    Thanks so much to everyone for their effort and energy, much appreciated. Shame megaupload and rapidshare have bitten the dust, but, there are still some wonderful performances and recordings for all Verve fans

    Hi. Any chance someone has the video of the union chapel 2010? Thanks and cheers.

    July 9, 2011 at 9:17 pm

    @lucky woman. The mediafire link (Jim Beam concert video) doesnt work for me any chance voor megaupload or some other link? Thanks again.

    May 14, 2011 at 11:05 am

    • @Row. Have you tried downloading the file more than once, or waiting a bit for the upload to start? I have a pro account with mediafire as it’s the most user-friendly, and it means my uploads are accomplished a lot faster. It also means I can upload large files without splitting them into parts. Is your problem with mediafire (have you downloaded any of the other mediafire boots?) or is it due to the file size?

      May 14, 2011 at 1:15 pm

      • Row

        @lucky woman. My computer is having a hard time opening de link. I think it’s due to the size. The page would not open. To bad. Others options? Thanks and cheers to all the Richie A fans.

        May 14, 2011 at 6:09 pm

    • Try the alternative download (I’ve uploaded the show in 5 parts for you now, hopefully it’ll work!)

      May 15, 2011 at 1:00 am

      • Row

        @lucky woman. I think I love you! 😉 Many thanks. Have a great sunday!

        May 15, 2011 at 9:36 am

  11. Row

    Does somebody have the whole concert at Jim Beam available on video? Cheers

    May 6, 2011 at 7:36 pm

    • Only 10 songs of the Boston show were broadcast on the Jim Beam site. I’ve uploaded it now, it’s 1.86gb mpg format.
