Jools Holland SE44 Highlights 1080p torrent

This is a collection of clips from the 44th season of the Jools Holland television programs "Later… with Jools Holland" and "Later Live… with Jools Holland" [or something like that] which is the one and only source (that I know of) for "lossless quality" music videos on the internet.

Mr. Holland's show fairly unique in that it typically brings to stage artists that are, or were, hitherto mostly unknown (especially outside of the United Kingdom!). Hence many of these shows have the feel (but not the look) of a "talent contest" having little, or often no content of any interest. But, due to the sheer volume of shows produced, it is bound to happen that one or two quite exceptional artists will appear on the show each and every year.

It so happens that Season 44 of this program is available for download in its entirety, being hosted by one or two very generous individuals.

Since each show would be either 2 Gigs (Later Live…) or 4 Gigs (Later…) in length, hosting an entire season of the show would be quite a large burden for any single individual. And, even if theoretically feasible, collective hosting of these shows in their entirety, *in reality* would probably be impossible to organize. However, I might as well make a suggestion that if someone were able to acquire one episode of this program and see that the seed count is exactly 1 (as it usually is) then seed that one episode indefinitely (or until its seed count increases beyond 3) and you would've done your part in maintaining the availability of the show overall ;)

I went through season 44 and there were several acts that I liked, some I liked but "could do without" but mostly I found stuff that I had zero interest in. The show brings on a lot of bands and, you'll notice, have not saved any of their performances. It just seems like the year 2014 simply isn't a year for bands. Only individual artists seem to have anything going for them these days. It will surely be a long time before we see another "Led Zeppelin" let's say.

Here are the acts I saved, that are included in this torrent, and that I will probably keep for a few months:

For all but one of these, the original Dolby audio is contained in the "Dolby" subfolder as an .avi file. Merging a given video with the original audio is a simple matter of running a program like avidemux and selecting the corresponding audio track for output "by file name".

All were created via demultiplex. No video encodings were involved.
