Happy Febru-illie Everyone!!

[revid]

Well, I'm headed up to lovely (cold) British Columbia for a few days, (*waves to and_ed *) so I will miss the High Holy Day of Febru-illie, Friday the 17th. But before I go, I have a little contribution to the Febru-illie celebration: some tasty video bootlegs of our boys for videophiles among us.



Hammersmith Apollo 7 Feb 05

http://www.sendspace.com/file/lqcysk (450 MB)

This is probably my favorite of the 45-50 boots I have. It is a high quality audience shot video on a night where they performed the entire American Idiot CD in sequence. I have it in DVD format, but I shrunk and converted it to mpeg.


Top Of The Pops 2005

http://z16.zupload.com/download.php?file=getfile&filepath=5264 (250 MB)

This is from the awesome proshot BBC broadcast from last year, also shrunk and converted from DVD format.


Comp'd on Fuse 2005

An amazing and rare setlist from last year, including Christie Road, Holden Caufield, and I Fought the Law. (Watch at the end of the video: There's a camera as the boys leave the stage, and Billie Joe looks at it and says "That was awesome!", then 5 seconds later Mike comes in and says the exact same thing! Too cute!)

All these should be playable by most computer video players, but if you have problems, I highly recommend VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc It plays everything, and it's free!

Please let me know if you have trouble with the links.


Oh, and Happy Birthday Billie Joe! (One of you will tell him I said that when you see him, right?)


ETA: I'm going to re-up the Hammersmith show in case that link doesn't come back, but my uplink speed is crap so it won't be ready until 2000 PST. (GMT -8)

On behalf of BC, I extend you our official welcome. *does secret handshake*

I'm downloading the Apollo one because woot! That's new to me. However, sendspace says its unavailable at the moment so I shall, as it suggests, try again later.

I, too, survive on VLC...have yet to find a file it won't play.

Hope you have a great trip...pack a sweater, but its not really that cold. Like thelackey, I guess you SoCal types are just wimps sensitive. ;)

And Happy (almost) Billie's Birthday to you. =)

You're mocking me in other lj's now? Man, what am I going to do with you? ;)

the High Holy Day of Febru-illie

I love that. :)

Like and_ed, I too will be downloading the Hammersmith Apollo show, as soon as it's available. Thank you so much for sharing.

Hope you have a great trip...just ignore all the mocking Canuks you come across. ;)

*waves* Hallo!

First: YAY UNDERDOGS

Second: The idea that B.C. is COLD makes me giggle in a snooty Northern Ontario kinda way. ^^ I hope you enjoy your trip, though. I've never been to the West Coast, though I've always wanted to.

[revid.livejournal.com]

No, wimp was the right word. It was 85 F (29 C) here a few days ago!

[revid.livejournal.com]

Ah, we can mock them back, eh?

[revid.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's all relative! We pull out the heavy coats when it dips below 50F (10 C) here.

[canis-takahari.livejournal.com]

T'is all relative indeed. ^^ Whenever it gets up to 10 C after a long cold winter where I live, I see people wandering around in t-shirts.

Coldest I've ever seen in my hometown was -38 C, though. I've seen colder only with the windchill added on. That's the kind of cold that hurts. Eep.

AWW You're going to miss Febru-illie Day? ;) Oh well... here, you can still celebrate with us:



:D

Have fun in BC!!! ♥

Oh, and THANK YOU for the video clips! I'm off to download them right now. I come bearing one for YOU though! Just in case you've never seen it:

http://s53.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=38R9NKZSSDFMY2KZGAE8DJGJXU

That's Billie's famous "Hitchin' a Ride" scene from Melbourne! HANDS DOWN the best one ever! I hope you're able to DL it but if it doesn't work or if the link expired, let me know and I'll re-upload it for you!! EEEE! It's the greatest thing I've ever seen! The GOOD stuff starts about 3 minutes and 45 seconds into the clip!! :)

[tasyfa.livejournal.com]

Shiver at her? *glee* Ah I'm sorry, but I am most accustomed to poking fun at the Californian idea of cold. :D

[tasyfa.livejournal.com]

Once the shorts come out here, they don't go away. Which means that if we have a few days in March over 10 C they come out and it doesn't MATTER that there's always a snowstorm in late March, people are STILL wearing their damn shorts!

Ow, I don't like anything below -20. It hurts to breathe and any exposed skin fucking aches.

(Apparently you and I are the non-wimps here, weatherly-speaking! hee)

[revid.livejournal.com]

OMG! Thank you. Talk about up close and personal! Whew...I need to take a shower so I can concentrate and finish packing. The best part is definitely the flash of hipbone and skin and tattoo as he pulls up his shirt. And he was so damn shaggy in Oz. But I like shaggy Billie!

{And why in the world would you think I would want to know where to start the playback, huh?}

[mikeyface.livejournal.com]

{Because if the roles were reversed I know I would certainly want to know! I've heard the song a million times, so I would want to get to the GOOD stuff! Hee hee}

:D

Oh! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO glad you got to see it before you left! *SQUEE* You picked out my favorite part too!! How sloooowllly they show you the flash of hip and stomach and... WOW. It was the absolute best and I immediately thought of you when I saw it! ^_^ Have a WONDERFUL (and safe!) TRIP!! :)

[mikeyface.livejournal.com]

You're SO welcome! If the link is expired by the time you get to it, just let me know and I'll re-upload it! Hands (and pants!) down, it's the best "Hitchin' a Ride" scene since ... EVER. BETTER than Bullet in a Bible even!

[mikeyface.livejournal.com]

LOL, I'm late commenting but *EEEEEEEE* I'm glad you got to see it! Wasn't that the GREATEST ever? :D
