Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison, OBE (born 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician. I don't need live shows that are currently on archive though.Īnyway, as I say, I'm happy to magnet link torrents for anyone who fancies some live (unofficial only) Morphine or anything else I have that may be of interest to any of you.Van Morrison - Discography (1967-2015) Some things that got pulled from archive (the Sirius show being one example), old torrents from Dime/etree etc that are long gone like a complete copy of the Rockpalast DVD (I found a source online that had 22 rar archives to download and all was great until part 22 which is continually corrupt with the result that the dvd finishes near the end of OBH and the interview is cut off) - and other stuff that has been shared here before my time. What I'd like to get for myself is lossless (flac, shn, ape) files of MMJ shows that once were around but aren't any longer. If anybody is interested, I have quite a fair collection of live material that I'd be willing to post (losslessly in flac or shn) to a hosting site or even to create magnet links for you to use in your torrent software (this is a brilliant way of sharing as only the people I and, by extension you, give the link to can get the torrent - if I decide it's being abused I can pull it at any time) For you, as long as I'm online, you can get the files from me just like any other torrent. Aside from MMJ I'm also a fan of the late Mark Sandman and his various projects, Treat Her Right, Morphine etc.
