Corrected Creation 1988 Bootleg DVD Available For Download
May 31st: A corrected Creation 1988 DVD is now available for download from the Sock Heaven BitTorrent tracker. The first version had problems with jerkiness and stuttering on set-top players.

If you downloaded the first version, please delete it and do not redistribute it.

Dakoda Motor Co. Reunites + DMC Creation 1993 Bootleg Download
March 11th: Squinternational Tour alums Dakoda Motor Co. have reunited! Davia Vallesillo is once again on vocals, and they have performed live a number of times already. You can view a video of the Christmas reunion trip to Hawaii on YouTube, see their Myspace page, and visit their official web site at dakodamotorco.com.
What better way to celebrate the reunion than by providing a new bootleg download of their performance at Creation 1993! The source is a localized FM broadcast from the front-of-house feed at Creation, so the quality is very good. Thanks to Jason Wright for providing the cassette source from his collection, and to David Anderson for finding him.
The files in this torrent are approximately 166MB. After downloading, please continue to seed for as long as possible to help out!
Site Update
March 4th: The photo gallery that accompanied The Lighthouse Electronic Magazine's April 1996 article about Steve ("The Three Faces Of Steve") has been recovered:

Don't Buy Bootlegs!
March 4th: Two new so-called "2006 Japanese imports" (also called "reissues") have turned up on eBay and certain online retailers.
The first is an unauthorized copy of Meltdown & Meltdown Remixes. The second, I Predict A Demo, is nothing more than the Early Demos bootleg that has been making the rounds for years.
You can buy Meltdown legitimately through iTunes, and you can download Early Demos (and almost 20 other bootlegs) for free right here via BitTorrent. You could probably even find someone who would mail you a copy of Meltdown for free if you asked the right people.
No good deed goes unpunished, so it was only a matter of time before someone came along to try to make a buck off of material that was shared with fans for free. Don't give them your money!
