk and new wave emerged. All that, from 1 album. If you want to read more about the impact of Frampton Comes Alive and the dramatic changes in music in 1976, pick up the book, I Hate New Music, by Dave Thompson. Then, download this excellent audience recording, from the legendary taper Mike the Microphone Millard, of Peter Frampton from December 9, 1976, 4 dozen years ago today, on tour in support of Frampton Comes Alive.

On December 4, 1987, my parents drove to the Brenden Byrne Arena to see Frank Sinatra and Liza Minelli in concert.  The crowd of 19,000 filed in, took their sets and waited for the show to begin. They were in for a rude surprise. About 10 minutes before the curtain was to rise, the concert was cancelled.  The reason - the sheet music for the orchestra never arrived.  It was supposed to have been shipped from Los Angeles via air freight, but somehow got lost or delayed.  The show was rescheduled for Sunday, December 6, 1987, 37 years ago today. This soundboard recording captures that rescheduled performance, which unfortunately, my parents were unable to attend due to family commitments.

25. Beautiful
26. Get Together


Despite frequent critical acclaim, The Youngbloods never achieved commercial success, with the brief exception of the summer of 1969 when the Woodstock generation propelled their cover of Get Together to the #5 position on the Billboard charts. The tune became synonomous with the band to some degree, as evidenced by their experience with the Johnny Carson show.  The band wanted to play both that tune and a new song during their appearance. Carson's producers, claiming time constraints, insisted on get Together and no other songs.  The band refused and did not perform at all, which, of course, didn't do much for getting the band national exposure.  In any event, as 1971 wound down, the band was on its last legs.  In 1972, they would disband and Jesse Colin Young would launch his solo career.  This FM broadcast captures the band's final live performance, in San Francisco, on December 5, 1971, 45 years ago today.  Maybe the band knew it was the end, because they finish the show with Get Together!
